Just a thread about collectibles and antiques since there wasn't one already. IO went through my room to clean it. Found some cool stuff.

I found a huge set of 1st season pokemon cards. With it I had about 25 holographic cards and three special addition pokemon movie cards. None of these cards can be bought now (except on ebay). I'm looking at a lot of money right now. But I'll wait until I'm older to find out.

My family also found some old 20 dollar coins in our dead grandfathers house. We are saving them till later ^^

I have a lot of old Pokemon cards as well...

Lessee... I have... Wow, I don't have any really valuable...

Wait a mornite!

[BionicleFanboy] I have a Vahi, and no, not the cheap Gold kind that they released in '04 as a promotion for the Vahki, but the original orange kind that they gave away at Walgreens in '01. I also have a Silver Krana-Kal, one out of two thousand or so existing in the entire Universe! [/BionicleFanboy]

God. Youngun's.

I have a ton of Beta, Revised and 4th edition Magic the gatehering cards

Oh, I also have a pece of Israeli Rock inscribed "Dead Sea Scrolls Traveling Exhibit 2007" or something like that. Or, at least they claimed it was Israeli.

I don't have much in the way of antiques.

I probably have some two and a half thousand dollars worth of Warhammer stuff from various games tucked around the place, though.

i have a 1950's barbie and midge case

and thats about it

I wonder if the old Sega Genesis is considered antique.

nahhh

too many people still have working versions of them

mine still works :-D

How bout the original nintendo? Or original Gameboy (has both)

I have a skelleton key, kinda worthless and no sentimental value but it's cool, a molded glass frog, made by one of my relative's in-laws, forgot exactly where, and a crapload of old floppies that my dad still has, only place you'd find a broken copy of Pong in my city.

im not sure on those

the oldest systems that i have are the SNES and SEGA genesis

both of which still work

i think my bother has our original gameboy. i know i have the cartridge that allows you to play gameboy games on the SNES, but that is about it

My friend has the original, still-working Commodore 64...

Some how Commodore 64 alway reminds me of this group:

God, but we will take that stuff to the grave with us wont we.


Yeah, i gots them both working too. Which reminds me, i havent played duck hunt in a while.

--------------------------

For me i have a bunch of old coins, and stamps, and cards, and fossils (antiques dont get much older), and.... OMG, i just realized im a pack rat.

I can't afford a pyramid so I'm settling for the next best thing.

Which is?

Sarcophagus?

Taxidermy?

Reincarnation?

Garbage bag and hole in backyard?

Telling would ruin the surprise.

I've got a first edition Warhammer 40K set. God, 1st edition rules. How I miss them.

The most valuable thing I have is a first edition printing of Treasure Island (and no, you cant have it)
Apart from that a couple of swords, but I dont think they're that valuable... ooh, also a huge collection of National Geographics, Popular Science, TIME, and last but not least... MAD.

Also forgot to add that my cousin has Marvel VS. Capcom for the PS2... and I have the strange suspicion that he also has the original Marvel Super Heroes.

I just remembered i have like all of the old teddy ruxpin books, tapes and the doll with his worm friend. Dont know if they are worth anything but they are definitely going to my kids.

My kids get all of my Myth-Adventures books. First Editions. My dad gave me his old ones when i was a kid and I've kept em so I could give em to my kids.
