myLot reputation of 87/100. EdwardF (411) 6 years ago

I had a stamp collection and a coin collection when I was very young. I lost interest quickly and they didn't amount to much. Then in 1993 my Mom bought me a Peanuts`/Snoopy snow globe. I really liked it and started collecting more Peanuts`/Snoopy snow globes. I now have 96 Peanuts` snow globes. I like the Christmas ones the best. They are SOOoo adorible. But it didn't stop there. Not only did I collect Peanuts` snow globes, but since 1993, I collected just about every Peanuts`/ Snoopy item I could afford. I bought hand signed drawings and pictures by Charles Shultz from a local art gallery. They have doubled in value with the passing of Charles Shultz in 2000. Another reason for their value sky rocketing is the opening of the Snoopy museum. The museum is buying everything they can get their hands on making mine more valuable. I also have limited edition fine art prints drawn by Tom Everhart. If you haven't heard of him, he was the only person Shultz authorized to draw his Peanuts` gang. On May 17, 2001, they released the Snoopy stamp from the Post Office. I have 200 stamped envelopes with Peanuts` characters on them cancelled on the first day of issue from the Santa Rosa Post Office, the home of Charles Shultz. Before they issued the Snoopy stamps, the Post Office hung giant signs to advertize the stamp. The stamp is a picture of Snoopy as the Flying-Ace, flying his dog house. I have one of those Post Office signs framed and hanging up. I have die cast Nascar 1/24 Peanuts` cars signed by Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon, Nascar drivers. The list goes on and on. I have one whole bedroom for just my Peanuts` collection to show off. Most of my collection is actually in storage. I have 100's of toys I've bought over the years. My favorite toy is a 1969 Official Wilson baseball signed by the Peanuts` gang in mint condition with the original box. A rare find! and...what's a Snoopy collection without a 5 foot stuffed Snoopy holding Woodstock. Well you get the picture. I love my Peanuts` collection. I'm always looking for that rare toy or signed drawing. What do you collect? What was your first item you got?

I actually just recently started collecting salt & pepper shakers. When I was growing up my mom collected them and when she offered them to me years ago because she was "cleaning house" I said no thanks. I could kick myself because recently she and I were talking and I commented on how I used to LOVE those salt & pepper shakers when I was little, as each month she'd pull them down from the shelves and dust them and I'd help. We started talking about the ones she had and such and it just got me to thinking, heck that's a cheap thing to collect and fun. So I collect different ones now. Most are "old", but still in good condition, I even use most of them because I want to enjoy them. My mom laughed at me when she saw what I was doing. And now she helps me collect them too. Not that I have a lot yet, but I have a feeling when garage sale days get here in PA I will have a lot more added on! LOL

Thanks for a great convo!

I'm not sure you would call it a collection in the sense that you are referring to, but I've been working on accumulating as many items as possible relating to my family's history. I've got an album full of 100 year old postcards, a few old letters and I'm getting more and more photos all the time. That's the closest thing that I've got to a collection... tangible pieces of the lives of my ancestors.

When I was a kid I collected comic books, for years I collected them... Then Ebay came along and I sold most of them and made good money,, but I'd love to have them back. Now I tinker around collecting coins but I miss my old x-men and spider-man books,,, Im talking original 1-100 classics
