jimq112

I wonder how many nice clear collection pics would end up on evil-bay. My collection isn't much but a lot of people here have nice things.

Bigkidatheart had a nice display for his collection. Haven't heard from him in awhile. Trying using the search term 'display' and his might show up on a thread.

Cheers! Wick

Yeah, I used to. It made it real easy for the thieves to know exactly what to steal.

duner

I remember that too. It was longer then a few weeks ago, I think it was a couple of months ago. I could be wrong though.

Nice Knuckles.....I always loved the McFarlane goalies....they display great !

JESSEJAMES

Knuckles, where did you get that case for your items? I love it!

thekobeshow

Knuckles,

There appears to be something seriously wrong with your display.....

There appears to on the bottom shelf a BASEBALL?? and a 55 Bowman Mantle?? I think they are lost......

(and the Mantle appears to have some rough corners)

Allen

thekobeshow-Is that an Iverson arm sleeve hangin down?

CardCoreCollector

hey thekobeshow,

have you been on these boards before ?

Just curious because you remind of someone a while back. I also had a Kobe related name a little ways back

Dave

thekobeshow

nope never been on this board, i've always looked to see what's going on though.

Allen, yup that's an arm sleeve along with some game worn shoes from iverson. Aiverson is the man!

Downtown1974

There is also a 1956 Mantle missing from Knuckles display in the picture above. What happend to Mick?

thekobeshow

hey duner? are those your displays man? those are cool

really diggin the whole living room setup!! tell the girlfriend whos boss! haha j/k

CardCoreCollector

Oh ok

I sent a copy of one of Kobe's high school games to a guy on here once and you remind me of him

It's funny because the guy also liked Iverson as well

thekobeshow

oh, never meet that many people that liked kobe and iverson? What high school tape are you talking about? Can you send me one in oregon?

CardCoreCollector

It's a copy of his high school championship game. I'd have to do alot of searching around for it because it's been a while since i've seen it but when i do i'll see if i can make you a tape

Dave

CardCoreCollector

btw, welcome to the boards

That would be me!...lol Yeah, wife has been on my case about my collection, I kind of stopped collecting for the moment. But it's hard to resist when you see something new at Target or Walmart.

Lately, I've been just working on my Hall of fame Autograph collection!!!






































Enjoy!

Jery

thekobeshow

DUDE I HATE STAR WARS, BUT THAT IS RIDICLIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I RESPECT ANYONE WHO TAKES THAT MUCH TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT INTO COLLECTING. You must be filthy rich or dead broke and eating top ramen!

Thanks cardcore I would appreciate it

Susquehanna

When I first saw that I thought it must have been from some sort of hall of fame. I hope you live in an area without alot of rain. Great display.
Nick

thekobeshow

couple of questions, but is that in your house or what? Do you lve in a spaceship or something? haha man that is insane!!

roastedcat

It's my office! My wife didn't want it in the house.

I've slowed down abit, I've got several offers for the entire collection. Maybe I'll sell it and buy a small Island.

For now this is my passion, and relaxation.

when you collect something you need to stick with it, watch it grow. Enjoy it for awhile before you let it go.


Jery

duner

Roastedcat....is that one room? and if so what are the dimensions. If it's one room, I swear it may be bigger than my entire house.

thekobeshow

man ARE YOU BILL GATES? WHO HAS A OFFICE LIKE THAT?

roastedcat

The office isn't that big, it's just 1 room and a 1/2 basically the collection just sits in a lounge area, about 250 sq ft.

Most of the collection came from ebay and yard sales, when you buy something like this on ebay, "KEY WORD" Lot, collection you'll be surprise how many people want to sell you their collection. less than 10 cent on the dollar. I hit all the clearance isles for damaged stuff, and just open them up for display. Star wars collections, go look in a penny saver or recycler and look for close out businesses perferably comic and sports shops. Because of Ebay many people are closing down their shops. That frozen Han solo in carbonite, retails for $8,000. I got it for $150. All those opened giant figures in the display case were all damaged and clearanced figures at walmart. retail new like $50-150. but on clearance and nobody buys damaged or smashed boxes, everyone want's MINT CONDITION, they cost me like $2- $10. In an open area space fill it with a cool poster until you find something else to put there, I didn't spend alot on this collection, it looks like I spent a fortune. I have two kids, and saving money is always in my mind, I doubt I'm going to have this collection for long though, but it's nice to cherish for the moment.


Jery

PS, I'm always on the look out for damaged stuff, just a little sculpty putty, and paint, it's as good as new as long it's not played with.

I never get tired of seeing this display/collection!

