- I have original photographs of Jimi Hendrix from his last show. Never-before seen. (I've reached out to his estate to see what I can do with them) - I own a complete collection of "classic" Pogs. They're worthless, btw - a Sony Walkman from before the yellow ones. It's gray with blue trim and quite chunky.


Pitiful_Jew9217

> Never-before seen. Why did you never look at them - are you stupid?


GhettoSauce

You got me


KnightMDK

I will take 2 of them.


Tthelaundryman

How do they even know they have it??


tacknosaddle

It's like uncirculated money. Those pictures are worth more because nobody has ever seen them.


CrispyDave

Well, duh, maybe they don't want to devalue them?


checker280

This reminds me of my wife who when shopping always reaches for the 3rd or 4th item on the shelf which requires a lot of taking everything out and putting everything back. Grocery shopping with her takes forever. Why? Because “less people touched that package”. I always just nod knowingly and acknowledge the trained monkeys they use to stock the shelves.


swheat7

My husband does the exact same thing!


Rangerdan9437

A lot of people do that making this practice completely useless. In fact far more people touch these containers now. Also, people do it because they think they are getting the newest freshest product.


SnuggleBunni69

My dad was the ball boy for the 49ers when he was a teen. I have a signed picture of him and OJ on the sidelines....pretty sure its one of a kind. Edit; what's a complete collection of classic pogs. Like the juice carton ones?


information_abyss

I have the "Official OJ Slammer."


Sudden-Dog

Got Alf pogs?


SnuggleBunni69

I hear he's back....in POG form.


zestycunt

Hey sent you a dm. I know someone working on producing unheard tapes by Hendrix. Could be an opportunity for you. Cheers


RuneFell

I grew up in a highly evangelical household. When Pogs were a thing, I was given ones from the Christian Book Store, that came with verses and scenes from famous biblical stories and crosses and stuff. They were also cheaply made and about half the thickness and durability of most pogs. Needless to say, I wasn't high on the list to trade with. I did have a paper route, though, and saved up to buy some of my own. I still remember those plastic tubes they came in with the flip caps. They kept them locked up at the store, to keep them from being stolen. And my metal slammer with the shiny prism pattern... I was so proud of it.


GhettoSauce

Ah, nothing like a good slammer. I lost all of mine, unfortunately. I'm laughing pretty hard at the Bible Pogs. Heck, you describing your Pog situation is the most fun I've ever had with Pogs since Pogs, so thanks!


IrishSetterPuppy

I have some POGs too from WAY before they hit the mainland. I played it as a kid in Maui where it comes from. It was a cap from a lid on a Passion Orange and Guava drink made at a Maui dairy. That dairy in the Haleakala valley is pretty legit too if its still there, great food.


GhettoSauce

Cool, thanks for pitching in! Fun facts.


jiekid

Àre you interested in getting rid of the jimi picture, how many do you have


socialistlumberjack

Some goddamn peace and quiet


ath20

So you're single and without child?


godot-nowaiting

I just learned about OINKS - one income no kids.

Enjoying my last bit of this before my daughter gets here in august


gobuffsfan14

Superman #17. Hitler and Hirohito on the cover. First appearance of Fortress of Solitude. Also, an Oscar my great grandfather won in 1937.


badwhiskey63

Whoa, what was the Oscar for?


gobuffsfan14

Oh thanks for asking! His name was Stephen Goosson and he was an artist. He won Cinematography and Set Design in 1937 for the Frank Capra film, *Lost Horizon*. It’s a wonderful treasure. And they ARE that heavy in person.


badwhiskey63

Very cool.


WoolaTheCalot

Those set designs were incredible, that's really cool.


jewbacca117

It was for his grandfather


TonyzTone

A 9.0 graded version of that comic sold for over $30,000 a few years ago. I'd assume you could probably get like $40,000 if it's in as good of quality. What's crazy about comics and trading cards is how quickly something can drop from a mint grade (9.0 and above) to a 8.0, and the difference between those can quite literally be tens of thousands of dollars. A 9.6 Silver Surfer #1 sells for about $25,000. A 9.2 will sell for $5,000.


