<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 1411290, member: 1262&quot;]Seems like a good time to review 2019 and start thinking about goals and opportunities for improvement in the new year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your goals for 2020?</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I&#039;d like to help to bring new people into the hobby of antiquing and in 2020 I&#039;d like to work on getting the word out to new potential collectors. It is my feeling that most younger people would antique more if they only knew what was out there to collect and the comradery that could be enjoyed through research, the thrill of the hunt, and the act of building a collection itself. On YouTube, on other social media, and in thrift stores I see lots of young people excited about their new &quot;finds&quot; and I think that this energy needs to only be leveraged to create a new generation of dedicated antiquers. So this year I&#039;m going to be talking more to people I meet about my collections and hopefully point out some cool things that will spur their development into the hobby. Whether it be 1970&#039;s action figures or 200 year old pieces of furniture, everybody has their weaknesses, we just need to increase exposure to the general public. At my workplace I gave out a few dozen inexpensive 100+ year old postcards for Christmas gifts this year and the response was fantastic and several people mentioned that they would be hitting the antique mall to find more!</p><p><br /></p><p>Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
