<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2102714, member: 70703&quot;]Chris,</p><p>I will work on that.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of the other things I hope to do with him as a partner, and this will be semi news to him when he reads this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, is to try and either change the landscape of the current club from one with a focus on being an &quot;auction club&quot; to one that has more of a numismatic focus. Either that, or create a sub group or an arm of the current club which will focus on education and learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get it, its fun to buy and sell...but What I&#039;m really after is finding local fellow *numismatists* to engage with. From what I&#039;ve been told this Muncie club is the largest in Indiana and has had some pretty cool opportunities that have been turned down because there&#039;s more of an interest in the auctions rather than the numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a new member, I&#039;m not going to rock the boat too much immediately. I want to get to know everyone and will start socializing a shift as the time is right. I personally think that one of the larger issues facing this hobby is that the interest in learning has been squeezed out by people who are purely after a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I&#039;m wrong, maybe being part of this club will show me I&#039;m wrong...who knows...either way I pretty excited with the possibilities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
