<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 11528672, member: 23"]No hot pins! You reduce the value by at least 2/3 if not make it useless. Why did people think that damaging an item is a good idea? Not suggesting journey came up with this, but it happens over and over. I've been in the antique business for nearly 70 years - I started helping my parents when I was 8. My Dad would clear out houses back in the day when most people weren't interested in antiques or collectibles. So many valuable items came through with some kind of damage from people either scratching them or putting hot pins in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
