When entering the world of Automobilia, it can be, and is by definition, a vast arena to explore. However like most things in life, look on it as an adventure into the unknown, to be explored and enjoyed. When perusing your chosen area of automobilia it is advisable to investigate and ascertain as much research as possible before you make your investment.
Knowledge is power when hunting for Automobilia.
For example, the internet, books, publications, articles, auctions, auction catalogues and results, together with attending auctions and visiting events related to Automobilia. You will find whatever you chose is intertwined and cross related, for example racing programmes take you into racing circuits, cars and driver related matters which in turn spin you into other interesting tangents.
So initially stick to your chosen dedicated collection. When purchasing don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you want. The expert should give you as much assistance as possible when making your investment. If you are happy with the value, provenance and condition of the item, back your judgement and make the investment. To use one of our phrases, 'if it's good it's gone', so don't walk away from it if you 'have a feeling' as chances are it will have been sold if you return later.
If you are an avid collector of any chosen automobilia it is always better to have a good selection of items to swell and diversify your collection. Try to source items that are linked/inter-related too. Spare items come in useful to swap, sell or exchange in the future.
Happy hunting!
