And not in relation to beads, but I think many of us take a similar approach in whatever we collect. Earlier this year I had a similar conversation with a friend who has collected a particular type of antique lamps for decades. He said his collection criteria are pretty much the same as mine, even though we collect different things. I happen to collect antique scientific electrical glassware. I finally tried to articulate what I look for, and it came out as "ROPIA", which stands for Rare, Old, Perfect, Interesting, Attractive. Certainly not every piece I get fully meets all those criteria, but it's fun trying! Tedd Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
