Quoted from Gribbs:I agree with 'keeping it private', but I suppose that any of us that have our collections 'public' are essentially tipping their hand to anyone that might care.
There's so many phishing and other scams out there these days, I'm just not sure it behooves pinheads to publicly declare the value of their collections, or the first car they owned as a kid or whatever irrelevant question Unclerudy is asking this week.
Listing collections seems a little different to me than just blasting out perceived $ value on request on public threads.
And for the record, pins HAVE been stolen from private property before. It's happened. I remember a guy in South Carolina who had his MM among others ripped off when he was on vacation. There's such thing as "buff" and resourceful crooks.
Criminals go where the money is, and there's more money than ever in private pinball collections.
