Why I Left AMICA

I do understand AMICA and MBSI members' reluctance [to publish the
location of their homes and collections].  One worries about being
robbed.  It takes a lot of trust to let strangers into your house,
especially when it contains treasures, easily vandalized.

I did get to go to a convention, and found the group very friendly;
but I didn't join, because the dues would become an appreciable
percentage of the value of my collection.
