Shelly,
May I suggest that you purchase my new self-help book, "Hey, You Little
F**kers! Get Off My Lawn!-A Guide to Embracing Your Inner Bitch".
"Full-blown, cranky, cursing curmudgeon" is actually a quote about me
from the foreword of the book, written by my pal Justin Bieber, who is
coincidentally one of the primary reasons I am a hopelessly bitter old
fart.
Being a whiny sourpuss no longer has to be on the horizon, Shelly. Buy
my book and be the churl of a girl you were meant to be TODAY!

It's just on the horizon. Bring it on!

Dave,
Get the most out of right now and never fail to enjoy as much of it as
you can, because you are currently living through what will inevitably
become your own "good old days" that you will be moaning about decades
from now. Trust me on this... :)

You're right, Peter, part of it is getting the word out. No
offense to some on this forum, but many poster dealers are of a
certain generation who are set in their ways and have a certain
way of doing business that almost guarantees diminishing returns.
Much as I respect them, many learned the business in the 1970s and
many have been selling the same way to (in many cases) the same
people for decades.
That's fine, but, well, the hard truth is people get older, get
sick and die. So if that's the way you run your business, sadly,
your client base is definitely shrinking.
Meanwhile, there is a small but, I maintain, a significant and
potentially robust new market that many dealers are not even aware
of because they do not run in those circles.
Many of the people I deal with are young artists, musicians,
designers, decorators and even tattoo artists. All these clients
have a fascination with graphic design and pop culture that goes
back to the 1930s. As they mature and their tastes develop they
will become more sophisticated collectors (though many already
have very sophisticated tastes).
This is an exciting prospect for a dealer like myself who has
confidence that there is a future to the hobby, thanks to these
savvy clients. But, hey, I'm just one of the new guys so maybe
that's why I think that way. I don't have the "good old days" to
moan about.
