With current debates at the fore, is it time then for a charter, standard or professional collecting body that if a member of, complies with a set of regulations or standards that people can choose to be part of or disregard at their own risk?
If such regs or standards are breeched, it can then be investigated by said body in order to establish facts, reports and form a conclusion?
Members, organisations and events can then sign up to such a charter, standard or body in order to provide some level of assurance that vintage items are governed by a form regulatory body that is made up of informed, experienced and ethical personnel that at the core want to promote and protect the pastime and its future.
Members get a voice, buyers and sellers understand the standard to adhere to and a body voted for to represent and uphold the values determined by its membership?
Is it time for the UK collectors to lead the protection of the pastime for future generations?
Preservation committees, ethic boards, buying and selling governance and education and assistance - all under one over arching form?
Too serious or an emerging requirement?
