I just googled "Queen Victoria Medals"

And found my collection was #4 on the front page as a reference. Is there really that few collections, or collectors?

There are probably that few collectors who are posting on the internet about their collecting interest.

Many of the top collectors in just about any area of numismatics are very private individuals known only to a handful of key dealers.

In addition to what Lynch said, many collectors are also probably not so technologically savvy, so they might not even know how to take digital pictures, upload them to the web, get a site or gallery up, etc.

By the way, a very nice collection!

Uh, the savvy part is true as I can find sites but dowloading pics, etc. is still something to learn. I think that many collectors are rather private.

I can not claim to be an expert in medals, but I think people are attracted to beauty in them and not necessarily having one of each in a pigeonhole like the old Whitman books.

You doubtlessly have the old Eimer catalog & check Coin & Medal News from England as there are articles, dealers, etc. there.
