Why Waugh's Collectables? Ask one hundred people why they collect, and
you'll probably receive one hundred different answers, but beneath every
purpose is a more primary onethe
love of memories, the love of another, the love of oneself, or the love of
history. Whatever
the reason, all this love makes people happy, and it provides them with
a hobby or career that can be as therapeutic as it is fun. There is never a guarantee that a collectable will increase in
value. This is particularly true of collectables less than a few decades
old-items which have not had the chance to rise, fall, become scarce, become
desirable, stabilize, and (if victorious) enter collectable mid-life by
increasing in value as well as age. Many collectables will indeed become more
valuable, but the best advice for any collector is as follows: buy what you
love, buy in the best condition possible, and buy what can afford. This
is the time-honored advice given by all responsible experts, and its advice
worth taking. If
you will cherish your collectable regardless of merit, it's worth owning. With
love as inspiration, you can't go wrong. Your
collection will always be priceless. -RJ
