I had a phase when I started to resurrect previous memories, mid life semi crisis maybe. It was about 15 years ago and I started to re-collect tea and also cigarette cards, they are collectable but of no great value. I have sets which are ones that my old man gave me from his youth when I was a lad so I guess a bit nostalgic. probably part of the ageing process. I haven't bought any for quite a few years now but still have my sets of stuff like old 20/30s cars, locomotives, gardening hints, Brook Bond sets etc etc. Bit anal but interesting historical items for when for example the grandkids want to know what vinyl records ( I actually bought a 45, Telstar by the Tornados my first record purchase and can't play it ) where and what it was like in the old days eh 60's onwards. Kids eh. Pokémon cards will or are the new collectables I guess. Bit like building a Westfield when I wanted a "7" style car as a yoof in the mid 60's £970 complete but couldn't afford it. Got one now though. Haha
Went up the Shard last week, bucket list job, bit pricey but done now.
Bob just a big kid at heart. :d
