Cleaning The Closet And Found.....

Barfvader

Uh ok, not really found because I knew this stuff was in there but spring has sprung (yeah really feels like it with temps at 26 degrees/15 with the wind and gusts up to 45 mph and snow showers expected through the day and night but whatever) so I'm in the mood to try and attempt to gain some headway on my room of terror (room is winning) and thought I should try and re-arrange some of the boxes of stuff in the closet (boy how stupid am I).

Here is a few items from the solid packed closet of doom.


Some Video Arcade Games Puffy Stickers





Donkey Kong Players Guide




Mr T Puffy Stickers (I pity the uh, oh never mind)




Childs Handprint. Paper Is Dated 1910.




Sheet Music

Thanks for sharing !

Mr. T stickers - tough ...

Spider-cars - exciting ...

Golden Gems reciept ... priceless !

thanks for the laugh. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we're not worthy of laughter.

Elemenopeo

Awesome. That receipt is all kinds of wonderful and definitely a keeper.

I also have to chime in about the Mr. T stickers...I absolutely remember me & my brother LOVING those when we were kids! Great find!

Barfvader

It's always an adventure going through this stuff.

Makes one want to laugh and cry all at the same time but this is the life of a collector/junk hoarder.

And might as well add a few more.

Some Game Pads From My Long Dead 3DO System (Need To Fix Or Buy Another One)
Notice The One Penny Price On The One Box




Pop Tarts Anyone
The Two On The Top Didn't Survive Being Hidden In The Closet




Yummy. Fries.





I'm sure I'll find some more treasures if the whole mess doesn't come crashing down on top of me.

Stone193

Wow - thanx - my closet has that kind of stuff - but I lack the courage to scan it!

$215 worth of cards? Now? Maybe 10 bucks? I don't know - just look at that! That's right around the time I was getting serious - again about card collecting. 1985 to 89 - I bought just a little stuff.

Wish I would've foucused on 1800s and prewar stuff back then - nobody wanted it and prices were very reasonable - I'm an idiot!

Ya gotta love this hobby!

What, nothing with Tempest on it?? That was my favorite arcade game of all-time!!

LOVE the Zaxxon stickers. sweet.

I pumped absolutely ridculous amounts of quarters into Donkey Kong machines back when. Joust was another money-eater for me.

Jeff- The good news is you will never lose sleep because you threw away something that turned out to be valuable 30 years later.

NEVER EVER

alnavman

Mr. T Stickers...you rock!!! also I remember those headliners, they were going to be the next great collectible...I still have one from the Cleveland National a number of years ago..scan isn't the greatest but it is a David Justice "limited" show piece...thought it would make me rich.

Barfvader

Mike,

It's not courage. I just think I've completely lost my mind. Of course I haven't shown the sports posters, 2 old Beta vcrs (plus tapes), another turntable (that makes 6 so far), the Avon bottles, model kits, price guides, gas station maps from mostly the 60's, travel brochures from 40's to 70's, cereal boxes, board games and on and on and on.


What, nothing with Tempest on it??

Well this will have to do as it's the only thing I have. Games are spot on except for the controls.





Jeff- The good news is you will never lose sleep because you threw away something that turned out to be valuable 30 years later.

Lee, I wish. Problem with having a good memory is the knowing what I have passed up and shold have been buying but because I wasn't into sports cards until 1988 I bought this other stuff.

And might as well add a few more.

My best friend in high school and I used to walk to the neighborhood pool hall and spend hours playing Donkey Kong. They had a sit-down machine that gave six lives to start, plus the extra at 10,000 points. We'd play a loooong time on one quarter. Good times.

Those Zaxxon stickers bring back some memories, too. Never could quite figure that game out.

Love that receipt. That thing should be framed and put up on your wall.

TNP, you had to pull down to go up and up to go down. Zaxxon was cool.

TNP777

Lee - I remember that. I think it was the whole trying to be in 3D look that threw me, plus the flying at an angle thing. I was just never that good at it. Defender was another game I tried & tried to succeed at, and just never could.

Speaking of Defender, here's a cool site where you can play some of the classic Midway games. Defender, Joust, Robotron to name a few.

Zaxxon ruled and those puffy stickers were great!

Truth be told, I wanna see a pic of the guitar in the background. Looks like a gorgeous guitar

Charlie9

I've still got a few 800 count boxes of 87T Eric Davis, Mike Greenwell, and Tracy Jones lying around someplace. Hopefully the receipts not in there to remind me how much I paid for that stuff!

I hate you so much right now.

$215 for those. Wow, that brought a smile to my face. Mike, I think $10 is even pushing it. I don't think anybody would want to pay for the shipping on those. Amazing!

envoy98

Very Nice! Similar amp to the one I have. I have an MX120 Crate.

Why not see if he has a puppy you can kick in the face while you're at it.

I'm fairly positive I still have those cards and once I can get the room to where I can walk over to the cards I'll look and scan them.

And some more crapola.

Those are awesome maps.

I'm always on the search for original early 1900's Houston maps, if you happen find any.

love looking at stuff like that

I have that Hendrix Guitar World (along with about 200 others)

Here's the last thing I dug out of the closet.

KISS The Originals on 8-Track tape put out by Quality Records in Canada.



The box it came in has the cards on it.




And inside it came with the booklet and sticker.





Bought it brand new in a store in a discount bin in the 80's for around $3.

But bad news on this one is one of the tapes got destroyed as the tape deck ate it.

Nice Michael Kelly, I have been kicking around the idea of adding either a Kelly Patriot or a Hagstrom Swede into my mix. Crate has some really good tube amps they just put out a year or two ago. My first tube amp was a Blue Voodoo 100W Head with Slanted cab.

That $215.15 "investment" reminds me of my investment in a small hoard of Kevin Maas rookie cards...but my dollar amount was much worse.
