Collector Culture

Here are the links I've been checking out for my "assignment" this weekend.

• http://www.collectors.org/
• http://www.msjudith.net/other/040599.htm <-- interesting article about why her grandmother was a bit of a hoarder
• http://www.nationalpsychologist.com/articles/art_v16n2_2.htm
• http://www.wordnik.com/lists/types-of-collectors <-- not all of the "types" of collectors have definitions listed. i'm going to do my best to find more.
• http://comicbooks.about.com/od/collectingcomics/a/investcomics.htm <-- this article is about comic book collecting. however, i think that the descriptions of types are pretty applicable to all collectors.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_collectibles <-- has some info on what specific types of collectors are called. example: oology is collecting eggs.
• http://www.collectors.com/ <-- authentication/appraisal service for the serious collector.

I'm going to continue doing research and will have more extensive notes to add later on. Just wanted to keep everybody posted on how my awesome Saturday night is going!

Lastly, I leave you with this previously promised little gem...
