I guess it is all relative because I consider myself a low budget collector when I look at the Cobb's and Ruth's and Mantles that abound with the collectors on this site. (Not to mention collections like Al's and Ted Z's...)

Keep at it, collect what you love and don't get discouraged. I keep reminding myself what the pastor teaches (and it is a hard lesson). Comparison triggers one of two feelings - pride - when you feel a bit better than your comparison, or shame when when you feel a bit worse. It is a marathon, not a sprint (another message that I have to remind myself). Good luck! and happy collecting!
