Shiny Object Syndrome (S.O.S.)

David and Ryan are back with another topic from Scott Brown's Downtown Brown book-collecting newsletter. But this one translates directly from collecting books to collecting props. Scott states, "Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS) is the best description I’ve heard for the magpie sensibility of most booksellers. The accumulation of pretty things is essential for our businesses, and most of us struggle to rein it in." Swap "businesses" for "collections" and "booksellers" for "prop hounds" and you have yourself a topic! The guys were both individually inspired by this topic which has wide-ranging implications across all collecting avenues and they felt it worthy of an hour of discussion. So tuck in and enjoy--and thanks again to Scott Brown for the great topic (and episode title!)
