Gotta have it!:
By MELODY PARKER, Courier Arts / Special Sections Editor
"Most people collect the childhood their parents couldn't afford,' Jackson says. 'These are people who collect the tin battery-operated robots from the '50s and are willing to pay top dollar for primo examples of Barbie and GI Joe dolls. They have the desire to own them and the means to buy the things they didn't have as kids.'

Sixties and '70s vintage funkadelic and disco pieces --- from furniture to clothes and yes, even the glitter ball --- are highly sought-after in today's market. Other hot collectibles include advertising signs, decorative cookie jars, clocks, stoneware, transfer ware, Roseville pottery, McCoy pottery, Depression glass, tea pots, quilts and art glass."
