(Young Collectors)Staying at Home
The Young Collector
We write this in our first week of Ohio’s mandatory “Stay at home” order. “Stay at home,” Ohio Governor Mike DeWine thinks, and we agree, sounds a good bit less ominous than “Shelter in place,” which conjures visions of 1960s elementary school kids crowding under their desks. We ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)Notes from Nashville
The Young Collector
Back in our early days in the auction business, every year in February, and sometimes in October, we would make a trip to Nashville. We see now that we were getting on-the-job logistics training. We would go down with a truck full of deliveries and return with a ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Good or Good Enough
The Young Collector
Normally, sitcoms are light, fluffy palate cleansers or heartwarming relatable family stories. We take refuge in one most nights before bed, sort of as a way to rid ourselves of everything else we’ve heard or read during the day, and we’ve discovered that The Good Place is a ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)The Roadshow Effect
The Young Collector
Recently we took the kids to see the final (let’s be honest—latest) installment of Star Wars, and they were talking about how excited they were, and how they could not wait. Andrew pointed out that he had been waiting for this moment for more than 40 years. It ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Under the Influence
The Young Collector
We are part of an odd generation, a generation that straddles a digital divide. We were ten before our mothers owned microwaves, which happened only a few years before we got our first family computers. Hollie says she often feels our childhood was like The Wizard of Oz, ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)Looking for the Good
School has started back at our house, and every year it is an anxiety-ridden process. Like anything that comes with tremendous rewards, homeschooling also comes with tremendous responsibility. And as with anything that comes with tremendous responsibility, there are people who are happy to take your money to alleviate some ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Consolidation
September, the time of year for looking back at the summer and all that has been accomplished! Or not accomplished, as the case may be. One bay of the garage is still filled with furniture and totes, the gutters on the workshop still need to be cleaned, and the deck ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Have a Little Faith
We spend a lot of time on the road, and there are only so many rounds of the “alphabet game” one can stand—or only so many columns one can hear hashed out (if you asked the kids)—so we have become huge fans of podcasts. Podcasts might seem daunting and newfangled, ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)Get On Board
The Young Collector
Part of our impetus for uprooting our lives so completely a couple years ago was the desire to be part of a community. We both grew up in small towns, the kind of place where you saw your teacher at church and the cashier in the grocery store ... (Read More)
