Remember the good old days when............
I preferred the days when there were shops n shows all over. Added the social element. Also prefer the pre Internet age of scarcity which made it necessary to go to those shops/shows. Was all about the hunt. Took years to see what a satchell Paige 48 leaf looked like. Nowadays , all my interactions are typed on my iPhone and searches occur through a browser. The Internet abundance also means it's a hobby where collecting accumulation is achieved purely by your wallet rather than the effort you put in to find gems. Also means that folks get really obscure in order to maintain the hunt - a lot of that is too obscure for me . I like Venezuelans and off beat brands , but people into scarcity these days go into strange places I care not follow.
