<p>[QUOTE="hasfam, post: 579772, member: 18414"]I can completely understand the frustration. When I started it was like math to me and I sucked at math. It wasn't until I found a true Doubled Die did I see the difference. I've been collecting since 1969 but only started collecting varieties in 1996. This is when I decided to "read the book" first. Learn everything I could in the beginning, not after the fact, so I purchased every Variety and error book I could find over the course of a couple of years. There is a real benefit to new variety collectors today in that there are so many great web sites and forum with a wealth of information to learn from, whereas many of us who started 15, 20, 30 years ago didn't have this kind of internet knowledge to access. I must say, I owe a huge thanks to people like Bill O'Rourke and others who patiently helped me in my early learning days. They taught me a lot and kept me going. Then after time I would find more and more genuine doubled dies, even new discoveries. So for all the new people to the hobbie, allow me to reiterate what was said before. Buy the book, learn the process first. Read the posts. Find a mentor. Keep searching. Don't give up. Part of the great satisfaction of the hobby is in the setting up, the learning, the hunt.</p><p> </p><p>Good luck to all,</p><p>Rock[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
