...but I'm really BAD at chip collecting...I have to look
everything up in other people's books and spam all my friends
with messages like, "What do you think I should sell/trade this
one for??"

You are doing FAR better than I...and I'm happy for it!

I'm so glad you're enjoying the hobby and doing so well with
it....

Keep up the good work! (I'll be your apprentice)
