Darren,
I thought you meant to say the community of hammer collectors within the
meteorite collecting community was small -- relative to the international
meteorite collecting community itself. Apologies for missing that...my bad.
Many serious meteorite collectors look down their noses at hammer
collectors, and that's where I thought you were going. Either way, an
interesting thread on a seriously vaguely defined aspect of meteorite
collecting...
All best,
Dave

With no solid numbers whatsoever to back me up, I'd bet that there were far
more people actively collecting and concerned about tag variants on Beeny
Babies at their height than have ever even HEARD of a "hammer" meteorite.
