The Appraisal Group challenges you to find out what kind of collector you are. New Age or Old School? .
If you checked Items 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11, 12 you are a New Age Collector.
New Age collectors buy from the gut, on the spur of the moment with little thought to value or preservation. There’s nothing wrong with that and often the newer collectibles become old standards by the time your tastes change.
If you checked 2, 4, 5,10,13 you are a traditionalist, an Old School collector.
Collectors with your sense of aesthetics account for much of the social history that has been preserved over the years. The Appraisal Group applauds your abiding interest in the past.
