Panel Overview
For forty five years, collectors have been on the hunt and a very important aspect to this process has been networking. Over four and a half decades, the networking process has gone through several iterations as technology has linked the world together. From the original fan club, newsprint, email and the internet, web forums, local collecting clubs to the current social media trends. We will take a look at the history of the collectors networking options through several eyes of our panelists. Each iteration has evolved the social network often with pros and cons. As part of the panel, we will examine this history, the impact each has had and what the future holds.
