Default collecting more....or less, nowadays ??

Posted By: Bruce Dorskind



Whilst we have been dedicated collectors of rare and extraordinary
baseball memorabilia for more than three decades, we find it ever
more challenging to add significant pieces to our card and advertising
collection.

It appears that are less than a half dozen auction houses that now offer
the material that captures our interest.

We have been fortunate to add more than two dozen pieces to our
collection this year including four "one of kind" and/or best card extant
additions.

We look for an extremely volatile market over the next two years. We suspect
that a number of the new "high rollers" will lose interest, that among the 100,000+
Investment Bankers who have or will soon lose their jobs will be a number of
collectors, and we are aware that several great "old time" collections will come
on the market early next year. That should present some interesting opportunities.

Our passion for this hobby is one we will take with us to the grave...
