Oh, and I have his rookie card too ..." :)

Yeah rookie cards are important for the value of one's collection. I have probably every NHL rookie card available from about 1990 onward.

Prior to 90, my collection is all over the place. I got started with a set my uncle gave me from 1968/69. It isn't mint, but it's still nice to have in the collection.

Ah...it's so nice hearing about people who's Mom *didn't* throw their sports cards out. :)

My husband had his all tidily packed away...until his Mom "cleaned" when he left home for college. :(

The comic books went, too.

Next to hearing about someone getting kicked in the nuts, that's the second thing that makes me wince most. Ouch! :(

You're going to collect toonies? Why????

Sin 12-13-2005 04:42 PM

Re: So... do any of you collect anything?
 
Why not collect loonies too? There's plenty of those in abundance as well (and I don't necessarily mean the coin) lol

As much as I'm sure he'd like to.... You probably won't fit too well in the carry-on though

Pretty sure there won't be any need for a carry-on anytime soon once he gets here :)

But you're right, I'd probably fit better on his lap.

Thanks for the suggestion btw.

Sin 12-13-2005 04:59 PM

Re: So... do any of you collect anything?
 
However will you choose? There's so many!

Bhelliom 12-13-2005 05:02 PM

Re: So... do any of you collect anything?
 
I'm sure I could come up with a series of tests to decide which one.

Sin 12-13-2005 05:05 PM

Re: So... do any of you collect anything?
 
Gotcha.

Kinda like an MMPI?

I have a fairly large vinyl collection, around 2500 LPs and 12" singles and 5,000 45s. I don't collect them, they are from my days in radio and were used. No idea what to do with them now, never listen to them anymore.

I collect money. Or I guess I really collect numbers, the higher the number the better (on the bank account).

They don't make the real deal Meccano any more, it turns out that this stuff is worth a mint if sold right, most of the fuckers are selling grandads collection, but in bits, I'm looking at making 3 number 10 sets and they go for about £1900 UK per set ;)

Oh and my dads 8 and 9 set cost £791 in total. He'll be well made up :D

My mom threw my brother's comic books out as well. Well, she didn't actually do it, she told the cleaning woman to clean out the bottom of my brother's closet and she threw out the boxes. He was devistated.

Yep, it's all plastic these days - made in France. :(


The big sellers are the real deal (made in Liverpool) items, you can't go wrong, no plastic and the parts are stamped ;)
