Description
Most collecting mistakes don’t feel like mistakes when they happen.
They feel safe.
They feel familiar.
They feel justified.
The Hidden Risks of Collecting reveals where value is most often lost — not through obvious fakes or bad decisions, but through assumptions, blind spots, and risks that stay invisible until it’s too late.
This ebook is a calm, practical guide to recognizing the risks that quietly undermine even well-built collections — and learning how confident collectors manage them without fear or panic.
Designed as the third book in The Modern Collector’s Foundation Series, it completes the journey from understanding value, to acting with confidence, to protecting what you’ve built.
