What's Collectible
What is collectible? Or why do we collect things? What makes an item collectible or not so collectible? Remember Beanie Babies and Care Bears? How about the beautiful Norman Rockwell Plates? We have learned a few things about collecting and selling collectibles. First it is fun. What you think is collectible probably isn't or won't be tomorrow. If it says it is collectible, it often isn't. What you think will sell usually won't and what you think won't sell gets all the bids. Why do we collect things. Often it is for the memories. Grandma had one just like this. It is a sentimental thing. Sometimes it is for the beauty as in collecting beautiful artwork and glass. Sometimes it is for the history. We love to learn about the things we find. Sometimes it is for the adventure. What really neat and unique old treasure can you find?
