How Stupid Are They?

I guess.
Some stamps and coins have been found to be valuable due to errors in their production, too.

There was and may still be a serious collector market for name brand shoes and all of the special production ones that came out over th epast 30+ years.

It's the same silliness that pervades and supports the collecting of (fill in the blank) ____________________

I'm still scratching my head over the crowds that show up for peanut butter glasses and the money that moves there.

Well, there's still hope; at least, the Beanie Baby and Cabbage Patch markets dissolved away.

With a circle of 13 stars representing the first US colonies, the flag was created during the American Revolution.

Nike said it withdrew the trainers "based on concerns that it could unintentionally offend and detract from the nation's patriotic holiday".

"Instead of celebrating American history the week of our nation's independence, Nike has apparently decided that Betsy Ross is unworthy, and has bowed to the current onslaught of political correctness and historical revisionism,"

On Tuesday the trainers were selling for well over $1,500 on StockX, the online marketplace for trainers.

So now this flag is a RACIST symbol.

Are you sure? I still see the occasional ad for Hess Trucks, even on TV. Regarding Lladro, I haven't walked thru a dept. store for approx. a decade, now, so I can't say if they are still displayed or not. We have had a couple, gifts, but we also had our limit, with the two still present in the house.

People used to think that these were made out of gold...with actual real value...and they are just fake collectables churned out for the masses.

People really got caught up in that collecting craze. Beanie babies was ridiculous. Had a neighbor that bought every one she could find. And then McDonald's had small ones they put in their happy meals. People were lined up going through the drive-thru buying happy meals. Take the beanie baby out of it and through the rest in the trash.

Cabbage patch dolls. People were getting into fights over them at the stores. A couple of years later you could get them cheap. I bought one at an antique mall for the wife cheap. It had her name ( Nancy ) on it. That's the only reason I bought it.

We have one beanie bay we bought at a mall for a dollar, It's a wiener dog since we have a wiener dog.

About 18 stone?

Or what that a typo and you're a mess?

Hhmmmmm…….18x14 = about right. Clever lad.

Those are news, to me. When I was a kid in the 1960s, they were still making jelly jars to be re-used as drinking glasses. I'm also aware of depression glass. This was often given away as a premium, for buying a movie ticket.

I still have a bagful of McDonald's Beanie Babies. I remember having all the burgers put in one bag, the fries in another, and having carriers full of sodas! Oh, and all the Beanie Babies put in another bag. At our local Mickey D's, they had informal swap meets in the restaurant. Silly, but fun.

I haven't been in the scene awhile, but folks would gather around places that sold Hot Wheels just before opening time. Lots of talk, about recent acquisitions. When the place opened, we'd have to restrain ourselves from breaking into a full run, in order to get to the toy department first.

Holy fecal matter! Rufus knows about, may have watched, Game of Thrones.
This might be a sign of the apocalypse
