Glazer, whose gallery offers antique globes ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars compares investing in globes to that of stocks. “You pick a globe and guess its value and where it will go,” says Glazer.<\/em><\/p>\n
“Globes are rapidly increasing in value almost before my eyes; however, the globe market isn’t as efficient as the stock market.”<\/em><\/p>\n
Glazer advises globe collectors and investors to buy the best quality globe for the money. For a collectible antique globe, expect to pay at least $400 to $500. For $2000, you can purchase a significant piece. For a rare globe as much as $8,000. “As with any investment, you should buy in good condition, educate yourself on the subject, price the market and compare the merchandise,” says Glazer.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It’s an unusual object in that it has content, like a piece of artwork or a book.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
