Yes, good thoughts. Thanks. I was thinking beyond the things you would pick up at garage or estate sales and eBay and more things like you might get at a Christy's auction. For collectibles, maybe rare coins or oriental weaving. And certainly anything would have to be documented and insured.

I've been a fan of the photographer of American Indians, Edward Curtis, and have followed his print prices for several years. He more popular prints have increased in value significantly over the last ten or fifteen years. The less popular have stayed the same or gone down. In a depressed market maybe it is time to buy?

Anyway, I'm not quite convinced of doing this yet and appreciate thoughts.
