[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 6279646, member: 80952"]Very good question and stories. I had a Spectrum clone back in the days and I was loading games from tapes (floppy disks were something I dreamed about, I was wondering how cozy it is to load a game in 20 seconds, seemed unbelievable). Wish I'd see a 15 years old gamer play his games like that :) I was born in 1985 and started collecting in 2012-13 (although I had a few coins and banknotes from early childhood, but nothing older than 1970). I first saw an ancient coin in 2015 and started collecting them in 2020. So i don't have any pre-internet stories to share at all. But yes, for me collecting and especially ancient coins collecting would be impossible without the internet. 99,99% from what I know in this area is from the web. Forums, articles, numismatics.org, RPC online, tesorillo and many other sites where I find new knowledge almost daily. I also buy all my coins from online auctions. I don't know any ancients collector in person, I rarely see coins on numismatic fairs (I think once every 2-3 years), and when I do, they are poor shape and very expensive ("it's 2000 years old, do you think 100$ is exepensive?" well, yes.)[/QUOTE]
