Collections
 

What do you collect?


I have an enormous collection of bottles, over 200 at this point. No repeats, all various kinds of liquor and beer, some still have booze in them. I have one that my grandmother in law gave me that is worth over $300.

I also have a HUGE collection of Magic The Gathering cards. i had a decent collection, and i had a frweind who also played that had thousands of them. He had been going out with my sister for years and kept them at our house. Anyway, they broke up, and i put them in my trunk for him to take. for 2 FUCKING YEARS i told him to take them back and he kept putting it off. Finally, we stopped hanging out and talking, so i kept them. i'm not sure what the value is, but with some o fthe rare cards, and the sheer number of them, it has to be between 3 and 10 thousand dollars (maybe i should find out...)

I also have a collection of cards for a game called "Netrunner". it was a MTG type game based on Cyberpunk 2020.

And i have cards for Jyhad, the forerunner to Vampire_the eternal strugglre card game. it only lasdted a couple of months because it was almost unplayable.

Man I have so much shit it is unreal...

Nascar stuff (diecast cars, cards models and all kinds of other shit)

Guns

DVD's

Comics

Action Figures

Vintage BMX bikes

Vintage guitar and bass effects stomp boxes

Baseball / football cards

i collect a lot of shit.

- around 5000 - 6000 albums/cds/tapes
- countless 1000s of books ..many of them rare and/or signed
- 200 mcfarlane toys .. still sealed
- 1000's of other movie/tv related toys
- A valuable stamp collection .. havent collected since i was a kid
- A so so coin collection ... i put interesting stuff away when i see it .. not very serious about it.
- movie memorobilia - posters, standees, presskits, etc

that might be it ...


- oops .. hockey and baseball cards .... about 50 binders worth

Back before i had a woman, i had a frighteningly large collection of internet porn....

close to 2 gigs of pictures alone. All big chested women. i really was a sad little nerd.

I would love to collect fossils, but i dont have the room or the money. Plus, i think fossils in general should be in a museum.

i dont belong in no god damn museum mother fucker !!

snot nose pecker head kid !

god dammit boy, if i was 20 years younger i'd whoop your sorry ass !!!

I'm not sorry, so you wouldnt whoop my "sorry" ass. :P


Old man :)

Isnt it funny, though, that the people i get along with best here are usually much older than me? Except cheeba, he's a youngin' :)

krpo is a year older than me so he is an old fart :D


I used to collect anything i downloaded from the internet. I had tons of movies i downloaded and never watched, tons of music i never listened, to. I deleted most of it. i figured if i had a movie or somg for 3 years and hadnt watched or listened to it yet, it was about time to get rid of it.

i keep everything i download .. burn it off to cds hundreds of games i've never played .. 1000s of mp3s i'm just listening to now ...
the movies were good but many were a waste as i replaced most of them with DVDs before i got a chance to watch them

Here are some pics of some of my action figure collection...

I still have around 300 or so that are still in the packages that are stored away in boxes, I just don't have enough room for all my shit.

HOLY SHIT.
I envy you:p

might i suggest lookingat Urg's gallery, if you want to see his gigantic shelves full of movies and stuff.

are those bmx trophies??

Yes, I raced for 11 years as a kid, and I just started racing again a little over two years ago.

I collected:

Baseball/Football cards

Comics: i worked in comic book store when i was a kid and i was paid in money and a free comic everyday. Punisher rules!! And I got huge collection of "Tales from the Crypt" comics.

I guess you can say I have a huge collection of videogames.

And now DVDs.

you obviously won a few ..

damn man .. all those toys ... my kid would be into every one of them ...

mint on card would become - used on floor :)

i also collect zwoti quotes ..

it doesnt take up much space

:D

LOL yeah Urge a few of them have become used on floor by my son also... I finally had to put a stop to him going in that room..:D


And yeah I won a shitload of races, I think I have close to 400 or so trophies from 81 through present day.

holy shit !


do you guys remember that milton bradly board game .. a dungeons and dragons type deal ...

there were tons of green and white plastic figures, furniture ..etc ..

they go for a fair buck on ebay ...

