[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 362856, member: 88"]Welcome to our forum!! :happy::happy: You may want to read this related thread that was posted a few months back. [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/we-hate-to-break-it-to-you-but-your-kids-don%E2%80%99t-want-your-stuff.26902/[/URL] Buy what you like & is something that makes you smile when you look at it. If you are able to make money on it some day then that is a bonus. It is usually a mistake to buy something like this for investment or with the hope that someone else will some day love it as much as you do. However as has been stated above if you like, can afford it & want it then buy it. Most of us here are collectors of something (in reality this should be plural :bag::bag::bag:), but most of us know our kids or our grandkids are not interested in our collections. My main collection is old perfume atomizer bottles. My sons are certainly not going to be interested. I am hoping that some day my granddaughter will keep at least a few to remember me by, but in the end they are going to most likely be sold & sent off to others. Just some food for thought. :D:D:D[/QUOTE]
