But, he does have them all under appropriate lock and key/combo, not displayed on the walls. He does have his extensive baseball cap collection on display in our spare room though. I collect gargoyle statues, have a few gothic/punk fairies, and enough wine glasses and beer steins to open a restaurant, lol. We all have our things.

I've also collected things in my past - Beatles memorabilia in the 70s and 80s. Fiestaware now (just because I enjoy the colors - I don't buy the old vintage pieces, I just buy it at Macy's or Kohl's when it's half off). Collecting is not a bad thing, as long as it's done realistically and because one enjoys the items - it's when one starts thinking of it as an investment is where it starts turning to crap.

If you want to take a picture of what is on your wall or shelves, turn off the tv. At first I thought what was on screen was a weird map of where Mariah lived and she was daring people to come to her house so she could fight them. Alas, I need more caffeine. I thought she looked okay in the last picture. Her hair looks greatly improved, but the leaning against that brick wall as a backdrop --especially with the reflection in the window--detracts from the better impression she might otherwise have made. I can't really tell about the shape of the dress as it resembles an oversize tee shirt. The sleeves look tighter than I prefer. I like the fabric pattern well enough---especially for Independence or Memorial Day. I would probably prefer to break up the pattern with a red or white belt and wear red and white sandals instead. 2 Link to comment

Ahh thanks! Yeah, considering it an investment is foolish - it's a crapshoot. Ebay has made collecting easier and has cheapened the value of many things. It always makes me laugh when a seller puts "hard to find" in their item description, when there's five more of the same item listed. Plus, what's really popular now may not be so hot in 10 or 20 years. Reminds me of my mother, who collected Beauty & the Beast memorabilia for years. She actually had a room we all called the Beauty & the Beast room that was filled with stuff on display, everything from pencils, soaps, and mugs to figurines and a very expensive 3D shadow box. She always told us it was our inheritance and to not fight over it, lol. Well, she was considering selling some stuff and had us look online to see what the going price was, and was disappointed to find out that her collection wasn't worth quite as much as she'd hoped. 4 Link to comment

DakotaJustice July 17, 2019 Share July 17, 2019 An acquaintance of mine owns a sports memorabilia shop - people trying to unload collections who have been unsuccessful on eBay etc finally come to his store and are shocked to discover he will only pay at best half of Beckett's unless someone brings in something truly rare. The thing a lot of people don't get is that the real value is stuff from pre-1970 - because most of the baseball/sports cards got trashed when the kids grew up and their moms threw all that stuff out, or they were damaged from having rubber bands wrapped around them for 40 years, for example. In the late 80s Costco was selling complete boxed sets of Topps cards, people bought dozens of them to save in their closets or whatever thinking they'd be worth a fortune 25 years later, however it doesn't work quite that way. 6 Link to comment

That’s not including her retail sales which would again likely be good due to being a known personality with fans who’ll lap up her crap.

Yeah absolutely. There’s been more than a few headlines I’ve seen of dimwit people getting impaled by these replica type things. Once they reproduce (shudder) they’d surely have to grow up and get rid of them, as that is a major safety risk if they fell off or were pulled off by a curious child. Also @TurtlePower I’m very embarrassed that you highlighted a glaring grammatical error of mine I didn’t notice until now (hangs head in shame).

This was around lunchtime and since it's Thursday I'm guessing FT was at work. Truely will probably gain 5 pounds while she's at Chez Tokelti. 2 Link to comment
