The good is always GOOD

When people ask me what’s popular or in demand in the antiques marketplace, or just what is worth money, I usually start by saying that ‘the good is always good’. Meaning that if something is rare, and I mean truly rare, or ‘the best of’ a certain type of collectible, you can’t go wrong.

Buy with an eye on design, form construction and material and keep in mind its place within its market.

Whatever you collect, look for the rarest and best you can afford and you will rarely go wrong. For instance, you’re better to spend $200 on one GREAT stamp than pay the same amount of money for a whole collection of thousands of common ones.

There will always be good money for good stuff.

An interesting fact
Tiffany lamps were always a rich man’s luxury originally selling for between $30 - $750, but today they sell for $1000s into the millions!
