Collectables, Limited Edition, Rare and Vintage, what do you hoard?

Ooooh nice. Would love a couple of those.

I've got a couple somewhere... Was at a video game expo back in the early 90s and the Manga Video Distributors had a huge cardboard box full of Akira cels just thrown in there, there were hundreds... I bought two at a fiver a pop, they're still in a box somewhere slightly water damaged IIRC... They came with the pencil traced sheet, no background obvs, still very nice tho'...

I've got one cel of Kaneda in the sewer and another of the girls on that bridge thing... Must dig them out...

Football boots from the steel toe capped days up to around 1970.

Stylo Matchmakers! Strong carpet slipper look in black. Still 10000% better than the white version.

historical horns of various types, ranging from about 1850 to 1950... couple of other modern instruments for work as well

Amazing!

Give you a tenner for them. 100% profit, you'd be an idiot not to take it.

Such a cool thread. Particularly jealous of @dicki rave flyers.

I love seeing stuff like that in the flesh. A rare insight in to how stuff like that gets made. My dad has a few Dan Dare originals (he was a big Eagle fan back in his youth). Seeing all the inking pen and brush marks and the whiteout and letratone is fantastic.

Just got my dad to send me a photo of the one he has framed on his wall

Thats awesome. My friend Finn has done a film poster of the Terminator that I really dig

I'm a lifelong collector/hoarder and keep going through periods with different things. Just had a baby so that made me take stock of what I had and how small our place is so some stuff has slimmed down. Main things now are Mid-School BMX ephemera and Hot Wheels.

Chinese jade, vintage cigarette cases and lighters by S.T Dupont.

Bikes don't count, do they?

Bikes don't count, do they?

Yeahh, but it's gotta be some kind of niche rather than just having loads of bikes I reckon

I collect scalps of people that pronounce "niche" like "nitch"

forgot to put photos up of the collection, photographed a few hundred and put them on flickr

probably the rarest one i own

Prodigy for a tenner on the door
I guess that's the rave 😅

The Prodigy flyer is ace. If only I'd have been a bit older...

Pretty sure i remember the Universe poster being up in Soul Survival and Replay records in Bath. My cousin was a dancer for Universe and Fantazia, wished i'd gotten more into the music at the time!

I never quite collected it, because even back in the mid-80s I couldn’t afford it. But the hunt for Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Edna Best ceramics was fun. I’ve had bits and pieces through the tears and lost most of it; broken, gifted, misplaced in moves and perhaps lifted. Tonight, I lost this one by my own hand, I AM SUCH A FUCKING KLUTZ : (

Back buying tat.

On other threads, interest has been expressed in my alternative movie poster (AMP) collection, so I have attached an non-complete list from my expresso beans account (terrible name, but it is helpful for pricing and the like)
( @chak in case you wanted to see most of my collection, the attached PDF)

There are a couple of posters missing, (Venom 18 by Tyler Kirkham, both versions), Predator, plus a few random handbills that often get thrown in, plus things I can't actually find online with casual google-fu.

If it is something you want to pursue, mystery tubes are a cheap and quick way to grow a collection, unfortunately most AMP sellers are in the USA (Hero Complex Gallery, Grey Matter Art, Bottleneck Gallery, are 3 I regularly use, Mondo are the most famous and Bot heavy on sale of good stuff, so I avoid)
UK has a few: Vice Press, Dark City Gallery, Moor-Art.
Specific artists often sell their own work off a few months after general release, as it is usually part of their fee (Release of 350 prints through a store, then the artist will get 50 to sell themselves called Artist Proofs, usually numbered separately so not to confuse the OG release)

Some of my gig tickets

^ That's a strong collection. Fave gig?

@Pifko got to be The Cramps. Bottom right. Ticket number 1 as well. I’ve probably got the same again still to mount plus who knows how many that didn’t survive the gig. Spent most of my time ‘down the front’.
Or my very first gig. Half ManHalf Biscuit.
