However, while the collecting aspect of the hobby is important to most members, and the education that members receive is invaluable and never-ending, the biggest benefit the APIC provides is the friendship and fellowship that develops between members. This has become an integral part of the hobby for all of those who are actively involved. Many members have established lifelong friendships through this hobby. This is most evident when attending one of the regional or national shows.
