I am a collector of early computer manufacturers, so when I go through a sales list or some albums of a dealer, I hope to expect the papers are classified by type of activity. Oops ... "Oh no, they are classified by country", is a common reaction.
What is your preferred way to go through the certificates ? You can vote for it in the poll below the page. The results will be summarized at the end of the year.
Dear Franky,
ReplyDeleteA very interesting question. But let's face it, no matter how auction catalogs or dealer lists are organized someone misses out.
I collect early rails - regardless of country but I also collect Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium, UK and US.
I would "vote" to continue by country as that seems to be the most common collecting criteria of the folks that I know of.
But, for web posted pieces, I would hope that the sellers would classify multiple ways as that only increases our chances of finding things and for them to make a sale.
Tim
Thx for the inputs Tim.
