<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8177492, member: 77704&quot;]I think you nailed it. Back before the internet, I used to get auction catalogues from NFA/ TkalecAG/ Stack&#039;s. Before that I did not even know that auctions existed/&nbsp; stupidly I bought into FM proof sets/ which I still have and enjoy looking at. Only after I bought a Coin World magazine and saw Auction ads, that prompted me to write them, asking for sample auction catalogues.The three above mentioned did/ after that I was hooked on classic gold coinage. Out of the blue/ others began sending me their catalogues. By 2005/ I learned to use the internet/ sixbid site. It was like the &quot;gates of heaven&quot; had opened/ rest is history. So, in 2022/ firms like Kunker/ Heritage/ CNG/ Roma can open up this wonderfull hobby to billions of potential bidders all across the globe. Imagine if the internet had been around in 1954/ what the Farouk Sale would have realized in 1954 $$$. Hopefully, the fees charged by firms (20%+) won&#039;t go higher, that could be a mild deterrant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
