… in order to succeed in antiques & collectibles. And we certainly find that to hold true to the collecting of Ephemera.
That’s the message in a recent online Collectors Quest post by By Deanna Dahlsad
Her post talked about the cover on the February 2, 2009 edition of Antique Week that had three basic tenets:
- Though times = more education
- Knowledge is power
- Nowhere, perhaps, does that time-honored adage ring as true as in the world of antiques.
Deanna turns most of her attention to one specific article in that issue titled: People turn to education when times are tough. While she does not question the need for education, she makes the point that “it takes more than two years of in-depth college education to cover the centuries of antiques and collectibles”. And that is where passion comes in. And to be successful as an antique or collectible dealer, it takes a passion for collecting, not just a passion for selling or making money.
Deanna’s blog, which you can find here, as well as the online edition of Antique Week are well written and informative… and I recommend you take a look.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.
