My husband buys and sells antiques. His specialties include advertising, tobacco, and general store items from the late 1880s to the early 1900s. He dabbles online, sells in stores, and exhibits at shows. Collectors will go to great lengths to find what they desire – even rising in the early morning hours to scour estate sales, swap-in-shops, or flea markets.
In my role as a benefits manager for PGi, I constantly hunt, scour and dig, too. I consider myself a data collector of sorts because I keep every piece of benchmarking data I can get my hands on.
