Everyone has always dreamed about being able to go back 30 years from today, but as Doug said those people were wanting to go back 30 years from then.

I personally would probably never would have collected ancients since in Iowa there simply were no places to learn about them or buy them. Today, I am one of probably just a handful of collectors specializing in a very esoteric sub-field of ancients.
