[QUOTE="MidwestMagpie, post: 4373461, member: 53632"]Hi All, Just to say hello & that I’m excited to be here. I say I’ve “found my Tribe” because it is clear that you all share the same kind of passions for old stuff that I do. A place where a whole group enthusiastically discusses paper fiber direction (or cellulose contents in early Bakelite or 4-track vs 8-track cassettes or 60s chalkware casting mold makers or or or .... yes! ) I personally collect 20th century American souvenir plates, though I also love anything glass or pottery or china with advertising on it! For “work” (estate sales) I’m trying to have just enough knowledge about a wide range of “stuff” (again, mainly 20th cent.) to “know what I’m looking at” most of the time. And, unexpectedly, find it great fun to try to follow the “newest” (most recent, ie, up to 1990s now, GULP!) collectibles or “desirables” if you will. So, my QUESTION & CHALLENGE to all the Old Hands here, (if you’ve actually read this far!): How do you stay abreast of the “new” and emerging markets & trends? Where do you look for your info? Or do you even bother with stuff “that new”?! Would LOVE to hear your thought! Thanks for sharing! xo[/QUOTE]
