I am sorry for the late post for my blogtalk challenge; Malaysia coin cards. Many thing happened in a blogger world lately and I need to learn many new thing. For instance, my other coin blog (malaysiancoin.com) cannot be viewed. I need to learn how to do the setting myself because my hosting provider want to charge me just for a simple thing. Its like a coin card scenario in Malaysia before, nobody don't want to look at the thing when their price are just below RM20 a piece including me. Most of us were thinking one copy of the cards are enough, why do I need to bother buying more if the price don't going anywhere. Thanks to all the genius dealers who play some control with the market, the price going up. Some of the coin card prices had been going up pretty fast.
Back to my blogtalk challenge, only one blogger dare to take the challenge. Most of other Malaysian numismatic blogger just keep on doing the same thing, sharing their collection online. You cannot go anywhere in the blogger world if you keep doing that. You need to share knowledge not just collection. We have many numismatic bloggers in Malaysia but most of you will stop blogging after a few months, I had seen blogger come and go. In my opinion, blogging is the important way to promote coin collecting hobbies. Nowadays, most people will search for information online, most of them don't know that a book exist. :D
Mr. Danny from Mr. Danny's Coin and Banknotes Collection wrote an article about Hockey World Cup 2002 coin card expensive? He is from Sabah and sharing how he a little bit shock when hearing his friends online said the card price at RM150 in Peninsular Malaysia. He has been searching for the cards almost every time when he visit coin shop and cannot find any for sell. He is lucky when he found out that a shop in Kompleks Karamunsing is selling the cards for RM50. Most probably that shop don't know the market price of that cards. It will be a great post if Mr. Danny share some pictures and information of the said shop because I knew in Sabah, most collectors only knew two place to find their collection; Wisma Merdeka and Gaya Street Tamu.

I know some Malaysian out there who are afraid to share the real market price of Malaysia coins. They afraid they cannot get the item at a cheaper price next time. In my opinion, when people knew the real price, they will share it with their friends. The price will be going up when everyone start to search for it. You will not lose anything for sharing some information.
