Exactly, you just said it. 

Study the artists, evolve your taste, have conviction, collect with your eyes not your ears (meaning don’t listen to others). 

Saying that, we can’t not factor artworld context here. Current state of the market pressing down both collectors and artists. That’s a problem.

what do you think should be the takeaway here?

know what you like, have conviction and acquire accordingly?

That's an inspiring story! Herb and Dorothy Vogel's dedication to art is truly remarkable. Despite their modest means, their passion and commitment allowed them to build an extraordinary collection. Their story is a testament to the idea that you don't need immense wealth to contribute significantly to the art world.
