I actually started collecting it before I got serious about game collecting, but my game collection has now seriously outpaced my record collection. Is that Chronic an original?

Foochie776 | 1,051 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I like to collect vintage beer signs. Primarily Hamms. I dabble in other things like Simpsons collectibles and other things that catch my eye but Hamms is the big one. Pictured is a small selection of my Smalls.. cans, lighters, matchbooks, etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my first vinyl collection many years ago, which I definitely regret. I've been re-building my collection over the past few years. This one is the remaster.

I’m a huge Dre fan and I also have the reprint. I actually have the Chronic cover portrait tattooed on my arm Do you have any other hip hop albums? I’ve always wanted the original Straight Outta Compton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,314 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 @Foochie776 This is actually several commercials put together - the duck was a constant antagonist of the bear (and was in a lot of the Hamm commercials of the period) - I don't think it was ever explained why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I have some game used hockey stuff I collect. About 20 or so sticks (mixed goalie and skater) and some jerseys of guys that I went to college with. Some gloves and a helmet in there too.

Daniel_Doyce | 470 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) @Tabonga - a little late to this thread, but have you come across any collectible backgammon paraphernalia? "Collectible" means from the 1930s or before. In addition to the big authentic Bakelite chips, I'm looking for backgammon matches (which are Bakelite matchsticks that came in a set to keep score), backgammon doubling dials, and large Bakelite or unusual doubling cubes.

Strange | 1,700 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I guess it’s harder for me to recall these because I don’t actively look for them like I do games and hockey stuff, but I also pick up coffee mugs and old and contemporary American pottery because I eventually want to start making my own pottery.

RH | 4,895 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I tried to get into Bonsai and collecting nice pots from modern Japanese artists, but due to an accident from a spouse not knowing that I was buying legitimate art, the pot fell, broke and I could never get back into it. It was a sad day. In my youth, I collected a little bit of everything that kids collected but today it's just video games and CRTs. I picked up a 1991 bubble SONY Trinitron from the road on Sunday. It needs a thorough cleaning and I've not had a chance to test it, but if all is good, it will be used for my SNES/Genesis rig. I'm feeling I need to get CRTs that are "period accurate" for each generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - added two pics Not so much I am afraid - most of the backgammon stuff I have are components of the suitcase sets I collect so it is kind of ancillary. I do have quite a few bakelite backgammon sets that I have picked up on the cheap over the years, Some of the suitcase ones had nice large doublling cubes - I have a couple that are 1 3/4". I have two sets of really old bullseye 1 3/4 chips - both of which are missing a piece or two and one set with 2" chips (that one is complete - although the case was totally trashed). I have some travel backgammon sets with 3/4" pieces which I am fond of. One problem with this stuff (as I am sure you are aware of) is that it is often next to impossible to date this stuff with any accuracy.

Tabonga | 2,314 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Here is a rather unusual chess set I picked up several years ago. It is made out of aluminum and has about 5" kings - I suspect it was a well made shop project and it may be a one of a kind - I have never seen another one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
