		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who reads my blog knows that I&#8217;m a huge fan of the History Channel&#8217;s &#8220;American Pickers.&#8221; One thing that always aggravates me about the show is the lack of pop culture finds. Every now and then, Mike and Frank stumble across an antique toy or a vintage movie poster, but for the most part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I visit a lot of antique malls and indoor flea markets and it seems like the ONE item I want to see a little closer is always locked up in a glass cabinet. These places don&#8217;t have the shop owner in the booths so if you want to see something, or even just know the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every week I find myself in strange places, mostly frequented by old ladies with knitted handbags. Why you may ask? Well, it&#8217;s not because of their sweet perfume or blue tinged hairdos. It&#8217;s because I go where I can find old stuff, and antique stores, flea markets, and yard sales are where that stuff is [...]]]></description>

I just wish I had some deeper pockets because I would love to get my hands on some of the collections that have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hungry for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich all of a sudden. I just finished reading about a collection of old lunchboxes and it reminded me of my school days, swinging a Buck Rogers lunch box. I remember that the thermos would always break loose of the wire holder and would then crush whatever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This vintage Perseus figure from the original Clash of the Titans movie sold for $44.44 over the weekend on eBay. Add six bucks for shipping and that total was over $50.00. I&#8217;m not sure what this figure would have sold for a year or two ago, but I bet it wasn&#8217;t $50.00. Obviously, the best time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1981, Clash of the Titans was a sword and sandal flick that relied on corny stop motion animation. Today we get that dude from Avatar in all his 3D CGI greatness. So, the Friday Face-off asks, which Clash gets your vote? Harry Hamlin or Sam Worthington? The Kraken that looked like he walked off the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WalletPop recently ran an article titled &#8220;Vintage collectibles that aren&#8217;t as valuable as you might think.&#8221; Some of the items that made the list were fairly obvious, like old encyclopedias and National Geographics, but I had no idea that there was a huge number of fake arrowheads out there. And, alas, most of those old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The good folks over at Scoop recently put up an excellent article on collecting, &#8220;A History of Our Hobby and the Role of the Collector.&#8221; We think of each individual collector, with their information about the hobby, as an individual piece of a puzzle. When collectors come together, more of the puzzle comes together. And, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It might seem strange to see a post on Cool &#38; Collected about J.D. Salinger, but to a lot of us, the author&#8217;s Holden Caufield was the coolest person we ever &#8216;met&#8221; in our formative years. The Catcher in the Rye is a part of our pop culture, so we think it&#8217;s fitting to mention [...]]]></description>
