Well, collecting just ain’t what it used to be. Staggering how people collect crap and somehow think they’ve retained artifacts for the Smithsonian. Matchbooks, teddy bears, Cabbage Patch, etc. Sheesh.

“people collect crap and somehow think they’ve retained artifacts for the Smithsonian”

I don’t necessarily disagree with that. However, antiques roadshow proves there are some items that do retain and even increase in value.

Of course the worth of any material object is only what someone is willing to pay for it.

I’ve seen some comments on this post that shows a certain level of ignorance about the loyalty of the Kiss Army.....I suspect this guy will probably recoup a tidy sum of what he initially invested.

We collect snow. Our collection gets added to most years. But holding onto our collection is tough.

I'm the last one to criticize someone's collections.

I have the tendency to do that myself.

But I thought we'd see some seriously rare items.

Stage worn gear, some guitars, maybe autographed albums.

These items seem to be just mass produced and not particularly desirable.
