I have always thought of advanced collecting as a mountain, and the advanced collector a climber. Some who ascend the mountain have maps, compasses, sherpas to guide them, or a group of like-minded climbers to whom they are tethered. Others are free-climbers who find the challenge of scaling a sheer edifice exciting, and even an adrenaline rush. Many never leave the base-camp. But, no matter how you get to the top, some peaks vistas are simply more impressive than others. As for me to paraphrase AA Milne, I'm not lost for I know where I am... still climbing.
