1. What do you collect?
2. How long have you collected it? 3. How far are you in your collection? 4. Where do you obtain most of your collectibles? 5. Is there a prized possession among your collectibles? (one very ultra rare item or something that holds a great deal of significance for you) |

I collect stills from Miracle On 34th Street
2. I've been collecting for 5 years 3. I'm at a frustrating point in my collection where its hard to find stuff I DONT' have. I know there are some photos I'm still missing but mostly everything I come across now, I already own so its at a slow pace. Right now I have over 200+ photos and counting. 4. Ebay, mostly. There's 2 sellers on there that deal in movie memorabilia that most of my collection has come from - jpthemint and photoarchive (he's from ct and i buy from him almost weekly. he has 34,000+ photos currently listed) . I've also collected from a dealer who owns a shop out in Hollywood. 5. The jewels of my collection are stills of deleted scenes and behind the scenes. |

2. At least 20 years 3. I have over 300 sets at last count, including cartoon character(Disney, Looney Tunes, Simpsons, superheroes), a bunch of travel ones that have cities and/or states on them, ALOT of food related shakers(like one is the salt shaker is a hamburger and the pepper shaker is an order of fries, or a milk shake) 4. Half the time in trinket stores, like Hallmark. I've found a few cool ones at flea markets, and there's alot of cool ones in catalogs(Betty's Attic, What On Earth, etc) 5. Probably the 1st one I ever bought, which started it all!! It's a white rabbit in a magician's hat. The rabbit is the salt shaker and the magician's top hat is the pepper, and the rabbit sits on the hat. |

1. What do you collect? Records, books, old film clips (TV shows, documentaries, newsreels, commericals, etc). I dont just collect them I watch them, and I listen to the records.
2. How long have you collected it? Most of my life 3. How far are you in your collection? Not far at all. Only about 500 or so 45's, roughly close to 1,800 albums. 4. Where do you obtain most of your collectibles? Wherever. Stores, online, fairs, flea markets, friends, 5. Is there a prized possession among your collectibles? (one very ultra rare item or something that holds a great deal of significance for you). Some of my records (according to the price guides), are worth in the hundreds. |
