[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24796507, member: 26430"]Thanks for sharing it. I won't get into the specific arguments (although, as a collector of numismatic "object biography," and someone who formerly worked in academic criminology, I think & read a lot about this & have many opinions). But I do always recommend subscribing to the Nomos newsletters, if for no other reason than to read ASW's frequent and colorful commentary! (Also, it's a real pleasure to listen to him calling the live auctions, usually with a co-commentator -- maybe John Lavender of late? Unfortunately there's no video feed, and his is the only voice I recognize -- from his writing.) And to read his old articles in [I]The Celator[/I] and commentary in the BCD catalogs (and others from Leu/LHS and Nomos). One favorite, very memorable article of his, for some classical numismatic comedy (very bizarre inside humor, but rather hilarious): Alan S Walker, "Why did those old auctions take so long?" [I]The Celator[/I] 09:06 (June 1995), p. 36 ff. [URL='https://social.vcoins.com/files/file/97-vol-09-no-06-june-1995/']https://social.vcoins.com/files/file/97-vol-09-no-06-june-1995/ [/URL][/QUOTE]
