Aes formatum are cool. I've seen plenty of dolphins, but I'm not sure I've seen a shell before. That looks cool.
You are the most specialized unspecialized collector I know - you are the Croesus archetype. Everything you touch is gold.
Priest: You tend to collect things related to Biblical texts. Art Aficionado: You only buy things with exceptional eye appeal. Trophy Hunter: You...
But this was supposed to be a sustainable price increase based on fundamentals! (LOL). I've been saying for a while now that this had bubble...
Dealers have never wanted credit cards at any show I've ever been to. The service fee they have to pay eats into their profit. Cash has always...
