SELLEST OSAST
I sat down with Dr. Shirley Mueller who is an internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain, as well as a physician board-certified in Neurology and Psychiatry.
Dr. Mueller is also the author of "Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play."
You will have a lot of fun and learn a lot after listening to this episode, just like I did.
