At its core map collecting is a matter of the heart and a collection pays dividends in the form of intangible benefits: enjoyment, satisfaction, pleasure and beauty. Maps purchased wisely do appreciate in value over time. Some maps have increased in value like allegorical and political maps of the 20th century, while others have decreased in value. So called 'norms' are often broken when you least expect it. With antique prints its much the same, similar rules apply. A scarce sought after set of prints in good condition will likely demand a higher price. What will be their value ten years from now? |
