A guy I work with collects celebrity autographs and knows about baseball and baseball history, so he has an interest when I talk about sports memorabilia and sales. He knows what was Merkle's Boner and who was Walter Johnson and Dizzy Dean and all that.
I never thought it was a big deal that there were few to know local people who collect what I do. As I've had a website for over 10 years, I can show stuff off to fellow collectors-- it's just that they don't live nearby. The internet makes it a small world.
Besides, just because someone next door collect the same stuff as you doesn't mean you'll like the guy. After all, I've observed various feuds on this board.
