Hey All,
I wanted to drop a note to the group here about my blog related to original prop collecting, OriginalPropBlog.com.
The focus of the content is original props, in the form of opinion pieces/editorials, news and events, and resources for collectors. I anticipate adding a variety of new content daily, including interviews with key principals involved in the hobby.
One of the audiences I am writing this for are new collectors - new entrants to the Original Prop Hobby. So perhaps some of you might find the content of interest.
While it may seem overly cautionary from the outset, my goal is to cover a series of very important issues in an attempt to educate collectors about some of the risks involved in collecting these sorts of pieces.
For those who may not know me, I did begin by collecting replica props several years ago, and made a transition into collecting original props. I touch on this briefly in an article I just posted today, Original & Replica Props: The Dynamics of Two Hobbies, which I thought might be an appropriate entry point into the blog for interested members of this forum.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the content of any of the articles, and invite you to reply to the articles on the blog, here, or via e-mail (jason@originalpropblog.com) if you are so inclined.
Thanks for your time,
Jason De Bord
