I agree with you completely, having been a collector since the 1970s. I cannot believe the changes I have seen over the years. It was a lot more fun back in the 70s and 80s, when the hunt was still exciting. Excellent articles, Harry. I agree with you completely, having been a collector since the 1970s.

Please consider writing an article that is positive and enumerates the benefits of being in the business. Also, please tell us what, if anything, IS selling. Thanks so much for all the wonderful information you have provided for so long.

Well said Harry. More people should appreciate their collections for the journey it took them on, rather than for what the net monetary value might be at the end of the day. “Long forgotten is the fact that collecting was once a hobby….perhaps collecting always has been a hobby and nothing more.”
