Yeah I got back into collecting more for Hattie three years ago (?) My parents kept our collections in their basement, and I pulled it out of storage a few years back to look on prices. Most are worthless, but wow, some had some significant value. Sadly, my brother and I read these things over and over since the late 80's/early 90ls, so the grade wasn't very good on most.
My thought was (with maybe no agreement from Liza - lol) that I would start to target some cool books with art, characters, "key issues", etc for Hattie to have when she gets older. It's analog, and who knows what analog will mean in a 15 years at this rate. So maybe she will have some "art of value collection" going in the future.
This one of course...maybe not so much for the Hattie collection, but I coudln't pass it up. It just had a look to it that I appreciated it. It's up almost 80% too - look out, who needs Bitcoin!?
I think it's a good idea to be honest...I mean who knew all those years ago that a simple baseball card cold be worth thousands several decades later? Also, I like the analogue comment...I htink the special people will know what that means in years to come, the privileged. No different to people who value history now I guess. Fortunately I'm one of them.
Nice work mate...Also, gave you a follow...Thought I had already, but must have had a blonde moment. :)
I agree with you on the analog thought. History and the appreciation of it are definitely dying. Liza bought me a record player a few years ago, and I've been gobbling up vinyl to play for Hattie. She loves to hit the start button, watch the needle slowly crank down, and then wait for the music to start up. Easily one of the best bday presents ever!
Thanks for the follow! I definitely appreciate the correspondence with you - it's fun to actually "converse" with someone consistently on Hive.
If the weather stays somewhat good this weekend, I should have a fun little daughter/dad adventure to share...I spent a good hour or two on Newspapers.com researching it during lunch today. Locations figured out and a trail set to follow; now we just need to get outside and get some photos of the adventure. Pioneer days, here we come...
Weekend adventures are always something to look forward to so I hope it happens! I look out for the post.
I had a record player back in the day, I think I got rid of it around 1992 or so...I've still got the records though. Van Halen's 1984 was the first vinyl I bought...Still have it. 😉
Wow, that was a classic album; that and Duran Duran dragged me into the dawn of MTV back in the day. Uh oh, I'm starting to feel old this morning...
Haha...Get that calculator out and punch some numbers...That'll make you feel young and alive once more!
