How off-topic can YOU get ??

Way off the beaten path, I collect radio and television broadcast tickets from the 1930s-1970s...that's the reason my screen name is "oldtix". I like the graphics and the fact that these tickets were once in the presence of the performers. Very few of the tickets were torn or defaced at entry, giving a very attractive way to visually remember the voices of the past.

Great stuff fell'ers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next to some of these, my Uzcudun's look main-stream

I remember last time this type of thread went, right next to Scott's AA books someone said they collected whiskey bottles, fun stuff.

David, knid'a freaky seeing a T3 Merkle in with you hula girls, because right next to me Uzcudun's stands old Fred also.

Hey Rick, ever seen an old letterhead from the company that probably made many of those tickets you collect?

Beautiful, Dan! I've known of the company but never seen this before. Thanks for sharing it with me.

Still operating in Fort Smith too. How's that for longevity??

I'm sure someone else here collected this stuff or still do. When I was a kid in the early 1970's in Miami, at my school, FAMOUS MONSTERS was the in thing. This issue was the most prized one, #1 from 1958. Couldn't afford it as a kid. Got it in 1998 and when I look at it, reminds me of my elementary school days.
Also big then was Wacky Packages. We stuck them all over the place.
Anyone else on the Board, used to collect these?

I also collect Pre Columbian and Egyptian antiquities. You just have to be careful of provenance since there are so many fakes (like vintage cards) and there are also illegally imported pieces!
