Date: June 29th, 2024 4:56 PM Author: samoth Numismatics is certainly one of the most preftigious of the colleting/research-based hobbies.
Hard to pick the most preftigious physical hobbies, as there's way too much at the extremes. |
|
Date: June 29th, 2024 5:10 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) Numismatics is pretty cool, but it's like stamp collecting. I think rare maps are much more enjoyable than some 2,000 year old bronze coin worth $70k
This is my next map: https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/99094/first-map-of-the-great-lakes-la-louisiana-parte-sette-coronelli |
|
Date: June 29th, 2024 5:19 PM Author: samoth Numismatics takes the win because coins have been around much longer than stamps or maps.
Maps are also more difficult to collect due to their size and need for more careful storage & preservation. It seems to me more akin to art or book collecting.
That said, you've piqued a bit of map interest in me. I picked up a couple from the low countries in the past year, one being this: https://www.oldworldauctions.com/catalog/lot/195/497
Nothing at your level, but they are quite interesting and neat to have. |
|
Date: June 29th, 2024 5:36 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) Part of the fun is the careful storage & preservation. I get all of mine professionally framed; it winds up costing an extra $500 or so because I use extremely high-grade materials. Ultimately, the finished product is exquisite and literally a piece of art. For example: https://i.imgur.com/fWpjvc5.jpeg (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547724&forum_id=2...id#47792951) |

|
Date: June 29th, 2024 5:39 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) I have a deep interest in cartography. Back then, maps were deeply political & weaponized. The Spanish were notorious for it; they basically wanted the Gulf of Mexico to appear impassable & blocked by Florida, Cuba/Haiti, and South America--all regions that they controlled. The Dutch maps of the same period were far more accurate depictions of the region. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547724&forum_id=2...id#47792956) |

Those were added by monks later on. The sole exception being the Dutch/Flemish, who were known for their elaborate cartouches, but not the colorization. Specifically, Abraham Ortelius, Johannes Blaeu, and Gerardus Mercator. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5547724&forum_id=2...id#47793667) |

Used to be prestigious but now I think it's prole. Lots of Russian oligarchs, communist dictator failsons of prominent communists from Colombia, etc.
Not like the 60s and before when most of the grid was gentlemen racers trying their hand at motorsports. Ferdinand Habsburg is racing in WEC now but he's an outlier rather than the norm. |