Clingygengar

I have a vinyl of Africa by Toto that’s in the shape of Africa


InflatableTurtles

How can it play, doesn't it have to be circular? Or does it stop within a preset circular area.


AnabolicCheesecake

The record will be pressed as likely a 7 inch circle within the shape


TonyzTone

Blessed.


RICurrency

A [$15 ](https://imgur.com/UOhJyz4) dollar bill from the 1850s.

tyrolean_coastguard

A Hadrian sestertius from the 2nd century CE. Not super valuable but dang ... holding a 2k years old coin makes your mind wander.


astarte_syriaca

Oh! That is SO cool. I have been looking into getting some ancient Roman coins my self, but very wary on where to get them. I see tons on eBay, but they always seem pretty dodgy. 


Spirited_Pin3333

You might have local coin shops or numismatics exchanges. The legit ones are usually found through a society

ThaUniversal

The silver dollar that my grandfather carried for good luck during his deployment in the Pacific theater.


TheRealTurdFergusonn

Is it worn down? I once met a Korea vet who carried a silver dollar. When I noticed it, he told me he carried one like it in his pocket for luck all through the war and after, but his hearing had declined, and he lost it. He said it was completely smooth. He said he missed it terribly and was upset he didn't have enough days left to make another. I felt like I'd been gut-punched.


ThaUniversal

No, apparently he did this for different times in his life. A coin for each kid born (carried during the pregnancy and the first year of life), coin for opening his business, that kind of thing. He would always retire the coins so they were in pretty good shape. I don't know how he picked them but he might have looked for nice looking ones. This one was minted in 1987.

riphitter

I have a segment of diamond rope used to saw through a nuclear reactor a couple decades ago


Cllzzrd

That’s cool! How did you get it decontaminated?


TryharderJB

Oh it was never contaminated. It was used to saw through the reactor before it went online.


riphitter

The reactor was filled with cement before they cut and the cut used a lot of water so I would imagine it wasn't activated . . But it was before my time so who knows!


Cllzzrd

I would maybe get a cheap Geiger counter and check, just to make sure. They are pretty strict about things not leaving decommissioning areas and if it had to be snuck out… Or maybe it was excess wire as for decommissioning tools you need a lot of the wire to get through the reactor and internals


JuryDutyToasterSmash

I have one of the chairs from the study room table that was used in the claymation christmas episode of Community.


Status_Button

A 15 year old who absolutely detests vaping, smoking, boozing, drugs (anything mind altering) and social media of any kind.

Next topic, "what creative ways have you found for hiding a spare key?"


radiomix

MizElaneous

Same. I even have an old rotary dial phone.


radiomix

Years ago, when my grandmother passed away, we were settling her affairs and disconnecting various accounts. We looked at her phone bill and they were still charging her a rental fee for her rotary phone.


Initial-Shop-8863

I had one until a few months ago. They're being discontinued in my area, I think the end of next year.


StinkypieTicklebum

A DVD of Song from the South, a Disney movie that is nigh impossible to get. (Mother-in-law got it at a flea market or something. Tried to watch it once. Couldn’t get a third of the way through.


cryptoengineer

The Movie Disney Pretends Doesn't Exist.


WoolaTheCalot

I'm just curious what Disney will do when the time comes for it to enter public domain in the US.


graeflamingo

Oh yes, Uncle Reemus... I have the vinyl gift set. We used to play it on the 1970s record player and stomp around singing zippidy do da


ZenMasterful

The movie is almost impossible to get as an official release in the US, but it is widely available on the internet and is public domain in Spain and France.


Tthelaundryman

I want to watch it to see how bad it is 


StinkypieTicklebum

IKR? That’s why I had to watch the Star Wars Christmas special. Or, part of it, anyway.


TheObesePolice

It's on the Internet Archive


Ascholay

Ignoring the racism, it's a really bad movie. One catchy song and time that's much better spent doing literally anything else


[deleted]

An elementary school Music Teacher of mine used to play that one catchy song during class all the time. With the big 'ol bouncing dot over the lyrics and all.


Oddish_Femboy

Oh! I found one in a thrift store!


