1964 Charles of the Ritz PRINT AD Transluminant Lipstick Fun Vintage Bath Decor

Description: For the purpose of collectability of vintage advertisement and cover art it is important to remember that the condition is just one contributing factor to the overall value of a paper ephemera item. There are other factors to consider: Rarity - is how unusual or how easily replaced the item might be. Rarity increases value directly in proportion to the scarcity of the item. Was this item available one time and one time only? On the other hand, was it a part of an ongoing continuing advertising campaign that showed up repeatedly through the years?Unusual or Peculiarity – related to the above. Is there more than one copy readily available in the marketplace? Is this a one of a kind piece?Contribution – how does a particular item fit into a collection? If there are ten items in a particular collection – perhaps graded at a certain grade – may be worth more as a sum of the collection of ten than as each individual by itself.Sentiment - perhaps the most elusive quality of the piece. Seldom if ever an issue for strict speculators, but might be a big issue with collectors. Debatable if should be included as a ‘condition’.Marketability – Looks at the potential buyers available for a particular item. What has this item sold for historically, and what is the demand for this particular piece now? The internet and online auctions have changed the way we shop for a collect vintage advertisements and covers. In some ways, these new sales channels have decreased the marketability of the more ‘common’ items. On the other hand, the rarer and more collectible items now bring more buyers to the hobby or vocation. These conditions in turn could translate into more sales and a more uniform grading and archival system.Paper – paper type and acidity, color, and age is another factor to consider.
