FRED,WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR AREA IS GREAT TO GET NEW PEOPLE STARTED IN COLLECTING.THAT WAS MY POINT IN MY ORIGINAL POST WAS TO GET NEW COLLECTORS INTO THE FOLD AND HELP THIS HOBBY GROW.IT HAS EVERY THING GOING FOR IT TO BE A VERY PROGRESSIVE FIELD.I THINK IT JUST NEEDS SOME PROMOTING OR A GOOD NEWS STORY IN A TRADE PUBLICATION.I HAVE ENLISTED SEVERAL NEW COLLECTORS FROM CINCINNATI AND SOME HAVE BECOME OBSESSIVE IN THEIR QUESTS FOR CARDS.I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN NEW COLLECTORS BY RUNNING CLASSIFIEDS IN COIN WORLD AND NUMISMATIC NEWS.SO I KNOW POTENTIAL COLLECTORS ARE OUT THERE,WE HAVE TO FIND THEM.ALSO,THEY ALL DO NOT HAVE COMPUTERS SO WE CAN MAKE AS MANY SITES AS WE WANT BUT STILL NOT REACH POTENTIAL GOOD COLLECTORS.
