underthebigw Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Cartoon and Comic Character Glasses. I have about 1000, my favorites of which are easily my DC Superhero Pepsi prototypes from the 1970's (it's great having a Superman item which is only known to have 3 copies in existence) and early Looney Tunes glasses from the 1930's (my most recent acquisition was a previously unknown glass promoting the early short, "Porky's Big Express"). The LT glasses are incredibly rare and even most LT collectors don't know they exist. Check out my site for some examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecomicsheet Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Science fiction monthly magazines. Have a run of Fantasy & Science Fiction from the 60s up to the present. Also an (almost) complete run of Asimov's from when it started in the 70s until now. Between these, comic books, and other books I overflowed all the closets in the house. My wife made me rent a climate controlled storage shed to store some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterlingcomics Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 My dad is showing me the ways of the collecting force with baseball cards, money and tobacco tags...but I'd say our love for each other's hobbies are mutually exclusive. If he only knew the power of the comic side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 of spades Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 And NY Mets Baseball cards. i collected cards as a child - from about 1987-1990. NYMets were the team, and Dwight Gooden was the MAN! ! actually - only until recently (last yr or so) - found an auction on ebay. got gooden's two 1984 update cards (fleer and topps tiff) together with his other 1985 RCs for like $8. couldn't believe it. first time in over 10 yrs i buy cards, and i get my two holy-grails. up until then - as a 10 yr old collector - i had never even SEEN EITHER of them. and all of a sudden i had them. kinda odd feeling. cause yes - the search was over, but it was over so "easily" - and the passion wasn't quite there anymore - but it still meant something. so i still have them. i still have all my cards - i imagine if i sell my card collection - i'll still keep those two cards though. but - very cool to get them so cheap. they used to book for over 100 apiece. other stuff - all at some point in my life coins stamps rocks used lottery-tickets currently - vivian hsu stuff (don't think anyone here would know her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleCovaBrotha Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Money bicentenial quarters actually. Fun looking through the spare change for those drummerboys! Timely Same here, . Also happen to collect those $2 bills. I like to pick up any funky coins that come through the bank that I work at. I am not actively buying any bills or coins, but I have come across a couple hundred wheat pennies from the early 1910's, a 30 or 40 walking liberty half-dollars, a couple buffalo nickels, and even found a silver dollar that dated back to 1893 once.

COI Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The last thing I need is another hobby digging into my wallet. Surprisingly, girls aren't interested in what grade my ASM #39 is in, especially when it means sacrificing a fancy meal for Burger King. It only works a couple of times before you end up getting Jr. Whoppers hurled at your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingDonut Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hmmmmm.... 1. Perez FF art. Just getting into buying some, big thanks to board member Heartened for passing me to the right people. 2. 1970s Mead superhero stuff. Strange, weird things that sell for nothing - folders, cups, posters, etc. 3. Old postcards of Barrington, Illinois (my home town). They pop up every now and then on eBay, stuff from 1910. Totally bizarre that my little (pop. 10,000) town would have postcards made about it, especially old stuff. and of course, Visa slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 of spades Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 some people collect first-edition books check this out James Joyce out. interestingly enough - the description implies the book has increased value because it is "Pristine and UNRESTORED." not just in comics are there PLODs...
