[Lord of The Curry]

Here's an idea, run into a knife at top speed and make a post telling us if you've survived or not.

[Vanhalen]

I did survive, although my wallpapers now ruined

[Henry Spencer]

Who the fuck is this guy? Seriously now.

[kkktookmybabyaway]

He gets this way whenever there is a big soccer/football game that his team loses.

[Gary Floyd]

Who the fuck is this guy? Seriously now.

[Open the Muggy Gate]

I don't know who he is, but I bet he has herpes.

[Vanhalen]

Just a mild version

[Open the Muggy Gate]

See, I know what I'm talking about.

[justsoyouknow]

I'm going to make a second motion that Vanhalen not post in my folder anymore.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

I don't know who he is, but I bet he has herpes.

 

Youd be surprised how many people have the strain of herpes that causes cold sores on the lips.

 

Anyway.

 

I found my 6 pack of Coke comemorating Jeff Gordon's first Winston Cup Championship back in 1995. 12 years ago..and now hes sponsored by Pepsi so its probably really valuable.

Kinds like how Shrek works for McDonalds instead of BK now, eh?

no

[Art Sandusky]

It won't be REALLY valuable, but it'll be worth more than the original purchase price.

My dad bought this exact item on E-Bay about a year ago. No, it's not valuable.

[Slayer]

Only thing to do then is break it open and drink it

a year ago jeff gordon wasnt close to winning Championship #5 making him closer to breaking the record of 7 with Earnhardt and Petty..

 

1 bottle goes for $6 now..I have 6 bottles plus the cardboard holder in perfect condition, should be worth at least $50 now for all 6 (not that Im selling), more in a few years..which is way more than the $2 I paid for it back in 1995.

When Marvin is more entertaining in a thread than Vanhalen, then it really says something about VH.

What sort of toothless rube would fork over fifty bucks for an old Coke can? I don't understand the secondary sports memorabilia market. If you want to hang on to a home run ball you caught at a game and had signed, okay, I get that, because it's a signed baseball and that's Americana and so on, but a Coke can with Jeff Gordon on it? Who cares? This has no intrinsic nor sentimental value, especially if you just bought it off some guy on the Internet. Positively baffling. I mean, what do you do with a sports item that has no sentimental value to you, personally? Give it to your kid? "Here's a can of carbonic acid with a race car driver on it. Cherish it."

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

So this one time, I helped my buddy JD move a bunch of crap into his parents' storage locker. His mom is a top ten worst packrat on earth. She had a milk crate in there with a bunch of 7up bottles from 1976, with bicentennial crap on them. I could've shot her without flinching.

[Sideburnious]

M'Cans! M'Precious Cans!

[Guest George's Box]

I want an answer. Marvin, you should sell your stupid Coke bottles if some hick wants to pony up $50 for them. More power to you. What sort of enjoyment are you deriving from possessing stale pop? The item has no real value to you (or shouldn't) since you have no direct involvement in the acquisition of the item.

well its actually the 8 oz glass bottles, and theres 6 of them..I already mentioned its a unique item because shortly after 95 he went and signed a deal with Pepsi at the end of 1996. The bottles comemorate his first championship which is a big thing anyway. I wonder if I could get him to sign the cardboard thing lol..?

 

the glass bottled coke sells for a buck a piece of $3.99 a 6 pack now which a ripoff considering they're only 8oz bottles, but I know there are people out there who swear it tastes better or something..

[Open the Muggy Gate]

alright, time to fix this thread....

 

 

there we go.

I can't fathom this having any substantial resale value, but that market is a weird one.

 

As for my sports memorabilia, we have a hockey stick signed by the Black Hawks that we try to keep in good condition. I think Savard is on there and some other guys from the '80s, back when my family's station was carrying the Hawks. It's not the sort of thing I'd ever want to sell, because it wouldn't be worth the money to get rid of something that my grandparents gave to me. When I have a house of my own, I'll mount it on the wall in the basement or something. (And the basement will have paneling, like any self-respecting basement ought to.) I guess I just have a very narrow scope as to what constitutes being worth hanging on to in the world of sports.

I think we need to put a bullet in this thread. Agent, please.

[Vern Gagne]

My parents still have two unopen boxes of Wheaties from the 1987 World Series.

You ought to see what Ive kept/got sports wise. My biggest thing is an autographed 8x10 b&w photo of Cal Ripken personally to me (To Matt, all my best Cal) from when I was in John Hopkins over Christmas of 1989 for my 2nd Heart Surgery, although unfortunately I was knocked out when he came by and didnt get to meet him. Also got a Skipjacks Hockey puck and autographed team photo and got to meet a couple of them..big whoop. But Ive kept every ticket to every game Ive ever been to, every free promotional item, Ive got boxes of stuff sitting around.

I started laughing so much at this I was expecting my boss from the next office over to come in and ask what was going on. Well played, sir.
