I’ve been trying to get back into the hobby through buying and trading coins. Haven’t been very successful so far however…
eBay has close to 5,000 listings of elongated coins at any given time. Going through each one is absolutely exhausting. No matter how I sort, I usually don’t get through all the pages. If I use “Price + Shipping: highest first”, I end up gawking at how expensive the coins are (and getting a smug feeling when I have a copy of the coin in my own collection.) I swear Disney coins weren’t so expensive 10 years ago…
I’m also drawn to those “X different ECs for Y dollars” listings, even though I never purchased any. To think, going through a bag of 1000 ECs will be absolutely wonderful and dreadful at the same time. I’ll be able to fill a few boxes of traders for sure.
Speaking of traders, my trade list is out of date 
I was in the middle of an exchange with Don when I realized that I couldn’t find 4 out of 6 of the coins he asked for. This is a nightmare! Did I have a whole other bag of trades somewhere and just left them behind when I moved?? Maybe it’s time to figure out another trading organization system…
