<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 4462736, member: 15280"]As a member of the "Boomer Antique Collectors Club", you can understand why dealers in the 70s kept saying how it was getting harder to find the good stuff. Collecting antiques was a major hobby for many of us. Oh, the joy of the Hunt. Back then, it took a lot of work venturing to country sales/auctions/shops. Much less the books on collecting we bought or got from the library. Boy, could we have used GOOGLE! Fast forward 50 years as Boomers are downsizing, we see where it went. Sadly, the youngsters are not actively into collecting the truly good stuff. I see antique stuff for cheap that I used to see in books now on eBay/Etsy. Yep, I'm still collecting. I told my granddaughter in college to just pack the stuff away and store it until she retires. Maybe by then, the values will have rebounded.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
