Reading this thread...I'm thinking, sheesh this will probably be me in 20 years as well with all my random tubs of collectibles I just buy and never display. Yikes
Yeh - I've still got a couple (!) of posters that came in tubes and have remained in pristine condition ever since (and I'd probably get less now for them to boot) - the laminated Max Headroom posters (all six feet of them and my Doctor Who - Prime Computers posters are the only ones I'd keep and the rest I'd get rid of if/when the big sweep ever occurs.
...goldbacks...
Goldbacks? As in U.S. paper money "redeemable in gold" from the 1920's and 1930's ??
