"I was visiting the Antiques & Collectors Fair at Westpoint, Exeter in 2007 when I came across a stall selling signed memorabilia (it was Steve Warner, The Autograph Collection - AD#44) & I purchased a Millvina Dean signed & mounted display . On another date later the same year I visited Westpoint again & Steve was there again.
We got talking & I wondered if he needed an extra pair of hands to help run the business.........unfortunately Steve thought not. However, I thought to myself 'I can do this. I'd love it!'
Due to having a full-time job & little funds I had to put my stock together gradually over the following years. I was eventually in a position to launch my website in January 2016 & I got approval to join AFTAL in the February of the same year. In January of 2018 I also obtained a glass cabinet in a local Antiques Centre (Wadebridge Antique Centre, Jubilee, Road, Wadebridge. PL27 7AT) to further sell my wares......these wares cover Sport; Movies; TV; History and Music.
I change my stock at the Antique Centre every 7-10 days and try to make it appropriate to that moment in time i.e. a Movie release or Sporting Event happening."
