What is this Blog About?

The purpose of this blog is to discuss issues related to collectible items.  How do I define a collectible item?  It is anything a person decides to collect as a travel momento, to reflect personal interests, or for increase in value in the future.  I have started and continue to maintain many collections. 

I have a collection of early 1900's-1950's mayonaise glass holders, a collection of bookends,  a collection of paperweights, a collection of Santa Claus figures, a collection of refrigerator magnets, lots of different stuffed animals, and many other things.  My postings will focuse on various collections and how I started collecting them, the status of the collection, and how I move to new collections. 

If you are solely interested in a blog that discusses what a collection is worth or how you can start collecting for big bucks in the future, this is probably not the best venue.  The worth of a colllectible is in the eyes of the beholder and what one will pay for an item.
