Sorry for the lack of new exhibits. I went away on vacation for a week, and while I am back now, I am having trouble catching up. I hope to post a new exhibit this weekend.

In the meantime, I want to draw attention to an article that was posted while I was gone. I mentioned Antique Trader back in July, when they published an article about toys released in 1957. They have now published a very good article about collecting. I found the part about collecting being more common among children than adults especially interesting. “Children are natural collectors” was a theme Pamela Wiggins picked up on in my interview for the Intelligent Collector, and now here are studies to prove it. You can read the full article here:
