My Collection

[AcIdC0R3]

It seems everyone is showing off their setup or game room of what-have-you. My Game room is enormous and I'll show it one day. I'm just not ready yet, plus I'm remodeling and repainting the house so It'll be a while. I've showed you all my projects and stuff. Like my computer rigs and sleeving projects but it's just not the same.

In the mean-time I'll show you all my movie and memorabilia room. I wasn't going to show this before because I thought it was a little over the top. Plus, I didn't want anybody thinking I was weird or something for collecting collectibles but after seeing Tiki with his I started to change my mind. So, I started taking pictures. I guess you can say I'm a fanatic when it comes to Aliens, Predator, Star Wars and LOTR. There's way too many to show on here so I'm providing a link to my album. :o

lol i think anyone who collects stuff like that is weird...
stuff like that never goes up in value, it only has personal value.
sure it goes up a few bucks or two, but rare coins or baseball cards can SKYROCKET in price.

For example, ive had a signed John Stockton picture(high school basketball and college) for about 10 years.
It would have been worthless then, but each pic is worth more than $200
I also have signed Michael Jordon commemorative card, that then would have only been $200 or $300, but now got for over $2k

I can see why you collect them, as a fan.
TBH I like your movie collection more :p

My dad collects Smokey the Bear memorabilia...and man is it creepy ugh...

[AcIdC0R3]

Uhhh, I think you're misinformed. I have a book that shows that they are already increasing in value. 10 to 20 years they will be worth a fortune.

lol no sorry.
Everyone thinks that what they collect will be worth a fortune.
but there are several things you havent considered.

They will be of high value in books, but think about it.
People want mint condition in a mint condition box never opened.
then even if you had that, who will buy it?
just because it will be worth money doesnt mean you will be able to find a buyer.
You might spend a few years just trying to sell one item.

In a perfect world i will sell my cards for a tonnnns of money in one fell swoop, with no effort just because a book told me the value.

[AcIdC0R3]

The book just tells me what it's worth at this time and what it's estimated worth will be in 10, 20 and 30 years. I've had memorabilia already sell for a fortune and I had no trouble finding a buyer. Finding buyers is the easy part. Look up information on collectibles and you'll see that it profits a ton of money.

lol ok then.
have fun finding a buyer in 30 years for something no one but your generation remembers :/
Ugh i dont even want to know what star wars will be like in 30 years *shudders*
they need to stop changing things before it gets worse :/


I think i phrased everything wrong acid.
I like the collection.
I just dont think the whole "MY COLLECTION WILL BE WORTH A FORTUNE IN 10 YEARS" thing is correct.
sure everything goes up in value but its not going to be "worth a fortune"

I didn't mean a fortune. But, worth a lot of money though. I have sold quiet a few collectibles and have made a small mint at what they were worth. First generation Star Wars collectibles are worth a lot of money to a seasoned collector.

lol ok, I thought you meant you were making serious money off them, and I just couldnt take that seriously :p
again acid, I came off the wrong way. my bad.

[AcIdC0R3]

Nobodies fail. I just worded myself incorrectly. :)

[fr8cture]

i think its a cool collection and it really was nothing to start a fight over

[AcIdC0R3]

I actually don't like to sell my collectibles. I know that's weird for a collector but I like my things. LOL

[AcIdC0R3]

No fight. I just came off the wrong way. All is well. :D

How is that weird for a collector to not sell his stuff.
Its there to appreciate.
I would never think about selling my guns or cards, they will be passed down my family for a few gens.
maybe not the cards, but the guns are family possessions.

[AcIdC0R3]

I only have two handguns. There pretty nice actually. Nothing a collector would be interested in but hey, I like going to the range and firing off a few. :)

I always enjoy going to the range and firing my guns, its kind of a relaxer after a hard week.
My dad and I would go to the range every once in a while.
My dad and I collect mostly Rifles and Shotguns, not too much else.
no bows or pistols, or knives for that matter.

Lol, when I was young i collected comic books, hoping to sell them and make a fortune when I matured. Right now, I have about 1500 of them sitting in my garage.:)

Daaaamn I have a total of 43 comics lol I just started getting into the whole comic book thing about a year ago. I'm enjoying the brightest day story so far!

[AcIdC0R3]

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 comics and most have been CGC graded and have been vacuum sealed for preservation. I just pulled this one from a box on the floor.

I'm a big Hulk fan too. I also have X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Silver Surfer, DareDevil, actually I have a whole lot of everything. I collect my comics for collecting purposes only. I never read them because once the binder is bent it decreases in value quiet a bit. I send them off to have them graded and vacuum sealed.

[Tiki Tillman]

That is down right sexy! How do I go about getting them graded and seal Acid? Wow that's really nice! Mine are all in bag and boards lol, but I do read mine... :rolleyes: Maybe I should buy 2 of everything next time I go to the comic book store!

[AcIdC0R3]

To get them graded go HERE (http://www.cgccomics.com/). Actually a lot of people buy two just for that very reason.

[Tiki Tillman]

How much is the grading about because I have a Machete Photo Incentive #0 never messed with I want to get it graded. The only problem is I don't know or understand the process in getting it done.
