Thats really good.
I would probably argue having kids is a big factor to moving between stages. My entire collection is locked away in the loft where little hands can't grab and little teeth can't chew! It means there is a postponement in the displaying of things.
Having said that, I think I'm in the stage where the signal to noise ratio improves though, I think it said stage three? However i seem to take a big step back into stage two whenever I see something on eBay I like and haven't got any of...... right then is when I start bidding like a mad man!

Hmm, is there a pause button on the stages? In fairness I'm bordering on 4, with hints of 3.

Hmmm, just been admiring my custom repro cards (thanks to Pauli!) and thinking unless a miracle occurs and a moc snowjob appears on eBay I'm sitting pretty in the 4 zone.

God knows where I am in that sequence it all depends on which collection and what day I decide I want to do what.
