[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 343783, member: 85"][USER=6719]@pewter2[/USER] - Very good post. I don't consider myself an expert of anything. I am one of those people who knows a lot about many things, but nothing about anything. Most of learning is knowing where to look for answers and Who to talk to. As pewter said, the internet has made it easier for today's collector. However, you need a good working knowledge to know what is true and what isn't. Just because info spreads over the internet doesn't make it correct. A good library in your areas of interest is essential. As S_I_S mentioned museums, high end antique shops and I'll add specialty shows. Also talking to people who have spent time in one field or another - they will prove to be the most interesting. And as Johnny said, you will never learn it all. This is a life long learning experience. Enjoy![/QUOTE]
