Having spent several years as an auctioneer, antique dealer and avid ebayer  I’ve decided to write Collectibles Past and Present to provide information about the many things I have gained a knowledge of over the years.  While I’m not an expert on any one type of collectible i have a broad based understaning of most and can point out several tips to aide in identification, classification and acessing a collectibles worth.   I hope you find your time here both entertaining and informative.  Feel free to comment or email me about any questions you might have on the topics I will be covering.
