About Anno 1896

So, it is finally official. The site has gone public and I am thrilled to see how it develops. It is my collecting gene that has driven me in to Olympics but I was soon disappointed about the online information about collecting olympics. I am also in to philately and the amount of information is so different. So, at the moment my only ambition is to gather and publish information for collectors of Olympic memorabilia.

Our first logo, lets see how long it survives!

My first interest is the participation medals and, as many, I wanted one of each. Said and done I set out on a journey but soon I realized that this was not so easy. There are so many different and so many varieties of each. And which one are rare and how should they be valued. So many questions and so little information. However, I will soon start publishing some of my findings about the participant medals., Stay tuned.
