When I was a child, my parents collected a few pieces of Hull when they were first getting started collecting and didn't have the courage to pay up for Roseville Pottery yet.

Collectors drove in from hundreds of miles away for those sales and prices were very high. Today prices are very low with some of the more common pieces selling for $10-15 at estate auction and $15-25 in many antique malls. Even at these levels they just don't seem to sell very quickly.
