Collector's Corner
1) Free Email Newsletter for Collectors
By Ina Steiner

Antiques & Collecting Newsletter is a free twice-monthly email publication I've been subscribing to for some time now. They always have interesting stories about collectibles. Ron McCoy [rmccoy@channelspace.com] has written and edited it for five years. The newsletter keeps subscribers informed and up-to-date on general news/tidbits regarding the antiques/collecting hobby, articles of interest to collectors, "what's hot", special guest columns, tips on buying/selling/trading online, help with available collecting resources, and other timely information. If you want to subscribe, send a blank email to: antique-collect-subscribe@topica.com, or email Ron at rmccoy@channelspace.com.

2) Learn the Lingo of Art Collecting
By Ina Steiner

The Biddington's Web site has a "Pedigree & Provenance" feature where they define art words & terms. Go to http://www.biddingtons.com and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click on "Pedigree & Provenance." You, too, can brush up on etchings (and how they are different from engravings), Depression glass and bronze patina.

3) Sports - Buyer of $1.265 Million Honus Wagner Baseball Card Revealed
By Wayne Tuiskula

Brian Seigel, a southern California businessman, bought the legendary T206 Honus Wagner baseball card for a record price of $1.1 million ($1.265 million after buyer's fee) on eBay. Bidding on the legendary card ended on Saturday. In an interesting comparison, the card was sold privately in 1985 for $25,000.

Seigel is an avid sports memorabilia collector who started collecting baseball cards at the age of 10. Following a period of inactivity, Seigel renewed his interest in card collecting in the 1980s by focusing on vintage cards, including the T206 series.

For more information about this legendary card, see http://www.thewagnercard.com and http://www.auctionbytes.com/Email_Newsletter/10/11/12/13/16.html#cc
