<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3461692, member: 101855&quot;]There are collectors who would never darken the door of a club meeting because they think it’s going to be boring, or it’s populated by a bunch of small time collectors who have nothing but State Quarter albums or penny boards. I have belonged to a number of clubs over years, and they come at all levels. I’ve usually been among the more knowledgeable collectors, but there have been one or two where I fell in the middle. When I lived in New Jersey, I almost got to go to the big club in New York City, but it never worked out. You can’t get in the front door unless another member sponsors you. </p><p><br /></p><p>It’s interesting that there was a $1,700 item in the auction. I’ve never been to a club that had an item that was that expensive. Some of the high level clubs think they are above having auctions and even frown on buying and selling. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that you will continue your club experience. It can add another dimension to the hobby for you, especially if they educational programs on a regular basis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
