Excellent information--I imagine you'd have to really know your stuff to do well (and avoid being scammed) when it comes to collectibles.

Oh, I have a tiny metal and wood harmonica from occupied Japan. Bought it in a NYC toy store, which has since gone out of business. The owner was able to play classical musical on it, even though it can only play four notes.
