stuff you have collected

[Mjolnir]

Forgot about the Comic Book thing. I actually got into that briefly, and grabbed all the good X-Men comic books, the first ones and the exclusive ones. Still have those somewhere. Probably missed the "hot" boat on that one.

couldn't agree more, unless you really lnow what your doing and can buy really good ones from people who don't know shit, your wasting your money. If you buy from people who dont know shi then you feel guilty.
I'm sure it's like almost all collectibles.

[DOGS THAT BARK]

--back about 30 years ago when gold peaked at $850 I happen to be off for about 6 weeks for model change @ Chrysler. I had aquaintance that set up shops at hotels -buying gold and silver from public. I worked for him during the 6 weeks off and on silver end of it had some people bring in entire coin collections in books-mostly kids and probably stolen--we always had off duty police on scene as security and some lookeda little rattled.

I purchased several dozen like this during the six weeks and my friend allowed me to go through books and keep any I thought to be rare. An addition perk -most these collections had books with nickles and pennies. I calculated only the value of silver in collections I bought and therefore got all the pennies and nickles for free-which I was allowed to keep also.

I'm not sure how many I have but you better have chair close by when you take saftey deposit box out as I'm guessing weighs near 100lbs.

One interesting note per coins and gold is not one gold coin was brought in the entire time--almost all rings and necklaces.

--another note on security -Was in Demoines Iowa and guy can in with ski mask on (was cold out) off duty police guy stood up and had hand on gun but never asked guy to take off mask and never said a word to him--which I thought quite unusual. Guy took ring off finger-got price but wouldn't sell it and left. My guess -had officer not been there things would have got interesting.

Finnish stamps&letters before 1900, oldest are from year 1660. Not been very active with these lately. When currency changed to ?uros prices skyrocketed and nobody is bying or selling.

Rock posters, Rolling Stones mostly, Bill Graham and Rick Griffin posters lately. -90's posters are well available but from -80's and before are getting rare and best ones difficult to get.
I don't think prices have changed much but they will rise sharply when this depression ends...

And i'm not talking about folded with magazine crap posters but actual concert posters with date and location.

I'm looking for RHCP, Tool & grunge-era posters...

1st Edition Books and thousands of Golden and Silver Age Comics. I haven't had the comics graded and probably never will.

Baseball cards (remember no sets then you had to buy the bubble gum packs) have every card by team from 1957-1964. Have a great deal of Hopalong Cassidy and Lone Ranger stuff. Wonder how many millions of dollars of baseball cards moms have thrown way--heard many people say that.

Warren and Henry signed baseballs from 1956 braves team then in Milwuakee. E Banks from cubs. I was 14. A few old playboys with some interesting stars in full nude shots. Some coins and gold railroad pocket watchs. One from 1886. Two packer sign footballs 1962 and 1966. Both won at a drawing those years at our quarterback club dinner. I got a bunch of other stuff. But it,s just stuff. Like a ton of old 45, 33, & 78 records.

At last count I had 133 Steve Sax rookie cards put away in a safe deposit box for my children's college fund. Never a shortage of investors for these.

Those cards didn't drop in value like the newer ones but they still dropped. They were worth a fortune in the late 80's, early 90's.

Nice collection :0074

Pokemon cards - Beanie Babies & Precious Moments

just odds and ends here.

a poster advert for local close circuit show of the Marciano/Moore fight

I got couple dozen 78 rpms worth a few bucks a piece. But sound great!

odd things like this issue of Throat Culture devoted to the late Lester Bangs

Lester Bangs, interview excerpt reprinted in Throat Culture (with a vinyl flexi-disc, remember those?):

My responsibility as I see it as a critic is to help people who are buying the records to keep from hating my guts because they made a purchase that was really a piece of shit...every magazine loves to print reviews that say "This is wonderful," "This is great"....It becomes a facet of your grovy modern lifestyle. Well, fuck that shit! I don't want to be used like that just to sell product. I ain't a shill! If that means that you have to say everythings sucks, well, I don't know. I don't know where I can go having as bad an attitude as I do, but it's the only attitude that I think you can have.

You should check out that software. Once you get your collection, you just have to use that and it will catalog everything you have with latest estimates.

If you buy the accompanying bar code scanner, it's cake-work.

 

[Woodson]

Thanks guys for the info! :toast:

 

[Mjolnir]

Check this out for cataloging. My cousin has a shit ton of comics and other books. This made it a breeze!

Now I just gotta dig them out of storage. I think I have about 45 or so of those long white boxes full of comics.
