Your most prized possession

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I've recently added to my bass rig, thus making even more prized to me. Second place goes to my grandfather's shotgun which I'm due to inherit from my dad. It has a gold trigger, and has ended three lives.

It's surprising to learn, but you can't defibrillate someone with a shotgun.

And FrigidSoul, don't listen to them - never open those packages, because someday, you'll prove them wrong, and all you'll be hearing during your days is the chirping of birds while you sit and relax, staring out along the river with a cigar in your mouth, a beverage of choice next to (or in a holster of) your chair, and a rod in your hand, as you relax, and think about what got you there.

Nobody told him to open them, you dumb fuck. He shouldn't. That doesn't mean he's going to buy a cabin with $20 worth of toys.

I know that - but if he thinks that they are worth nothing, he may not be able to resist the temptation of opening them and playing with them.

I wonder what my complete set of 1979-1980 (sans gretzky rookie card) hockey cards is worth in fair condition nowadays.

Eh, they're not much fun anyway. I've got one set out and one in (plus an extra Gene Simmons). You're better off with the box set of them on stage.

 

Anyway, general advice, everybody is so collection conscious these day, if you want an investment of something of value, your best bet is to spring for something already worth a fair amount, and hope it appreciates even more.

My body is my most prized posession as it is my vehicle in life. It may sound egotistical but ego can be a good thing since without it life would go nowhere.

 

 

 

Besides that my Benoit autograph

 

Wrestling tape collection

 

My weights

 

My video games

 

My card collection although I don't need them anymore

 

My old Wayne Gretzky Edmonton shirt

 

My 27 year old teddy bear

 

Transformers/He-Man sticker books

 

Other stuff -- I'll think I stop now.

you forgot to mention about them not being manufactured anymore - the fact that little kids play with them and break them doesn't mean that that toy is rare to find.

 

I assumed that it would be a given that old toys aren't manufactured anymore, and thus I didn't feel I had to point it out.

 

And I think if you could find something that seemed collectible, but wasn't a very popular item, then it might be worth it to collect that, because if there's not many others doing it, then the chances for them being worth money goes through the roof.

 

I would answer the original question of the thread, but I honestly don't know.

My CD collection is easily my most prized possession. Music means more to me than just about everything else.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

^That's a good call, too. I think of it in terms of, "if someone stole this, would it be worse if it were this or this?" and I got the rig more recently, so it's that. The cds are a close second, though.

Glad to see you stuided my ways of how to kiss ass on a message board.

TOYS ARE FOR PLAYING WITH.

 

Buying toys and leaving them in the package = cheesedick.

Not if it's going to make you money and/or you're a hardcore collector.

Fool.

 

Stop living your life based on what you learned from Disney movies. Stifle yourself when it comes to subjects of which you are ignorant. People like you are a plague.

Agreed, especially about the toys.

The Residents wallet and keychain are gorgeous, but the velvet jacket covered in badges is fairly important too. I have to agree with the CDs though.

I'm just assuming that IDRM is "taking the piss".

 

I don't watch no Disney movies.

[Nighthawk 0]

Indeed. I'm glad you haven't taken my confrontational style the wrong way.

 

I would like to know what "taking the piss" means, however. I mean, I know what it means, but I don't see how it could mean that.

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

I'm English, and yeah, you've got a point there. But it's our language, so start saying it. And 'twat' as well. Everyone's a twat. I love that word, works in all situations. I have a badge that reads 'twat'. Ownage, twats.

[Guest Dids]

It's an english saying that basically means "making fun of the situation". It doesn't translate literally, but it's a really good phrase, so I use it instead of the 'Merican equivilant.

[Nighthawk 0]

Yeah, I sometimes prefer English euphemisms myself. Twat is fabulous. See, I just used fabulous. That's either British or gay, but I was using it in the former. You English say "Fuck off." in the best way as well. Like "ffffffffUG AWRF!" I say that all the time.

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

See, I feel at home now. Thankyou for embracing my cultur, ya ffffuGGin cANT!

Other than that, I have no idea what to say, I just prize my life damnit. Everyday im happy is a prize to me.

That doesn't sound like the talk of any 14-year-old I've ever met.

[Guest T®ITEC]

Hell, that doesn't sound like any 18-year-old I know. All they do is complain, mostly about DRAWMUH~ and such.

Because 14 year olds are usually smarter than that.

John Cleese in The Life of Brian when asked if he was in the Judean People's Front. Best Fuck Off ever.

 

The Residents wallet and keychain are gorgeous..

I want a Residents wallet. That would rule. We live far enough apart where if I got one, I wouldn't be copying you, so I might.
