“During the past four decades, Miller has seen the collectibles industry flourish. That growing interest, she says, has recently been fueled by easy access to items on the Internet and popular television shows like PBS’s ‘Antiques Roadshow.’

Nielson conducted for Country Home magazine and eBay. Eighty-five percent of respondents said eBay has made collecting easier and more fun.”
