Stephen started out by doing a bit of networking, contacting some of the big auction houses to get some leads on who had the most interesting collections. He was not always successful, as some guard their privacy. In the end he was able to get 21 collectors who agreed to participate, and he tried to find a theme in each contributor's collection. It was a great idea and I feel he pulled it off with flying colors.
When he asked Corey to write the article on collecting 19th century, Corey turned to me and asked me to help him specifically with the card section and with other general information. Networking was the key to making the project successful.