I bought one at a junk store to sell on ebay .. then i found another - same store months later .. mint !
the little green monsters, etc were still stuck to the plastic frames ..

a used one was worth aboyt $50 .. i'd never seen a mint one sold..

i get it home and two days later i find my kid, popping the figures out of the frame .. i could have cried ..

my own stupid fault though

grrr.......don't get me started on the beyond

hahahahah !! :D


just remember ..


2X in the gut, once in the head ...

repeat untill you run out of bullets :)

"Clean Sweep" would have a field day with you!:D

BAck in the early 90s, Venom (from spiderman) had his first solo series called "Lethal Enforcer" (or something to that effect).

I had a mint condition copy of the first issue i had just bought the day it came out (the series sucked, but i still have all of them). it was sitting next to me on the coffee table, and my mom put her drink on it like it was a coaster.

I glared at her and said "Mom... your drink?"

"What?"

"Mom, that comic cot me $3 and was worth 6 the second i paid for it...."

"oops, I'm sorry honey..."

it didnt leave any marks on it, but i made godamn sure my family didnt get anywhere near anything of value to me with food or drink....

LOL I had that happen also not with the board game but, when they re-released the original Star Wars trilogy in the movie theaters here when Jedi was released they gave away these limited edition Jedi Luke Skywalker figures on Limited cards to the first 50 people in the door, it was only like 10,000 of them nation wide they were listed for around $175 a piece last time I checked...Well thankfully I bought an extra ticket and got two of them cause my son got a hold of one of them and it was no longer "mint on card"

i have heard that from every person who has seen the house :)

LOL you have no idea, hell my garage is covered with a shitload of vintage BMX bikes and parts, my big ass ATV and tons of fishing rods and tackle...

You would probably cause Peter Walsh (the organizer) to have a massive coronary!:p

I'd give him more than that if he fucked with any of my stuff:D

:D :D :D :D

you'd better wear a diaper if you get to toronto and see inside my garage...

its all books ...and many of them are right up your alley

Now, im interested in checking the values of my collections.

I know I'm still planning on buying a bunch of the ww2 books and stuff you have.

Honestly Urge I bet mine and your house looks about the same as far as having collectible stuff everywhere.

you're way more organized though ..

LOL maybe so, my garage is total a mess though I have bikes sitting around everywhere, some half built that need to be finished with parts strowed all over the place , some lying around half done that I still haven't found parts for yet.
Just a big ass mess...

i have boxes and boxes of computer shit like that,

i'm just going to chuck it out or have a big garage sale in the spring - as muchas i hate holding those things

Two words for ya urge......well actually one letter and one word

E-BAY

You could make a ton of money.



and then send some to me.:D

i used to sell books on ebay .. i havent had the time in over a year now ...


it just takes solong to list .. and then the shipping.

i have about 300 - 400 VHS movies i might take out to the curb in the spring and see if i can get a buck a piece for them..

i'd probably get nothing for the computer junk..

Too bad Toronto's so far away. I'd love to pick through your movies and my nephew would pick through your computer junk.

I have a piece of meatloaf in my freezer that looks like the front of a 59 Edsel!

i LOVE going to garage sales .. but i hate having them...

i've got some amazing stuff .. its unbelievable what people want to get rid of ...

on the other hand i've been to many where i think people simply dump their garbage pails on the lawn and try to sell it

I feel the same way. I've had 2 yard sales and made a total of about 40 cents. But I love going to yard sales. Last year my sister and I went to a ritzy neighborhood that advertised a yard sale and all they had was really trashy looking stuff. I said to my sis you'd think there would be better stuff here, but you get better stuff in the lower income neighborhoods.

i never been to a garage sale. but my uncle raves about them bc he bought a 50 inch screen tv for 100 bucks and it works and everything... he also bought a computer for 100 bucks.. it wasnt the best but still damn good for price. And he buys a ton of videogames for like 5 bucks or less for his kids (XBOX games). And even a nice grill for like 20 bucks.
