    I remember reading a collector complaining how he has a nice collection of toys of his childhood, but now when he would like to sell the stuff, no one is buying because the next generation of collectors is no longer interested in his stuff.

    Some years back, I mentioned to a friend that my aunt has a good deal of Elvis memorabilia. He said she should sell it while it’s still worth money, as Elvis fans were getting older and would eventually pass away. He said, “the root of memorabilia is memory.”
    Just thought I’d share that.
