I totally LOVE my Yugioh LOB 1st Ed. Uncut Ultra Rare sheet.
Plus, of the three known to exist mine is the BEST condition. My boy Rusty has the second best one which I want but he won’t give it up:( The third one I sold to a Euopean collector.
Here’s what it looks like:
This is a great bookend to my 1st base Pokemon sheets (which are my second favorite Pokemon collectible next to my Charizard lot)
I don’t really have a favorite single-item collectable that I appreciate more than another… While I am a HUGE FAN of the WotC-Era Pokemon Cards; my true “collector passion” lies within U.S. Coins and Currency (to a lesser extent). My Dad has always been into coin collecting (since he was 9); however, I never got into the hobby until he opened his first retail store-front back in 2007. Since opening his retail store-front, I have spent countless hours working alongside him. In doing so, I have learned A LOT about U.S. Coins / Currency!
Shortly after opening in 2007, I started my first coin-collection (1932 to 1998 Washington Quarters). Once I started into the Washington Quarters, the “coin-bug” really hit me! Fortunately, having my Dad run a retail store-front meant that I was able to pick-through coin collections before they hit the shelves and purchase what I needed at his cost - but then again, I basically work for free (slave-labor) LOL Anyway, I began branching-out my collection and currently collect:
Wheat Cents
Lincoln Memorial Cents
Buffalo Nickels
Jefferson Nickels
Mercury Dimes
Roosevelt Dimes
Washington Quarters
Statehood Quarters
Morgan Silver Dollars
Peace Dollars
Proof Sets
Mint Sets
Silver Eagles
AND MORE!
While I really enjoy my Pokemon Card Collection; my Coin Collection means a lot more to me simply because it is something my Dad and I do together!
I like pedigree original owner comic books, as not only are the comics in very nice shape but they usually have an interesting history, e.g. Twin Cities pedigree is a collection of a man who tragically died in a house fire but miraculously all his high grade comics survived.
Would have to say my boxed copy of AUS Coded Paper Mario, We owned this game when I was a child, but the box and manual eventually got thrown out. It’s my favourite game and the fact that it had a limited release in Australia due to being at the end of the N64’s life makes it cooler.
I was at my local vintage game store and told them my box got thrown out when i was a child, and they said thats bad luck because one just sold at auction on ebay for X amount, I said yeah I know I won that auction haha
I was about to instinctively respond with something Yu-Gi-Oh, but then I remembered my shotglass collection that I’ve travelled the world to collect. The Hard Rock Cafe subset too…
As much as I like my children’s trading cards, I think I value these a lot more. You can’t find most of these on eBay.
