[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 3900185, member: 17270"]I agree. I'm not a button guy, but I do appreciate the value of better items like your TR pin back, and if I found one, I would flip it and be happy with what the current market brings. For me, any selling of objects strictly funds my collecting interests. So, when items I've bought at retail, decrease in value, I remind myself of the "finds" that paid off. For example, I had a passion for buying Maxfield Parrish prints in the 1980s and 90s. They hang on my walls and I enjoy them daily. I think if you really enjoy the pleasure objects provide, then that becomes its value. Value fluctuates, and I plan to die with them, so its monetary worth is the next owner's concern. That being said, mistakes hurt more. Hopefully those are few and very far between. ;) James.[/QUOTE]
