ABSTRACT
In this edition of Collections Corner you will learn how and why a couple of keywords added onto the description of an obscure Cannabis collectable can change its eBay auction result by hundreds of percent. Also explained is the history of the terms Nostrums and Quackery as the reader is taken on a tour of the collectables market as explained through the history of the Cannabis containing medicine of antiquity, Piso's Cure. The stuff we collect does reveal a lot about us. We make very sentimental decisions when we bid at auction. Stuff is like a touchstone to our past both collectively and individually.
