Dear Conchlers,

can anybody explain me when somebody is an advanced collector. One who has enough cash
to buy shells. So he can spends much cash / month for buying the most beautiful shells or
then when somebody takes selfcollected material, make tradings, buying seldom, eg.
How many species must have an advanced collector. How much material. What is the
medium number of species (without to many subspecies and forms)  what Conchlers have in their collection
with best shelling greetings
Helmut
