<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1982492, member: 71723"]I was talking to David Lisot, the video guy, about this very issue on late Saturday afternoon at ANA teardown. We were discussing what the "2nd biggest takeaway story" of this year's ANA show was. He surprised me, and I bet what he said will surprise a lot of the core people here. He said it is now clear to him that the old-timer collectors and dealers are missing what is drawing the new people to numismatics - modern coins and grade chasing. He opined that this new generation will <i>not ever </i>be taking advice from the old guard. They know what they like and darn it, they're going to do it, whether we sixty-something guys like it or not! I think he may be onto something, and we try to fight the label game these kids like at <i>our,</i> and not <i>their </i>peril. Ultimately, <i>they decide and we do not!</i> We will be "achieving ambient temperature" long before they do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
