“Guess what, most collectibles that people think is an investment is just a pile of junk that is virtually worthless. Those Reggie Jackson or Ted Williams rookie cards that supposedly fetch thousands of dollars online, good luck with that. Unless you are a professional curator that has these cards hermetically sealed in a climate controlled room like a museum, you are only going to get pennies on the dollar. “
Damn, your telling me all those beer can pull tabs I saved aren’t really going to put me over the top. I worked so hard collecting them too.
Funny you say that because I actually have a collection of beer bottle caps. There are other things I collect as well (much to my wife's dismay) such as old newspapers, usually from significant days in my life, and cassette tapes of radio airchecks.
I'm not looking to cash in on any of that. Those collections are for my own amusement and I know full well my wife (or kids) will simply toss them after I'm gone because they are essentially worthless to anybody else. But I like thumbing through newspapers from important days of my life like the day I got discharged from the Marine Corps or from my wedding day, etc.
As for the beer bottle caps, when I get around to it, I'm going to nail them to the wall in my workshop out in the garage.
