One $100 item, will usually end up being better than ten $10 items. 3. Quality always stands the test of time. 4. Just because you can't find something on the web, doesn't mean there aren't a thousand like it out there...! 5. Rare, only means something when you're grilling meat !! 6. Provenance is very important....." my Great Grandfather gave it to my Grandmother, who gave it to my Mother who passed it down to me "......is called hearsay ....and usually means nothing !!! ( unless it comes with a photo of Great Grandpa holding it is his hand , & in the other hand he's reading an 1857 newspaper) 7. Collect what you love , & if you have to sell a piece, use it to get a better one ! 8. Buy books & catalogs on the subjects you collect....& read them. 9. Knowledge is power. 10. We all make mistakes.....the thing is to learn from them. Good luck ![/QUOTE]
