As is the case when people do not prepare for the inevitable and collections get busted up going to the wrong people for the wrong reasons and mostly by two ways A) They do not understand the intrinsic value of a collection of many years B) They do understand the value and want the cash.......
Postcript to BAR #12 Some people just cannot wait nor have any morals and are short on respect which is one thing about the human make up I will never get to grips with, a friend passed recently and had quite a collection and I reckon people I know would not have even let him get cold before starting their advance to get some gear he had, he was a gun dealer and had a good swag of lugers, broomhandle etc.
Yes I guess I will always be the last seagull to the chip packet but one thing I will carry to my flash and ash ceremony is honesty, dignity and integrity.
