The Prindable/Schumacher  Staff at Work   Howard Rhonda and Doug Col Tom Linda     Glen COLLECTIBLES AND MEMORABILIA There has always been a good market for memorabilia from every decade. Save those items which depict an event which has great meaning for you, be it history, sports, or cultural events. Preserve paper memorabilia in a flat box, covered and do not fold. This will maintain its original color and integrity. Wrap glass items separately and label them immediately. Obtain documentation for any collectibles even if they are dated. Documentation can make your collectibles more valuable. Don't forget about children's items and special toys. Remember you are planning for a long term investment when you begin collecting current items and memorabilia, plan on storing in an orderly fashion and cataloging so you can readily find a valuable piece. Keep up-to-date on your collection by reading, internet research and belonging to collector's groups. Investing whether in stocks or collectibles is a gamble and a great hobby. Enjoy!

TIDBITS:    Collecting dinnerware is a joy.  You can use and change it as you go.  A very good book to acquaint you with this hobby is "Dinnerware of the 20th Century: The Top 500 Patterns" by Harry L. Rinker.   The most important item to remember is storage and washing of dinnerware.  Don't let dinnerware touch as it can scratch other surfaces.  Also be careful when washing and follow manufacturer's instructions.  Dinnerware with gold trim should always be washed by hand in mild detergent.
