I was interviewed yesterday for an upcoming article in a hobby publication. That, along with the other thread about how long we have been collecting (and I am a mere pup at 14 yrs), got me to thinking what the internet has done to advance the collectability of cards? Also how has it affected collecting, and more specifically, how has it affected the amount of collecting that can be done in a certain period of time. So, in today's internet era how much is one year of (addicted) collecting vs how much was a year of (addicted) collecting 30-40 yrs ago? I would offer that we have information so many times faster today that my 14 yrs of addiction is about 150 yrs of collecting from 30 yrs ago.

Two questions....how has it affected collecting and what time acceleration is there in today's collecting vs yesteryear (pre-internet)?
