Do you collect anything...memorabilia, anything you think may be worth $$$...etc. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 03-10-2007, 03:54 PM

I collect FAMILY GUY and I LOVE LUCY items. I mostly get ILL items because ILL is my all time fave show. I can watch it over and over again. The latest item I received was a small coin purse with Lucy and Desi on it. My daughter got it for me.

I would say it's my VHS collection of recorded TV sitcoms I have accumulated over the years. Most of it is alreay on DVD, but I guess these VHS tapes can be quite expensive.

TVFactFan · 03-10-2007, 04:38 PM

I collect anything connected to History. Just recently purchased a 1985 Philadelphia NewsPaper so I can read the horrible story on that day and so I can compare the 1985 Daily News to the 2007 Daily News. Yes I know, I'm a Geek-lol

I collect anything related to a movie called Killers Three It was a low budget movie from API that was filmed about 15 miles from where I currently reside. Everything I've got has come from Ebay. I recently acquired a signed photo of Dick Clark from the movie but it was damaged by the person that packaged the item then folded in half by the carrier.

Brad Russ · 03-10-2007, 04:57 PM

Nope, and I never have been a collector either. Everyone else in my family is, I just never found anything that I was excited enough about to collect.

catlover79 · 03-10-2007, 05:19 PM

My autograph collection...but I'm never going to give that up. I do wonder sometimes what it would be worth.

freshprinceofLA · 03-10-2007, 05:23 PM

some sports stuff a walter payton weaties cereal box, colts edgerin james bobble head, big hank aaron poster of him breaking babe ruth's record, dr. J poster, autographed basketball by kareem rush, slam magizines, and jersies I've worn. And also some sports cards and shoes.

Janice · 03-10-2007, 05:28 PM

I don't, but my husband has quite an extensive coin collection. I have no idea what it's worth now, but he's spent a load of $$ on it over the years.

tdf4077 · 03-10-2007, 05:45 PM

Well, I have my M*A*S*H autograph collection...not sure how much that's worth.

Then, I have a lot of original and 90's Star War's toys/collectibles. Some are still in their original boxes. A few have never been open.

But, perhaps my most valuable items are my JFK collection. I have several rather rare and hard-to-find things, and I know my Robert Rauchenberg (sp) original print of JFK is a decent value.

No your not. I have saved some newspapers on days where something significant occurred, a president dead, 9/11, etc. Other newspapers I saved merely to show my grandkids someday.

I also have collected MANY magazines that feature Madonna on the cover. From her early days up until she made Evita. Some are in their covers still. I won't part with them, I merely want to have them. I love Madonna. I also have a magazine with her posing in different fashions and in one layout she is topless. Something I didn't expect when I bought the fashion mag.

Maybe a Playboy mag, but not that mag.

I collect different Stewie (Family Guy) items just because. I love that guy!

The main reason I want to buy it because I remember the story shook me up at the age of 10 and I couldn't sleep for days. So I would like to read that exact same newspaper at 31 and just remember how I reacted 22 years ago-lol

Same here. Even though I don't really collect for value, I imagine some could be worth quite a bit.

Sounds like a good idea to have bought it. I see nothing wrong. I would rather have my paper than some other newspaper. For the same reason you said.

I have a large collection of books that gets bigger every year and a collection
of ceramic cats.
