The 5 Golden Rules
     1. Rarity
     Only invest in collectibles where there are a small number of surviving
     examples or in unique pieces                                                   Trust


     2. Condition                                                                 Quality
     Only invest in the best quality examples in existence

     3. Authenticity                                                            Expertise
     Ensure authenticity can be proven – a certificate is only as good as the
     person or body issuing it. Seek items with documented history and          Longevity
     provenance.

     4. Liquidity
     Only invest in areas where there is a healthy number of collectors

     5. Price
     Classic value investment principle – seek to buy at below fair value
