Drelmanes: What happened with your Baldur's Gate disc 1?
Nice collection you have there, GoJays!

GoJays2025: Thanks, but that disc is there, right beside Armed & Dangerous disc 2.
I tought I saw Baldur's Gate I disc, below Armed & Dangerous, but it's BG II. The solar light in the plastic makes a bit hard to see the roman number two.
this thread is AWESOME!! i love old stuff, my favorite things in the house are my sofa and a wurlitzer organ :D

So please post more awesome stuff!

the_voivod: Here we go, I finally got around to take a photo of my 1561 Elizabeth I sixpence coin :).

Sorry for the lesser quality - my camera is about five years old.

or are they even rare?(i have absolutely no insight into the world of coin collectors at all! :p)

the_voivod: Still, I usually keep it in a small plastic sleeve because I'm scared I'll accidentally drop it behind the sofa or something. That'd be the most expensive find ever for somebody, eh?
Expensive find? it would be a tragic loss! i mean, it's been around for a half millennium!
lol, i'm a bit of a romantic when it comes to historical things, so i can understand that you want a coin that has actually been used
I have these wool field pants and shirt from the early 50's that look brand new. They were what they gave the army in the 1950's. Incredibly warm and somehow invulnerable to everything, plus they are almost 60 years old and you couldn't tell. They might have magic powers.

I have an old, short sword that belonged to a family member who served during WW1, a couple of medals from other family members who served in both. I would have more but my grandmother was a stupid bint who dumped alot of it.

This sofa is very cool, and the instrument isn't bad either!
Thanks for the compliment! : )

I would like to see more posts here.
I have some prehistoric fossils. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to show because I left them in France. I don't even know if I would be allowed to take them with me the next time I'll go there. And now that I'm thinking about it, I would be nice to have some decent pictures of them. Hm...
Awesome stuff I had, but don't have anymore:

1) Gold nugget the size of a big man's thumb. No really, it was worth more than the gold value based purely on its size. I inherited it from my grandfather who owned a pawnshop in Gnome (he had some very cool stuff). My parents hocked it when they needed money, all us grandkids had one.

2) MTG cards, mostly Unlimited and later, ex wife sold them and kept the money before moving out.

3) A pair of Schrade knives (lockblade and honking straight knife). I put them in my dad's gunsafe when I left the country for 2 years so they'd be "safe". He forgot they were mine and hocked them along with about 20 other knives that were even more irreplaceable than my own.

4) C64 with 1541 disk drive. Really, I wish I still had this. I think my mom sold it to a collector while I was at university.

Awesome stuff I still have (somehow):
1) A bunch of old movie posters from working at a movie theater, the real kind (double sided) including awesome cult favorites like Robin Hood: Men in Tights and So I Married An Axe Murderer.

2) A rifle my grandfather willed to me, as a favor a fairly famous gunsmith he was friends with restored it for me.

3) Almost every Crossgen comic book before they folded.

4) A bayonet that I don't know much about (could be as old as WW2, but I just don't know). It was from my grandfather; they gave it to me as a birthday present probably out of guilt for the other stuff.

5) Tons of old video games, even some old C64 boxes and titles (Zork III Dungeon Master is probably the most well known).

6) A compact 40 ton hydraulic jack that I use on my Saturn SL, lol! It beats grating your knuckles on the pavement with those cheap scissor jacks.

7) I still have my Voodoo 3: 2000 video card that I used to play Diablo 2. I kind of like the epicness of the fallen Voodoo line.
