The Dinosaur Fan is a virtual extinct life collectibles encyclopedia. The purpose of this website is to provide images and summary information about extinct life collectibles from around the World in a fun, interesting, and highly visual fashion. At its highest level, this site about four things:

 
  • Collecting: this site attempts to serve as a virtual digest for anyone curious about collectibles relating to extinct life by providing photos, checklists, and summary information about a variety of ephemera (i.e., paper items) which include these long-gone creatures.

 
  • Extinct Life: providing images and summary information about the extinct life forms shown on the various collectibles contained in this site.

 
  • Baseball: providing images, photos of collectibles, and summary statistics pertaining to the members of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.


  • Fun: I created this website as way to share my passion for extinct life and collecting. I enjoy the trials of the database work, the challenges of building the webpages, and most of all the perpetual hunt to find previously omitted collectibles. I hope you have as much fun browsing The Dinosaur Fan and I do maintaining it.
