[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24598693, member: 26430"]Interesting comments, Blake! As others said, it sure brings back a flood of memories -- I was in college/grad school at that moment, so even though our situations were different then, we had another thing in common: needing to jump into the eBay fray to support the hobby. I had started earlier -- collecting Greek silver coins with my parents in the 1980s (we had/have a family collection) -- but I became acquainted with Roman coins by that huge flood of coins you describe. I bought & sold them pretty regularly for 10-15 years, give or take. Hard to imagine I'm only half a collector generation away from being an "old timer"! I know it's approaching because I'm now endlessly fascinated by people's recollections & nostalgia about anything happening in the ancient world in past decades![/QUOTE]
