Never-the-less the number of collectors still in the &quot;dark ages&quot; of the hobby is indeed significant.&nbsp; In many case&#039;s an individual with a &quot;wheel-horse&quot; collection who hasn&#039;t dusted it off in a while is put off by the modern cyber-collector who attempts to dazzle the living daylights out of them with useless knowledge and jargon.</p><p><br /></p><p>You won&#039;t get too far telling an old time collector all his silver or gold coinage is counterfeit because it hasn&#039;t been certified by a Third party Grading company when he&#039;s the fellow who put it up in 1956 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>This site is a pleasant break from the 90mph acronym laced posts one will find on other boards.&nbsp; Occasionally someone will try to intimidate another with how much they know, but by and large an individual with a question can get the time without hearing how to build the clock <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m done, my two-bits is over <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Bone[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
