Pictures - I used to collect all sorts of things, and sometimes sell them on eBay.

I'll post some pictures from my pic file called "eBay".

Some items sold, some didn't. On some things, I pulled the listings because I could not bear to part with the items.

I collected coins, stamps, paper-based ephemera, and baseball cards (mainly 1967-1970), old currency, coins. I've also attended many hundreds of concerts and have a personal collection of ticket stubs.

I think I was offered $250 for this ticket stub, but I pulled the listing. This particular one will be worth thousands someday to the person who inherits this. This show has become so famous that the library of congress inducted this show into the national recording registry in 2011:



Another of my stubs:



More stuff:









My wife used to ride, these are her horse magazines that she sold:


Baseball cards!





Rose Bowl ticket:


JFK post card:


Old letters from the early 1900s:


More baseball:


You get the idea...I hope this is interesting to someone.

Still have some old Detroit Rock and Roll posters.
Everything is for sale, just somethings are priced very high.
It’s all just stuff.
My plan is to have the last check I ever write bounce.

It was attached to our house. My dad ripped off the front porch and built a store front.

Amazing what you learn over the years in a situation like that...talking to all of the customers and dealers that came in...

Good plan about your last check!

They don't have paper ticket stubs anymore. *Sigh*

Do you still have the JFK postcard?

I sold that post card to a local coin shop. As I remember, I got a pretty good buck for it! This coin shop bought coins, currency, and paper collectables.

I also sold the shop some of that currency in the photos, but some was also sold on eBay.

I hope you have a beautiful day today.

That postcard is absolutely amazing.

I have some money but nothing probably worth anything.

I started work today for a temp client at 7am. She has dementia and I can tell she struggles and gets emotional. She knows something is happening to her.

We talked for awhile, but she departed the kitchen table awhile ago and is roaming around her home. She probably got tired of me asking if she was hungry. lol

In all seriousness none of my clients goes hungry on my watch.

Thank you so much. I hope that you have a beautiful day as well!

My job here is to make sure that she doesn't wonder off.

I try my best that's for sure.
