Hi that is a Great Collection. I only have Red Wings Jersey and it is Sergei Federov.

I collect vintage audio tubes and tube gear - lol. Started in my early 20’s and have sold off much of the gear since then. Now I am focused on building a representative set of the key mono-blocs from the ‘50’s (the golden age of Tube Audio).
-Dynaco MkII’s
-Heathkit W5-M’s (restoration in progress) I sold my restored pair about 10 years ago. BIG mistake.
-McIntosh MC-60’s (should pick up a mint pair the end of the summer - already have them on hold with the seller)
-Marantz 8b’s - these are the holy grail ($$) not yet in my collection.
Oh yeah - I also collect old school car amps from the early 90’s.

That is definitely on my “must get” list. A white Nike Fedorov.

Just the monster jam ones. But they stopped making them a year or two ago, now spin master makes them. My son doesn’t even play with them anymore, so I’m stuck with well over 1000 trucks.
Have you seen these. They are from Germany - my step mom gets them for me. I am pretty sure you order them on the internet as well. The art work is commissioned from famous artists.
They are really cool.

They have pint mugs and shot glasses too.
Those are great. I try (tried) to keep it places I’ve been, but some of bars have pint nights, so I get them too. I’ll arrange them some day
I'm hiding all my Windy Crest pint glasses at DiD.

Impressive! I’ve got a small collection of Avs sweaters myself. I sure do miss that great rivalry we had!

After seeing this thread bumped again, I dragged up a few older photos of other parts of my collection.
The first three are from one of the more iconic anime productions, Cowboy Bebop:
Spike Spiegel from episode 18. It's missing a background as well as Spike's hand (he's scratching his cheek at this moment).
Jet Black from episode 5. The background isn't matched to the scene 1/1, but is appropriate as the actual scene takes place onboard the Bebop. What isn't obvious here is his right arm/sleeve is a separate cel on top of the rest. When I carefully lifted that, the cel underneath doesn't have the sleeve of his shirt colored properly. The production company must have decided it was easier to "correct" this by adding a new cel and re-shooting the frames as opposed to correcting the handful of offenders one at a time.
Faye Valentine from the penultimate episode where she's talking with Spike prior to her departure from the Bebop. This one is with the scene correct but reproduction background. Almost all backgrounds in the hands of collectors are copies of the originals as the originals would have been used for multiple frames in the finished production and are much harder to come by, especially matched to their cels.
All three of these are raw, unframed and show more than the frames seen in the final production. Most animation, particularly the earlier stuff, was created to be "larger" than the final version so there wouldn't be strange disembodied bodies or limbs floating over a background (Faye, above, is a great example... I'd have to watch the episode again, but I think you only barely see her navel at the bottom of the frame).
I'm still on the hunt for a good cel with Ed and Ein from Bebop, preferably both of them together. Those are properly rare birds, with either one of those two are not easy to find by themselves.
The second oldest piece in my collection, Betty Boop from the short "Judge for a Day" from 1935. Production drawing from which the final cel was created. The film is visible here:
https://archive.org/details/Betty_Boop_Judge_For_a_Day_1935
...with the frame above seen in the last 1/4 of the piece when Betty is asking the driver to get off the bus.
Just a few more from the collection that happen to already be on my phone.
(as before, many apologies for all the reflections in the photos. Shiny celluloid coupled with transparent packaging don't make for the best pictures.)

I am officially fascinated....
Like you, I had no idea this stuff existed.
I sense another rabbit hole.....
Your Pinball Machine collection is incredibly cool. Are they fairly easy to maintain?Pinball machines (and other arcade games and arcade related items to hang on the wall like original animation art of video game cartoons)

Hahahaa. Man, the Avs look pretty great these days. They’re on the cusp of winning a cup. (Every team goes through those playoff slumps before they bust through) Wings are still a couple years out - but with a super bright future. And yes, that was the greatest rivalry in sports at the time!

In the late 1980s, there was a Walt Disney shop in the Pentagon City Mall in Washington, DC, that sold animation cels from many Disney movies and shorts. I don't know how widely they were sold.
I bought one from "101 Dalmatians" as a birthday gift for a girlfriend who owned a dalmatian. Didn't get it back when we broke up, either.

Newer games are fairly easy to work on, but you need to know how to fix them (basic electronics, soldering, tinkering around, etc). Older games can be a pain to keep running
