Default Older Collectors, how did you communicate with other colletors?

Posted By: leon

I do read quite a few things about the history of the hobby. Others will know more than me but the old timers main way of communicating was writing letters. I have one from Jefferson Burdick dated in the late 50's addressed to Walt Corson. I have several others too and they are really neat to read. After that form of communication it was by telephone and after that it was when they would make a pilgramage to visit in person...Hopefully others will chime in about what they know too...There were also some very early hobby publications and they would keep in touch that way. Obviously that was more public. take care
