It only fades for the people who try to buy up the prints in order to resell them, I think. I have the "hunter" mentality. Not the "hunter/seller" mentality. I only collect items in order to have them in my collection. Sometimes to gloat that I have that item. :) The people with the "hunter/seller" mentality sometimes, and sometimes too often, over extend themselves in the act of hunting in order to sell to the collector. :( We as tikiphiles and Shag fans are really few and far between. Not to say that there are not 350 fans/philes/dorks/geeks out there, but odds are high that only 25% of those said fans/philes/dorks/geeks have the money to continually buy up prints. Or have the space. I have a book on Shag, I have a $4 Disney Shag Ratonga shirt and a local band (Shag fan) knock-off poster. This is only my one cent. I have another I'll keep in my pocket. This is not just in regards to Shag. It is anything collectible. Signature? I ain't signin nothin! some people think "dork" is a negative thing :roll: [ Edited by: Mr. NoNaMe 2007-09-19 23:12 ] |
