...or not?
I have to tell ya, I'm a few months in as a pin collector, and I'm still playing my pins (even my first one) nearly every day. On days that I don't fire up a table, it's because work prevents me from having the time to do so, or because it's too late to be making so much noise playing the silver ball. Meanwhile, my 5 remaining vids continue to go month after month of just sitting there -- despite them being some of the most beloved pieces I've ever had. As has been the case with so many vids I've had in my collection over the last decade, it seems like I enjoy owning them FAR more than I do playing them.
I can't help but think that if the right deal came along to do another vids-for-pins trade, I'd likely just close the vid-collecting chapter of my life, and spend my remaining days as a bonafide pinhead.
Looking back on how much effort was put into collecting vids over the years, it's funny to me how it may all actually end up like that.
