<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1915905, member: 26302"]Very true. As someone posted earlier, there was always mail order to access good dealers as well. I do see the internet affecting collecting a LOT. I see many more people being able to collect coins like ancients that they never would have dreamed owning before. I see many more people finding good dealers like Frank Robinson. Do these things drive up competition for me? Yeah, but I am not going to get mad that others finally have found the joys of dealing with what I play with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I am only disagreeing that Ebay or the internet has turned everyone into a dealer, and knowledgable dealers have become superfluous. Maybe the internet has killed off a lot of bad local dealers, or will even more in the future, but I do not believe someone like TomB will ever become irrelevant. If so, then I believe this hobby will be so much worst for it I don't think I will be part of it any longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
