For the past 25 years, Joseph Betters has dedicated much of his time building a personal collection of art and antiques. Even as a young child, Betters loved collecting things like coins, stamps, and cool rocks he found in the backyard. Today, his collection has expanded to items like glassware, clocks, old car parts, toys, signs, Coca-Cola bottles, jewelry, and more.

Much of his inspiration for collecting comes from watching great antique collectors on the History and Discovery channels on TV shows like American Pickers, Pawn Stars, and Auction Kings. Betters also enjoys going out to local flea markets to meet with and speak to other collectors while searching for new treasures to add to his collection.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joseph Betters has become a huge Pittsburgh Pirates fan. He has followed the team since he was a kid, going to games and cheering them on through their ups and downs. One of his favorite players of all time is Hall of Famer Robert Clemente, a right fielder for the Pirates for over 18 years. As a Pirates fan, Joseph Betters has also grown a collection of sports memorabilia related to the Pirates and Major League Baseball in general.

Joseph Betters continues to search for new ideas and items to add to his great collection. One day, he hopes to teach his grandchild the art of the trade and pass down his work for future generations to love and enjoy.
