I continue to scan EVERY page of my collection, now up to 1962-63 Homes and just completing 1958-59 Aways

Now at 24187 scans of all items, its hard work but hopefully will be a reference point for Everton and other clubs supporters

100% the proof of the pudding is there for all to see.

Collectors who prefer not to show anything and keep everything close to their chests like state secrets are of course entitled to their views and modus operandi for sure but that way does not suit everyone.

This is a hobby not a business-no one earns anything from the number of views you recieve, but in a diminishing hobby in that it seems not too many now want to be involved and with some clubs no longer interested in producing then to be able to share to like minded folks[with an interest in the same club or football in general] makes it all the more worthwhile.

Personally for me, i have always thought what is the point of collecting all this stuff if only i get to see it??, when i came across flickr in 2007 i put a few bits on and then did nothing for 2 more years as I was gradually building it up again and after that point as so many others have said it became difficult to drop the habit, i even had one person set up a flickr site for MUFC and his aim was to originally show everything that i never had! [or in my case what i had not added at that time!, as i add stuff eclectically never in any set format usually].

Another point which is linked to some of what i have just said is how few so called enthusiasts never post anything onto this forum to show even one item of what they have, it is not about showing off as some used to do it is about sharing images, information that others can see exist or things they have not seen before and now know what it looks like that is about being in a hobby not looking from the sides and popping up every so often with snide comments to all and sundry.

I am 1000% certain i have over the years shown many items that others have now gone to look for and the same for me as i have seen stuff that now i can look out for as well that i was unaware existed.

Well all i can say is that when i get carted off and shoved in that hole-no one can ever say i did not show what i had and it does not have to be the most expensive items it can be a 50p bus ticket if it has some connection to your club.

No doubt i will get some negative feedback for writing these words but you know what-i could not give a flying f@@k its my brass that i worked hard for and i can do what suits me and as i said earlier if you have the opposite view to me then that is fine, we all cannot be the same but you cannot tell me your getting as much pleasure from the hobby by keeping it under lock and key with the curtains shut tight and no lights on.

Until we clash again Laughing
