<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 2703355, member: 75641&quot;]As someone fairly new to ancients (say four years), I&#039;m always interested in learning more.&nbsp; I also like seeing work by people I already like.&nbsp; I will work harder to find, read and understand it.&nbsp; Also, I would prefer to read articles that have a good mix of scholarly work but also connect to the average $20-50 ancient collector.&nbsp; I want to learn and get smarter about ancients very much.&nbsp; But you can&#039;t throw me into the deep end, toss a few charts and impenetrable articles at me and say &quot;SWIM NOW!&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember first collecting a few years ago and I was confused because I started with a few AE3&#039;s and then I started buying Folles and then wondering &quot;when did the names change?&quot;&nbsp; Well I could look in a book because I didn&#039;t have $1200 (and still don&#039;t) to buy RIC. I wasn&#039;t familiar with Wildwinds and I didn&#039;t know how to find the right titles in online downloads.&nbsp; Worst of all I really didn&#039;t know where to turn for help in those areas to be able to find my own answers.&nbsp; The one thing I still feel like after a few years of working with ancients is that I always wish I knew more in a wide variety of areas.&nbsp; Like I&#039;m a little too dumb or not a big enough spender to matter in the ancient collecting world.&nbsp; I still have my fun anyway but I wish the knowledge was dispersed a little better.&nbsp; I still don&#039;t know how many SNG named references there are yet or where to find them all.&nbsp; Super frustrating.&nbsp; So maybe bear that in mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
