Default Would you be in this hobby but for the Internet?

Posted By: Bill Todd

If there were no Internet, yes I'd definitely still be collecting. Started in about 1980 buying from Wayne Miller, with Den's Collector's Den right down the street. Kept at it slowly but steadily on through the 80s. Got out of it for a while, but when I got back in I could still find plenty I wanted at a couple local shops and in the back pages of SCD. If the Internet hadn't changed things so much, I imagine I'd still be able to come across cards I need (of course, my wife says I don't truly need any cards) through those channels.

If there were an Internet, but I didn't have access to it? Definitely not. Good cards are still available--viz the National--but they're much less accessible without the Web.
