This week’s assignment from the League over at Cool and Collected is :Blank check. Here’s a blank check, now head over to the Profiles in History Dreier Collection auction and buy something nice for the cave. Im not a prop collector and have no interest in the field but that didnt stop me from spending some free fake money. Luckily 4 out of the 5 items I bought are things that I have looked into buying for real so the choice was easy ..as for the 5th thing ...well that was a 30k impulse buy.

Rediscover the 80s
Ha! A $30k "impulse buy." Wouldn't that be nice.
ReplyDeleteI tell you, those Mars Attacks cards are awfully tempting.
These days a even $30.00 impulse buy makes me think twice.I would love that set of Mars Attacks card ,I have 4 original to the set that came out of a lot of random poor condition cards on ebay and I have pretty much given up on completing that set.
DeleteI have the reprint and the 80's series as well as other Mars Attacks!! stuff
ReplyDeleteand thanks for joining us at the "Crypt".....
Cool Blog that you have here...
Thanks! Your blog is truly awesome and its always nice to come across interesting people from NC. I have the 80's set also but to me nothing is better than a vintage item that beat the odds and lasted to today in perfect shape.
DeleteSome excellent choices!
ReplyDeletethanks! Iv been fighting off the urge to buy more Pez Dispensers for over a year now and looking at the great ones in that catalog is causing my Pez Dispensers addiction to start itching again.
