[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 4002120, member: 1262"]Great Topic!! I think it only pays to be a specialist over a generalist in certain high value niches and that some antiques and collectables segments get so detailed and complex that one can only be a specialist otherwise they will get picked clean by the "wolves" in the niche. Niches like collectable coins are so vast and the trade is so specialized that you almost have to be a specialist to be able to adequately judge value, desirability, and be able to profit off of your knowledge.[/QUOTE]
