Imprecise survey-19th vs. 20th century

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>My web site shows totals of 2408 visitors to my 19th century card<br />site and 5509 to my 20th century (pre-war) site over the last 3+ years. Very imprecise, to be sure, and reflective of nothing, but I thought the totals would be more even.<br /><br />What ratio best expresses your interest level (not your number of cards or dollar value invested) with regard to 19th, pre-war 20th, post war 20th, and 21st century cards?<br /><br />Mine would be <br /><br />45% 19th<br />45% pre-war 20th<br />10& post war 20th<br />0% 21st

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>The Net54 Vintage Links Section sends all potential viewers of your collection directly to the 20th Century portion of your library, which is time consuming to fully enjoy. I wonder how many viewers never note that a 19th Century section exists.<br /><br />My preferences are 50% 19th Century, 10% pre-1920 20th Century, 30% post-1920 prewar, 10% other.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Many web hits are from google and Yahoo searches, and many more people will google T206 than Old Judge. A lot of T206 googles aren't from Pre-War collectors, but folks generally curious about the famous set, in particular the Wagner. I don't collect diamonds, but out of interest may look for info on the Hope diamond.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I think 101% means some of your cards aren't yours. Just as "giving 110%" in sports means you're using steroids (or, in Kenny Rogers' case, pine tar).

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>I have never much cared for or about 19th century materials. My favorites are the cards issued from 1900-1945.