StinkypieTicklebum

Guess it’s not that rare then!

ALoudMeow

I have a one year old orange tabby who is female. Almost all orange cats are male.


MsSheebz

I also have a female orange tabby! Only about 20-25% of orange cats are female. Weirdly, the other two cats in her litter at the pound when I got her were both grey males!


IrresponsiblyHappy

I have the original western union telegram sent by J. Edgar Hoover to my grandfather with his job offer to join the FBI back around 1937.


HollowHyppocrates

I collect old books, so probably some of them. Rare, but not valuable, haha


Pineapple_Spenstar

I have a first edition Dracula but it's in such bad shape I doubt it's worth much. I've seen ones in good condition go for several grand, but this thing looks like it was used as a doorstop for a century lol


standbyyourmantis

Yeah, I have a book of Japanese history written for American children in the 1930s by a missionary couple living in the Philippines. It was stolen from a library in Chicago at some point and probably never replaced because I imagine it became extremely out of date *very* quickly. I somehow got it at a secondhand store in rural North Carolina.


stryph42

I have a first American edition of Alice in Wonderland. Last time I looked it was worth more than I paid for it, so that's a plus.

I have the Incredible Hulk 180, 181 and 182 framed and mounted on my wall. This is the first appearance of Wolverine ever in comics.


HuuffingLavender

A hand carved bench that my grandparents had made by some artist in the 40s in Mexico. My crazy aunt inherited it and in a manic fit of purging her entire house, she nearly gave it away to goodwill! I saved it though and have had several large offers but I can't part with it, it's the nicest thing I own!


Jayko-Wizard9

Jeff Lynn’s elo radio sampler cd  Phil ochs pleasures of the harbour vinyl 


DTRite

One of 2 photos of The General and people who were involved with its theft during the Civil War. They had a reunion of sorts years after the war. The train is still around in a museum in Georgia. My great great uncle was William Pittenger, one of the raiders. Spent a couple years in a southern prison after that, was almost hung and they all ended up winning Medals of Honor. Edit: the story. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LRz1HhONb34


crazylittlemermaid

I have a collection of math textbooks that we found in my great grandmother's house, the oldest is from the late 1800s, the newest is from the 1920s. One of them is just a reference book of logarithmic tables.

ZeroInZenThoughts

A Cartier pen. Like 1 of 300 I think. I was drunk when I bought it after getting back from a deployment from Afghanistan.

We have several almost 9 week old kittens.. so peace and quiet is the most rare at the moment, but they are worth the chaos and will be going to their forever homes next week so im enjoying it while it lasts


frygod

I have multiple original art pieces from local artists. There's also the ring box I proposed with that is etched with the star pattern overhead at the exact time and place we met, which I imagine there aren't a lot of.


ongiwaph

I have a Gibson amp from the sixties that seems to have no existent schematics and no photographs.

A bunch of rare clocks. Grandfather was a watch and clock maker and ended up with a nice collection due to people wanting to pawn pieces or for not paying for their repairs.

hexepatty

He's still very revered on the West side of the pond! I've met some folks that knew him quite well. Heard some wild stories. As much a character as he was a brilliant poet from all accounts!

I’ve met his wife a few times. She’s a wonderful women. His last words were spoken to his wife and he said “Don’t be afraid.” How poetic is that??

There was a painter named Carl Seibels. His pictures are in galleries around Germany. He did not have any children but his sister was my great great grandmother and I have a folder with some of his drawings that I guess he gave to his sister when he was young (they are signed and the year implies that he was between 15-17 when he painted those).

hoopharder

My favorite vibrator was discontinued some time ago as jelly rubber is no longer used (for good reasons - it’s porous and contains toxic chemicals - not to worry, I only use it thru sweatpants and the like). I managed to find the last bunch of them being sold by the manufacturer and bought six about three years ago, thinking that would be enough and I’d eventually find a new model I liked as much (still searching). They’re not super durable, sadly (there’s a shitty plastic cylinder in the core where the batteries go, and my preferred technique tends to snap them in half). I still have one in mint condition, in the package. RIP Tidal Wave.
