Antiquity Markets
I have been investigating the uk antiquity market and have found some fairly significant findings. It turns out that antiques, collectables and memorabilia are actually almost as popular as art as a genre. There is as much traffic hitting uk art shops as there is hitting uk antique shops on the net. This is a turn up for the books as most people would consider art to be the more modern medium and primarily provide the most traffic. As it turns out Collectable art such as collectable comics score quite highly amongst collectables, followed shortly by more recent art and graffiti such as banksy collectables. Personally I usually opt for a more old type of collectable such as paintings or furniture - in fact I personally own a lot of antique furniture, but I suppose they come more under antiques than under collectables. Memorabilia comes in as third out of the three, providing just 1/3 of the traffic the other two each get - which might suprise all the sports cards and autograph collectors out there!
