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:
