I have an old Zoid too. It's a giant white brontosaurus. Always thought he was kinda cool. I liked building him and taking him apart again

Besides my TF collection I also collect Star Wars everything and I also have a very valuable baseball card collection. Star Wars wise I have well over 400 figures now and tons of other vehicles, lightsabers, comics, and books. As for my baseball cards I have been collecting those for about 20 years now. I would estimate that the value of the collection is around 150K, give or take a couple grand. A lot of the cards that I have were left to me by my grandfather. Mantle's RC and I have triples of that!!!! Too many cards to list!! I read through this thread and we definetly have a diverse group of individuals here.

150K? Holy Moses! Do you have pictures of some of your stuff?

Post by **Time Traveller** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 5:06 pm

Why don't you sell some to buy transformers? lol

#4 is not stolen from anywhere, unless you're holding it and it's not on my desk right now.
I polished Stormcaller, the brass actually looks brassy now. I'll post a pic later. Since it's shinier, it may now appear more attractive. As for the Kris blade, it was bought for me at a yard sale, I've seen them elsewhere.

If we were nonviolent then we wouldn't be whooping your collective butts into place every five minutes.
