What Color?

When people start collecting depression glass that is one of the first questions they ask. I don't blame them, it can be tricky. The good news is that there are so many colors to choose from, instead of getting frustrated and not knowing what color you want to start collecting, don't put emphasis on it and just start collecting. That's it. Just start getting what color you run into, end up getting a good deal on, or just prefer. If another color of depression glass comes along then you should value that as well. It's that simple.

It's definitely a small form of irony on a small scale that during the depression the worst colors, by popular opnion based on how they reacted, become more obsolete but now because they are more rare they are the more valueable collectors items. Depression glass for the win!
