Being a huge Beatles fan, of course I have tons of books, posters and T-shirts of them, plus other odd collectables.
But with a group like that, it is IMPOSSIBLE to collect everything.
But, (This will come as a HUGE surprise to you all), I have really started to collect Martina stuff! And of course there isn't a HUGE amount like the Beatles or Britney or someone, so it is an obtainable goal. I have gotten several magazines off ebay, a 45 (yes, vinyl) collection off their as well, and a limited edition CD single of my fave song, Whatever You Say. All the bidding was courtesy of my good friend Kathyb!
Now I am looking on to more items. More magazines, more pics. There is a display that Martina did for ladies razors I am DYING to get my hands on!
Lemme know if you see any Martina stuff in your shopping!!
Who do you collect?

I collect as much Judy Garland and Bette Midler stuff as I can get my hands on, which isn't much right now. But I'm working on it.

Wow, no I didn't know there were comic books from 78 from them! I have that "Unauthorized" set from the 90s I am sure you are familiar with, I know they had Kiss ones. |

For a while, I was trying to find Dennis Wilson stuff. I have a few things, like the People magazine that came out after he drowned. I also have a great biography on Dennis called "The Real Beach Boy" that came out a few years ago. I don't really go out of my way to find stuff, but if I see smething I'll pick it up.
Of course, any Beach Boys bootleg I HAVE to have, given the incredible amount of unreleased material in their vaults!

Yes I have the unauthorized Beatles set and a few of the KISS ones as well . The Marvel comic is kind of cool - it tells the history of the band and has a few articles in the center . It's not comic book size but rather the size of a magazine. |

Well Sat, as you know, I'm a big fan of several female artists, and I'm always scouring flea markets, thrift stores, and especially Ebay, looking for unique and different items to collect. Most of my stuff has been found on Ebay. I've bought several Melissa Etheridge items from there--a couple of posters, some import CD's, a limited edition vinyl album, a "floaty pen", bumper stickers, even a deck of cards with her name, and a silhouette of her playing guitar on the back of the cards. I've also bought some Pat Benatar and Joan Jett items from Ebay as well. And I have several books and other things from my childhood and youth that I've saved that have to do with Linda Ronstadt and Bette Midler. And I'm always on the lookout for tapes and DVD's of concerts and other performances (TV, radio, etc) from any of those artists. I also have several teen magazines that I've saved over the years from when I was a big fan of David Cassidy, Donny Osmond and Bobby Sherman. (sigh!). Ok..was that a long enough answer? ;D |
