COLLECTORS HINTS,   ‘Space and Aviation Firsts’ © 2017

Collectors Hint 1 – Acquisition of ‘Rare’!

I learnt a long time to obtain 'rare' offerings when they appear.  This was because I lost out on a few key Historical Pieces because I hesitated. 

One was an X-15 photograph signed by 11 surviving X-15 Pilots one being Neil Armstrong.  I have never seen the offer again during the last 20 years.  A disastrous loss to me!

As a result I purchase now and then sort out the financials later.  This is the only time in Life when I operate in this reverse way. 

Don't repeat my mistake! When an opportunity presents itself, make the decision as to your collection focus and then act!  Once these are gone, there simply are no more!
