We All Collect Something
Everyone collects something or other. Everything from LP’s to baseball cards to toys is a national pastime unto itself. For the devoted fan there are even huge conventions to attend.
In 1970 one such site, Comic-Con, was founded and has branched into the area of TV and motion pictures, too. Depending on the rarity and pristine shape they are in, some comics can bring in an immense price tag. The most costly comic book that sold for $1.5 million, was due not only to its being the first appearance of Superman, but it was also the first appearance of a contemporary super hero. This comic book was a 1938 DC Action Comic #1 created by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster. Under tight security, this is probably being shown in someone’s home or office somewhere.
Sports jerseys are another odd thing that is gaining notoriety in the collection arena. These are displayed in their jersey display casesat all sports conventions just waiting for their own convention. Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls red jersey from the 1997-98 championship is selling for $45,000, Mickey Mantle’s 1950’s uniform was bought in 2007 for $141,000 with the all time most costly being Babe Ruth’s uniform from 1933 that sold for $657,250. All dwelling in grand souped-up jersey display cases for the whole planet to view.
Lastly flags, which might seem a bit hard to display are one of the more odd collecting items around. Flags? Yes flags. It’s slightly less common than its cousins coin collecting and stamp collecting, but all flags, from all countries, from all communities and states around the world are valued in accordance with their rarity, age and shape. As with any hobby there are special flag cases to show these wonders in. Flag collecting even has its own vocabulary , and an honest collector would never use the word ‘pole’; it is always stated as ‘staff’ or ‘flagstaff’ and is always used with other words like vexillology, meaning the study of flags. Back in 2009, a Union Jack (Britain’s flag) that was flown by Second Lieutenant James Clephan at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 was bought for $600,000, giving this hobby a few big spenders of its own. Imagine showing that over your fireplace mantel in an amazing flag case for a conversation starter.
So remember, whether it is a comic book, sports jersey or flag, whatever you are collecting should be stored protected and clean, because you never know just how much they might be worth one day. One day, those flag cases, jersey display cases or comic display cases may be worth their weight in gold.
