<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 4494891, member: 16283&quot;]I&#039;ve found a lot of better stuff in collectives (more casual &#039;malls&#039; w/ dozens of amateur casual sellers). The more expert collector&#039;s cases have better documentation,frequently actual antiquities, but for more $$$-good for collectors,bad for resellers.</p><p>&nbsp; If you have major bucks (to collect-not resell) expert collectors can be cheaper than Sothebys or Christies and are a good place to start,especially if you can see their personal stash.The expert collectors &#039;stash&#039; can be accessed by spending cash on his more mundane items.</p><p>&nbsp; -Otherwise,just seems like when the pickin&#039; gods smile on you,they share their ancient gifts for pennies.</p><p>Major Qualification-Expertise + Memory =Score !</p><p>You can see from our Jewelry &amp; Cameo Experts posts,that nothing replaces knowledge when it comes to so called &#039;Lucky&#039; finds.</p><p>&nbsp; PS-If you can afford (not me) the best of the best-iconic hallmark pieces (museum quality),will always appreciate more &amp; are generally recession/depression-proof.The folks who can afford this stuff w/ solid provenance are the legendary 1% watching down on us from on high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
