[The Devil's Bank]

100 Christmases all at once

So I'm done counting, there are 5400 pieces of equipment / uniforms :-)

[FNG]

And where are you planning to be buried? Kidding...

[MAP]

There are 3 helmets that will be put in my casket....Nobody is getting them. I have instructed my wife about it.

We can always dig it up David

Edit: I see FNG beat me too it.

All we have to look for is the "Big W" (for those of you old enough to remember the movie "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World")

Same with MAP Michael ...his wife will sell his collection for the price he told her he bought it for.

My youngest son has my secret "master list" with almost all the prices I paid, what it is, etc. etc. etc....so hopefully that won't happen. Plus it all goes to him anyway, so he can put a nice down payment on a house if he decides to sell it LoL!!!

good mind's think alike

or bad...

[dagger63]

yes, 7 Euro / part

'The only thing you can take with you is what you leave behind'

Like your reputation or love of family and friends.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

― Thomas Campbell


I found that attributed to Thomas Campbell, but virtually the exact same sentiment, maybe with one or two different words, has been attributed to a few others.

[BrodieBartfast]

Regardless of who it came from, it's a beautiful sentiment. And true, whatever your religious or spiritual beliefs may be. As long as we live on in memory, we are not truly 'dead'. To be forgotten is to truly die, and given how colourful and eccentric us collectors tend to be, that's not likely to happen in a hurry!
