If it has to do with Daredevil comics, I gotta have it. When I went in today to pick up the latest issue, the comic shop guy had a couple of presents for me:   These are little two inch tall figures that are used in a game that I do not understand that has to do with all the different "powers" the superheroes have. But I do collect the DD related figures.  |

But I do collect the DD related figures. Heroclix! Ha! Sadly, yes, I know the game, and I used to know the rules, and once my best friend and one of his friends roped me into playing. I do believe I was ultimately killed off by a flying air conditioning unit thanks to Magneto... Ah, memories. Great figures, DD, and since it looks like they're slightly larger than normal, that usually means they're also more powerful. And you've got both version--highly collectible! My best friend used to spend oodles searching out powerful figures. Congrats! --GB |

I think I would call these random items that I would never part with. I've been a Star Trek fan for a long time and one of those "crazy" people that have attended conventions and had the chance to meet quite a few of the actors and actresses and now have a very nice autograph collection. Favorite autograph that I have would have to be the one of Brent Spiner since Data is my favorite character of all the series. Also, have Brent Spiner's cd Ol Yellow Eyes is Back along with the 1776 soundtrack. Here are a couple of the autographs:    Kinda Star Trek related. After seeing Shenandoah in Washington, DC and the picture was one I had taken the previous night.  |

The latest random item I just had to have was Heisey's Floating Wood Duckling:  This little guy was made from 1947-1949. The reason I "had to" have him was to keep his brother, the Sitting Wood Duckling, company:  |

One reason I was posting so late yesterday is that I went to an antique show earlier in the evening and bought this:  What the @#$%^&* is that? you may ask. It's a floral block, used to make a flower arrangement in a floral bowl. The holes on the outside are for the stems of the flowers. You put a candle in the candleholder insert in the middle, and voila, you have a lovely flower arrangement with a candle. The piece dates to the late 1920s, when people apparently had the time to do such things. One of the things I love about collecting is the glimpses it gives you of the way people used to live. This is not to say I would have preferred to live in the past, just that it's interesting to see what people's lives were like then. |

Mlm, that is absolutely lovely and the color is beautiful . . . I'm envisioning it with palest peach roses.  You're probably one of the few people I know who actually knows what an epergne is!  |
