Collectibles - Hobby or Investment?

Traditional Saturday meeting of WOA’s English speaking club "Gabfest" (Dnipro, Ukraine) was dedicated to a popular US hobby – collecting. The Club members were introduced to the list of popular US collectibles. They were offered two points of view on collecting – a pastime and a long-time investment. Both opinions were illustrated with the YouTube videos. Among the mentioned collectibles were shopping coupons, toys, vintage porcelain, Coca-Cola paraphernalia and many others.
The Club’s Ukrainian activist Galyna Drozd showcased her collection “Dogs”. It included dog toys, calendars with dogs’ images, magazines about pet dogs.
 

This afternoon the session was attended by WOA Dnipro’s US volunteer Mrs. Tamara K. She added a lot of interesting details about collecting in the USA and introduced several idiomatic phrases about collecting. The atmosphere at the session was warm and educative. After the official session Mrs. Tamara volunteered extra time to have a Q&A activity with the Club’s activists.
Participants number – 33 persons.
