old buttons still on their original fabric

[frogandtoad27]

Hi! I bought some buttons at a yardsale and have been selling them on ebay for a little over a month. I have two sets of buttons that are still sewn onto their original fabric. I have yet to see an auction listing where the buttons are still on the fabric. Does this fact make the buttons more valuable to a collector, or would they be more likely just to remove the buttons from the fabric and toss the fabric? Thank you for any information you can share with me. :0) Jen B

Hi Jen: Don't really think having buttons on the original fabric would be of interest to collectors who really only care about the buttons unless the fabric is someting special. It would be a unique way to show them if the buttons are cool though. Feel free to upload an image of the buttons on fabric to the photo album area here so we can see what they look like. I have to approve images but I'll check back to see if you were able to send an image to the photo album area, upper left of the page. -Carol C-
