MORE
ABOUT THIS SITE,
IT'S
FEATURES
AND A
FEW WORDS ON COLLECTING
by
Carlton
Hendricks
Purpose
of the site expounded
As
stated on the home page, the purpose of this site is to introduce visitors to the
exciting world of collecting Sports Display Antiques, and to be a
comprehensive information source on the subject. Basically the way I do this is
by keeping on doing what I've been doing the last 18 years. Except now I'll be
taking everybody with me by virtue of reporting everything on this site.
Navigating
the site
It's virtually impossible to get
lost on the site. Almost every page has a link to the Home page. The few photo
pages that don't are linked to pages that do.
A
word about collecting...it's not just about collecting
Collecting
Sports Display Antiques is not just about collecting. It's fun to collect, and
acquiring items brings a certain amount of satisfaction, but it's not all about
getting stuff. It's also about the places you go, the things you see along the
way, and most importantly the friends you make. When you get into it, it's
action city...There's always a show to go to...always an auction going
on...and...as you'll see... always always...something you gotta have! But smell the flowers along the way.
Enjoy the sites, stop for lunch, shake a
hand, help other collectors, be kind to dealers...try to make the collecting
world a friendly place by being nice to people as best you can. What a great
hobby it is, enjoy it!
