<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brownboxes73, post: 11455939, member: 96880&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I&#039;m relatively green to antiques and collectibles but for one reason or another I have been <i>pulled</i> into orbit of a couple of collectors and even an antique shop owner in the past few years; this is why I&#039;m here.</p><p><br /></p><p>The person that instilled my interest in antiques passed on this year. He ran a profitable life long business. </p><p><br /></p><p>....So now I need like-minded people to help me grow my expertise in my narrow areas of interest: bronze, silver, jade, Japanese prints/Chinese dynastic items. Additionally, I dabble in comics, sports and film props. Again, not really by choice.</p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>Background:</b></i></p><p>Started with infrequent garage sales somewhat enthusiastically a few years ago when I came across very old and lavish things for pennies in one particular neighborhood...but my enthusiasm fizzled out when I was simply unable to move my items to continue building a more valuable collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>After a recent spell, I have had more fortune with finding items that are desirable, and to bat, ones I personally appreciate. My hope is to keep building a collection of varied items for a longer run...</p><p><br /></p><p>--</p><p><br /></p><p>In joining Antiquers, I&#039;m relieved to find such a wealth of knowledge and expertise for research and comradery. Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
