Memorabilia

Do you collect things? How much would you pay for something you wanted to have, that serves no purpose whatsoever, other than, you have it and no one else does. I have a smaller collection of beanie babies. I gave most them away. But I wouldn't pay hundreds of $$ just to have one that was rare. I also have a small collection of Funko Pop. I have all but a couple of Groot. But again, the few that I don't have are $40 and $90. I just like them. I didn't buy them for an investment. Some people have whole garages stuffed with toys and games, in boxes, brand new, that they buy and hold onto in hopes that they'll be worth a lot of $$ later on! I guess if I had a ton of expendable cash, I would probably spend more on art. I saw "a list" of the most expensive celebrity/movie memorabilia ever sold.

* The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car sold for $805k in 2011.

* Julie Andrews 'Do-Re-Mi' dress fetched $1.3 million in 2013. 

* Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball sold for over $3 million.

* The Maltese Falcon statue sold for $4,085,000 mill in 2013

* Ripley's Believe It or Not bought the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang happy        birthday to JFK, for $4.8 million in 2016!

* Robby the Robot!!! I loved him! You know, from Forbidden Planet? $5.3 million at a 2017              auction. I'd rather watch the movie - he was alive in that!

* The most expensive guitar ever sold at auction was Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged guitar. A         whopping $6,010,000!!! Seriously?!

* Elizabeth Taylor's tiara went for $4.2 million at auction. 

Sorry, I just don't think anything a celebrity has, is worth that kind of money.
