A general discussion of collecting cool things.
A Collection a Day #47 – Superman and Batman, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. Here’s another “unintended” collection of mine. I’ve been collecting vintage Batman and Superman items and many of the items were produced for both characters. I’m pretty sure I could make a similar collection for Spiderman, but a guy has to [...]
A Collection a Day #41 – Batman in blue and gray, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. Well, I’ve managed to make it to 41 collections and now it’s getting tough not to recycle some items. You may recognize some of the vintage Batman items in this photo from a previous collection, but that’s one [...]
A Collection a Day #37 – Frame tray puzzles, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. Frame tray puzzles are another great thing to collect because they are inexpensive and don’t take up much room. These are the size of a comic book or magazine and can be stored flat or vertically. The graphics on these [...]
A Collection a Day #36 – Vintage Batman and Robin pinbacks, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. Collecting pinbacks, buttons and badges has been a popular hobby for quite a while. Political collectors are probably the biggest fans of buttons, but I’ll take Batman over Nixon any day. Pinbacks are a great item to collect [...]
A Collection a Day #23 – 1966 Batman toys, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. On January 12, 1966, the first episode of Batman aired on ABC. It’s amazing to think that the show, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, only lasted two and a half seasons, when you consider the enormous impact it had [...]
A Collection a Day #15 – Batman toys, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. I have this large shadow box that I have filled with small Batman toys, pinbacks, Pez dispensers, watches, and anything else that I happen to find that is small and related to Batman. I really like how this displays since I [...]
A Collection a Day #11 – Batman soap and shampoo bottles, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. Who knew that the Dark Knight was such a clean guy? Batman’s mug has been applied to just about everything in the last 40 years. I have collected these shampoo and liquid soap dispensers for a while and [...]
Do want a really bad case of Bat-envy? Check this out: Holy tin toys, Batman! And that’s not even all of them! Each of those Batmobiles would fetch hundreds of dollars, so my head is spinning just to see all of them in one collection. Hit the jump for more pictures of this incredible collection: http://www.66batman.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1275064508
A Collection a Day #8 – Oversized Comics, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. My comic book collecting days are far behind me. I still have a couple of long boxes filled with mostly junk and a few gems, but when I saw a stack of these oversized comics at a flea market not long [...]
Wait until you hear Batman’s voice at the end of this commercial. He sounds like Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lambs. Mego really knew how to sell some toys!
