I hate to admit this is my opinion but, it is. Ebay has served us the fluff. Yes, they have taken their plan, confused it, and are expecting us not to know that it is just fluff, all puffed up. In fact, if you take an egg, fluff it up into an omelet, it’s still an egg. I […]

As a child in Kentucky, I remember collectors would often go to the old buildings around the area and dig for bottles. They also dug for bottles in the country, because the farmers would often take their trash and fill gullies to stop erosion. In fact, anywhere trash had been disposed of is a place […]

While many of you are too young to remember the good old days of radio, I’m not. And today, radio collectors are a breed of their own.

Detail of portrait by Kentucky Artist, Harvey Joiner, 1852-1932. Up for Auction at Sohn’s this weekend.

I find surprises come at the most unexpected times and places.
I intended to meet Outsider Artist, Doug Odom and his wife at the “One of a Kind Show” at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart at around 10:00am, and then spend the rest of the day at the show. Finding an open parking space just one […]
