Now that maps are completely obsolete (because of online digital earth imaging systems - or I believe they call this GIS) are they suddenly valuable on ebay?
Ironically, all the so called EXPERTS advise not to use eBay for buying maps. They say online is the wrong place to look at and buy old maps as there are so many reproductions of such excellent quality that its hard to be sure you are buying the genuine article.
This is an 1878 reproduction of Tiverton town map (its a little known Dumpdigger fact that the town's first dump was right underneath the 'T' in Tiverton.)
Dumpdiggers just crafted a post entitled Secrets to Collecting Antique Maps that's got mass information on the art of buying and preserving maps as investments.
Do you think antique maps are a good investment? Even if you can't buy and sell them online? Why?
