Memorabilia

August 28, 2008

I started collecting memorabilia when I was a teenager and would save magazine articles, videos and other assorted products from my favorite TV shows. But now, being a pack rat has paid off because many of these items are worth a lot of money.

Now I find myself buying and collecting items from today’s popular TV shows. Television programs that are cult hits are the focus of my memorabilia collections. Not only is it fun to research, search for and buy promotional items and products from these shows, I also enjoy carefully preserving things like magazine articles and even newspaper clippings so they will be in good condition in the future. I see this as not just a hobby, but also as an investment in my children’s future. Complete sets of carefully-preserved memorabilia like mine will be worth a lot of money one day, and I can leave these memorabilia sets to my children who can sell them one day, if they wish.

I was glad to find other people who enjoy collecting antiques and memorabilia on http://www.iantiqueonline.com  I can get tips on where to find more items for my assorted memorabilia collections and also see what other people like to collect. It’s a good site for any memorabilia collector.

So here’s the question: Is there another foreign currency market out there in the antiques business that is more lucrative than US Coins?  Read more at www.iantiqueonline.com