I recently saw a guy with a basement full of great vending and pin ball machines and stuff - but it lacks the "feel" your collection exudes!

It's the best I have seen!

I give a 10! Best of show!!!!

Knuckles - very nice display

seeing the sticks setting there on the side brought to mind an item I just saw this week...
(without trying to sound like a commercial)
here's a nice looking way to show hockey sticks:

Hockey Stick Display

How I found these was through Ebay, if you're not satisfied with just buying a display, you can just drop $15K and OWN the whole nine yards, royalties and all:

Here is the link to how i display my cards.

Jery-

Absolutly awesome! I am not a Star Wars fan but I can appreciate such a large and well displayed collection.

Knuckles

Knuckles, where did you get that case for your items? I love it!

I got it from Ikea a few years back.


Jery, I agree with Mike.. I never get tired of seeing your display. It's incredible. Have you ever been featured in a magazine like ToyFair (i think it's called or anything?)


There appears to be something seriously wrong with your display.....

(and the Mantle appears to have some rough corners)

Ha! Yeah. Here's a close up of the ball and the 55 Mantle which has another Mantle under it. (I need a new display case soon or something)

snow white all around.

The only sportscards I have left . I have spent years trying to find the perfect display case

thekobeshow

ugh jackstraw I'm too distracted to see any type of sports card display in your picture, do you mind taking another picture maybe a little lower this time? Thanks

Fabfrank

Roasted Cat- That's an awesome display
I'm love Star Wars the movies and comic books, but don't collect any of the figures or memoribilia. What really impresses me is how neat and organized the collection is. Congrats on the best display I've ever seen.

thekobeshow

eazyshooter! nice basketball card display...ive always wanted that pete maravich rookie man

thekobeshow

jery I hear you are a friend of the star wars producer and your collection has been featured on television?

larryallen73

I was going to vote for the star wars guy but I guess Jackstraw has to win! Nice work.

roastedcat

<<<Jery, I agree with Mike.. I never get tired of seeing your display. It's incredible. Have you ever been featured in a magazine like ToyFair (i think it's called or anything?)>>>



Yeah, I actually sent Toyfair a copy of my photos once, but it never made the issue, however I did get in a magazine called Combo which was kind of cool. I once made a speeder bike costume and entered it in the Toyfair's sister magazine called Wizard Magazine, I won 3rd place. I was trying for the HDTV Plasma 56 inch tv but didn't get it, I just won a bunch of neat collectors junk. It was fun to try and be famous for a short time....lol.

Here's a picture of that article. Wizard Magazine Issue #63





Enjoy

Jery
























Heres a photo of me the following year! I was trying to win a Giant screen tv with a fully loaded Play station 2. I didn't win squat, I was just reading the magazine one day and then all of a sudden I noticed they printed my photo in the magazine as a sense of humor....I must have laughed my head off when I saw it...
Being famous for a short time is kind of fun!

Roastedcat -

I saw a special on TLC one time about people and their collections, this guy had a vault full of Star Wars stuff. Room after room just packed full. He said he was on his second mortgage buying all this stuff up and his wife had absolutely no problem with it. At least that's what he said in front of the cameras. That wasn't you was it?

Just thought I would share that story. I didn't feel nearly as bad about my collecting habits when I learned he was on mortgage numero dos.

Travis



PS - That special also did a piece on Penny Marshall's baseball collection. Holy cripes!

Knuckles

lol, that's great! I once read wizard when I collected comic books.. The issues with people in costume were great.. (especially the chicks dressed up as vampirella)

calleocho

Incredible star wars collection ...so neat!

roastedcat

kcballboy- nope that wasn't me! Wife would have left me by now if that was the case....lol. if he's on his 2nd morgage, he's a super diehard collector, surpasses me big time. I say I spent about $4000. maybe $5000. on this entire collection. Like I said in my earlier post, if you buy collections in bulk, you pay less. Go to Walmart hit all the clearance isles and buy up all the damaged packaging, the figures are fine. Plus it gives you more room to add other figures. Hit all the 99 cent stores and look for everything starwars and your collection grows very quickly.



This photo here, looks cool from a distance, but if you look very carefully at it, they are all Taco bell toys which you get with a kids meal, and most I picked up at a flea market.

The collectibles I really like the best are the food premium items, the cereal boxes, candy boxes, those many people don't collect, but to me those bring out the collection. All the collectors may have all the figures and toys, they will probley never go up in value because everyone's keeping them MINT. But nobody's keeping those cereal boxes and food perishables in their collection, I think thats what makes the collection unique.

Where is the best place that I can get a nice glass case to display my items at my home?
