Most collectors focus only on their next purchase—but elite collectors think in multi-year strategies. Without long-term planning, collections grow unfocused, budgets get stretched, values become unclear, and resale or estate transition becomes difficult. A structured 5-year roadmap transforms collecting from a hobby into a strategic, financially sound pursuit.
