LewPort71 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Collections... Logo-ed golf balls from courses I have played and other unique collectible golf balls. Ships-on-a-stick from carnival cruise ships. These are the prize if you win a trivia contest. $100 bills.. I used to have a bunch of these but my two daughters went to college, got married, etc and Mrs. Lew has a new kitchen, so that collection is singular now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the hood (well kinda) now. Some communities, wouldn't even let residents park a pickup in their driveway. Even back in day! This was from back in day, 1989... Close to where I am. https://www.nytimes.com/1989/11/13/us/flossmoor-journal-for-pickup-no-parking-in-its-own-driveway.html Crazy!

Kevo,it was always a request from me and never a act of thievery.However,if you remember the old K-Mart on Transit near Clinton (Mayer Bros.Cider Mill),I did lift a old Farrah Fawcett iron on for a t-shirt.Must have been around '77 or so.My sisters blew me in..mom took me back to the store and made me return it..with the manager present.The old school way..I begged and pleaded with her..simply asking "please,don't tell dad".She didn't...I guess it was a lesson learned when she took me back to the store..giving me the silent treatment.It was all justified...she packed my lunch for school the next morning...like she always did.Happy Easter.

That sounds like my family! We recently took my Golden to the groomers, and when my wife picked her up she stopped to buy her an elk horn chew treat. Gracie loved it, but after paying my wife found it on the floor, picked it up and walked out. When she got home she learned the elk horn was dropped because Gracie had found a better treat on the bottom shelf she was hiding in her slobbering mouth. I went back the next day to pay for the stolen treat, but I knew Gracie would not have been shamed. She might have lifted some more goodies given the chance. Hey! She’s a dog!

In the winter or on rainy days that is where she dried laundry. She also had a wringer washer. My collection was comic books. A one time I had probably 12,000 or more. I have harvested that down to less than 1,000 that I keep because I like them or possible investment. Starting in the late 80's and increasingly in the 90's, demand for comics decreased. Also, like sports cards, there were so many "commons" that you would e lucky if one in a hundred kept collector interest. For a couple years I traveled to comic book/card shows in Rochester and Buffalo, but once the best comics were "cherry picked" from my inventory, it was not a profitable task. I sold quite a few on e-Bay for a while too. I loved comics until they started costing too much, and publishers dealt so heavily on creating "fake" collectibles, instead of good comics with good stories. So I enjoyed the hobby, but did not "retire" on the profit from selling them as I once hoped! A few years back, I sold about 6,000 for a dime each to a comic book store. They had the means to sell them over time to collectors, and I cleaned house. Edited April 3, 2018 by rockpile spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
