need some help? look me up. drinking beer is one of my specialties.

3DO or Jaguar?

Nobody owns a dog! Damn, brother! This post is four sentences and zero commas! I also have a lot of $1 casino chips. Probably about 45 of them.

had them all, Nintendo top loader and dogbone controller Nintendo, Nintendo Virtual Boy etc etc, all NIB... Jaguar 64's version of DOOM was the absolute best, you could link several systems together and the game play was super smooth and very fast. of course one game alone cant support an entire system.

Audio stuff...

Schu,

Sweet! List of the vintage stuff, please. Or at least your favorites/most prized.

My sister still has our original Atari with the original Pong.

I am so jealous.

Coins & currency, but not in any traditional sense. I collect coins from places I go as I go there, as souvenirs. Don't care what they're worth. Also low denomination paper currency, and higher denomination if it's got something interesting on it, especially a sweet animal or a sailboat. The Bermuda $2 bill has a pretty nice bluebird on it:




and the Maldives 20 rufiyaa note has not only a yellowfin tuna, but a sailboat as well:




started realizing I might have a problem when I spent 3 days trying to get a 40 franc special issue note from the Djibouti Federal Reserve, but can anyone really blame me when it has this sweet of a whale shark on it:



?


Eventually I'll make it to Tokelau (first 100% solar powered nation in the world!) and pick a couple of these dragonfly coins:




mostly as a gift for my cousin who loves all things dragonfly, but I'll hold on to one for myself.


The whale shark and the dragonfly are both special issues, and I normally just stick to regular in circulation stuff, but extenuating circumstances for both imo. If I happen to find someone selling old de-circulated coins somewhere, I'll often pick up one of each type as well, but I don't go searching out coin stores since I usually only care about stuff in circulation. Did manage to lucksack my way into one of these sweet pangolin coins from Zimbabwe:



which were only circulated from 2001-2003.


I will admit to making a special trip (OK, two) to the Namibian Federal Reserve in Windhoek to pick up a bunch of these:




because really, can anyone disagree with eating more fish?

chop - What's up with the pictures on that paper currency being in portrait mode? Seems odd.

All three of those are pretty sweet coins.


21st centruy fish nickels!

Part of the sail would be on the outside otherwise

So you liked the cut of his jib?

yeah, the more i travel the more i realize US money is pretty damn boring.

Yeah I would like some bling bling blaow on it as well.

I seriously need to get rid of some of my hockey cards. My favourite piece not pictured is a wooden Yzerman game used Louisville, I also have a cool large framed black and white photo of the 1967 Leafs Stanley Cup team autographed with a silver sharpie by all of the players but two. Hockey eh!






I am a bit old ok so my idol was Dave Keon. I think I have all his cards.

That leafs Stanley cup team autograph will be worth A LOT as they're never winning again

ok, what the hell. I'll post the Yzerman stick and throw in Marty Brodeur for any goalie fans.

stop, ahahah

I am now forced to post it.


Two players did not sign it. Who and why?

Great stuff R*R!

So here is a fun story. I live on the West Coast. I have been to almost every pro arena in Canada like the Montreal Forum for example. But I had never been to Maple Leaf Gardens.


They scheduled the last game Leafs ever at the Gardens on February 13, 1999. I had to go. So I forked out $800 for 13 rows up from the blue line in the reds. Great seats so since it was a must go to event I was sitting very close to many of my hockey heroes. The guy next to me was the owner of Leafs program printing company so at an intermission he gave me a bunch of early number programs. So awesome!

Anyhow, I left Vancouver on a Friday night and arrived in Toronto later that night. I passed out at my hotel and the next morning I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame. That night I went to the game. They lost but is was a helluva a celebration. The next morning I got up and flew back to Vancouver.

One bonus was that February 13 is my birthday. I did up a shadow box with the ticket, a souvenir puck. and a letter that I got from Ken Dryden (Hall of Fame Goalie) and President of the Leafs at the time certifying that I was at the game.

Wow very cool stuff!

But have you been to Maple Leaf Gardens since they turned it into a Loblaws grocery store?

Terry Sawchuk?

That is one of them. He is second row on the far right. #30
