Comments for Collectible Quandary: Can You Collect When There’s Nothing There? at http://dollsmagazine.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://dollsmagazine.com Tue, 21 May 2013 14:11:26 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://dollsmagazine.com/articles/in-the-spotlight/428-collectible-quandary-can-you-collect-when-theres-nothing-there.html#comment-354 So I am wondering - after your pondering on the matter of collecting....did you retrieve her "collection"?? and help her find a safe way to keep it?? My sister once mailed all of her "collections" of things to my grandmother when my mom had a serious fit and said if she did not clear out her room she was going to throw the things out! It is the family joke now when we have messes :) I believe that all you have to do to be a collector is to "collect" and the definition to that is up to the beholder - that is a personal matter! So I would not trade in your "card carrying collector status" just yet! - Christi Olsen Sat, 01 May 2010 01:30:04 +0100 http://dollsmagazine.com/articles/in-the-spotlight/428-collectible-quandary-can-you-collect-when-theres-nothing-there.html#comment-353 Dolls are meant to be seen, but not touched when they are being collected. It's sad that yours aren't being seen now and they're not being touched, either. You have the worst of both worlds! I hope your house is done soon and your dolls can be put on their shelves again. - Marley Fri, 30 Apr 2010 01:09:11 +0100 http://dollsmagazine.com/articles/in-the-spotlight/428-collectible-quandary-can-you-collect-when-theres-nothing-there.html#comment-352 Stephanie I LOVE reading your blog! It has become one of those good ways of marking a week gone by and it cheers me and makes me both think as well as chuckle each and every time. Keep it up. As for the question? I am in the antiques business and trust me, not all collections are in view, on purpose! - darlene Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:55:04 +0100 http://dollsmagazine.com/articles/in-the-spotlight/428-collectible-quandary-can-you-collect-when-theres-nothing-there.html#comment-351 It's hard to always have your collection in good standing. Sometimes things can get carted away or packed away. Even when I am not buying dolls for a while because of finances, I never lose my interest. I love to collect dolls. I don't organize too well though.:'( - Bette P Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:22:56 +0100 http://dollsmagazine.com/articles/in-the-spotlight/428-collectible-quandary-can-you-collect-when-theres-nothing-there.html#comment-350 people collect stamps,coins,gold,jewelry,old wine but not for public viewing. their collection is private and can be viewd as an investment or a hobby. - patricia park Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:33:36 +0100
