Welcome to the Collectors Site, your collecting hub!

The Collectors Site is intended to be a collectors hub for people interested in all types of vintage materials to gather and find information related to their favorite collectibles, antiques and memorabilia. 

old-magazines-for-sale.com old-magazines-for-sale.com
is my brand new online store (est. Nov. 2006).  Stocked old magazine back issues and vintage movie cards & collectibles available for immediate sale.

Or if you're just shopping for information be sure to check out my two informational sites:

Movie Stars and Collectibles at things-and-other-stuff.com Vintage Periodicals at collecting-old-magazines.com
Movie enthusiasts and collectors, click above to visit things-and-other-stuff.com, the comprehensive site about movie stars and movie collectibles from the Silent Cinema through the Golden Age.  I started this one in 2002 and the site now comprises over 500 pages!  Totally free! collecting-old-magazines.com is an entire site dedicated to old magazines!  Online since 2005 with the goal of presenting a comprehensive magazine site similar to my movie site at the left.

Message from Cliff Aliperti, January 2007: Welcome back to the updated Collectors Site.  The goal here is to both provide a hub to my other sites as shown above, but also provide a valuable source to other collector sites -- no link farm here, in fact, I don't accept links from other sites on the Collectors Site (though recommendations are fine).  Besides my own collecting sites the others found here are valuable sources of both information and collectibles that I've come to visit over and over again throughout the years.  The Collectors Site has slowly been growing since September 2005.

Attention all Collectors:  I came across What A Collection.com a couple of years ago and I love the site concept and it was a pleasure exchanging e-mails with Ron.  The site allows collectors to show off their collections.  Just go to the home page, click on Browse/Search Collections and you'll find everything from Dolls and World's Fair collections to Movie Posters and Archie Comics.  Collectors post profiles, describe their collections, mention what they're currently searching for, and then share their collections with text and accompanying photos.  It's really one of the best ideas I've seen for a site in a long time and it's executed perfectly.  Head over and check out some of the collections, or even better, join and share your own collection!

Baseball Card Collectors: For baseball card collectors specializing in vintage materials, Old Cardboard is the place to go.  They have a comprehensive web site loaded with checklists and have been publishing a beautiful print magazine for about a year now.  I don't even do much with sports collectibles anymore, yet I'm a charter subscriber and plan to renew indefinitely.  They now accept PayPal as a payment method for your subscription.  Believe me, their magazines are keepsakes, great sources of information regarding rare 19th and 20th century baseball cards with tons of illustrations.

Shop for Collectibles:  Here are a few places where you can go shopping from a wide variety of dealers.  Leading things off quite obviously with the top dawg:

And following that up with links to some of the more popular online shopping malls for antiques and collectibles:

TIAS
GoAntiques
Ruby Lane

I've sold on those of those sites above and shopped from all three and can say for certain you're going to run into some of the most professional dealers around on all three of them.

Here's the top spot to locate rare books, and yes, I have purchased old magazines over here as well:
 
 

If it's information you're after here's the best place to go to hear about the latest news from the world of e-commerce -- and if you subscribe to their newsletter you'll receive updates on eBay news usually as quick as it's released:
AuctionBytes

That's it for now, I'll come back from time to time and add more sources.  Up next will be some of my favorite sites and stores run by individuals.
