Did you watch the Bob Dylan tribute back
in the 90? The artists looked like they were reading
the lyrics from cards and they were confused.
They had this what? look on their faces. But
not Neil. Look at him goose necking around.

 

LOL! Booker T and the MG's wouldn't exactly be my first choice for a backup group for a song such as this..........Too bad 'The Band' wasn't backin' up Neil.

 

You should have seen the Clancy Brothers
trying to sing a Dylan song . It looked like they
were running out of building when they were done.

That bloke is flipping mad. LOL

 

The Georgia Numismatic Association reported
that 55 YNs attended the YN programs at the
49th show April 19-21. The program manager
called it a record. See NN May 28, 2013 pg26

Doesn't sound like coin collecting is dying in Joja.

 

Sometimes, when a collectable becomes less common in daily life, the nostalgia for it might at first increase, and then as its memory fades, it slowly becomes less popular.

 

Examples?

 

Youtube makes nostalgia easy.

Ummmmm, those tasty pig parts of my
childhood.

Keep your mouth off my beenie babys!

 

Sounds like someone wants to keep this thread alive...
like numismatics, I don't see this thread dying off any time soon...

 

but it is too. If nobody remembers a collectable, then it doesn't have an nostalgia

 

.

 

I think it's better than ever today.

 

Isn't that a nostalgia...or maybe an ostalgia...or...never mind.

 

we all should be promoting the hobby, with our children and grandchildren.

 

If anything, numismatics is the only hobby that won't die. So long as we have non-electronic money, people will collect it. It's one of the few collectable items that has to be produced. Stamps, for example, could be said to be in danger because of the ease of electronic communication and the failings of the USPS, not to mention the simplicity of print at home postage.

 

I was at the ANA summer seminar as a YN..

There was ~25 other YNs there who are very passionate about numismatics.


I also went to the ONA convention, and learned of a coin club that has 150 (!) kids from the ages of 5-10 who collect coins...


It sure is dying out...

NOT!

 

And I am waiting for you and Caz to get together and post some pictures or something.

 

I went with a camera that is finicky...

The only pictures that didn't corrupt are from the mine tour.
