Of course collectables achieve popularity for a variety of reasons – most collectors treat their hobby primarily as a form of investment, knowing that should they ultimately wish to sell at some time in the future they will get back the money they originally invested and hopefully a good deal more too! The cardinal rule for such collections is that you should invest in the best quality you can afford – a damaged plate will never be worth the same as one in pristine condition. However our experience is that those indulging their passion for collectable plates do not buy as an investment, but simply to enjoy displaying them around their home. If you fall into this category, then although the condition is an issue, your priority will be to buy what you like the look of – so if it matches your décor a minor mark or chip will not be a reason not to purchase. Even if you’ve never considered collecting take a moment to visualise how great your bathroom could look if you finished it with collectable plates with a maritime or nautical theme!
