Saw 54/450 limited and grabbed it. Lots of googling and research has provided absolutely nothing. Anyone have an idea on the artist, value, or rarity?

Dug throught approximately 400 playboy magazines today.

Post image
241 Upvotes

For a few years I've been on the hunt for the January 1981 Playboy magazine. For the articles, I swear! There's a funny story in my family in which back in 1981, my grandma who was a catholic walked down to her nearby magazine hut ans purchased her first and only playboy. The interview within the Jan 1981 issue is with John Lennon. She was a teenager at the height of Beatle Mania in the states. We used to chuckle at the story from time to time. I know I can just purchase it online, but I like the thrill of the hunt. I got close today, December 1980 and March 1981. It's the closest I've gotten, so far in my search.

Hello everyone! I’m not a singer collector, but I came across this Singer 15- that I thought was cool. I can’t find anything on it being anything other than just a 15 or a 15- following another number. Was wondering if someone could just give me some info if the 15 just usually has a - behind it. Thanks for your help!

XL Vintage Glass Goblets

I have a set of six extra large glass goblets that I'm trying to find info/value on. I've looked but can't find anything except on reproductions. They belonged to my mom who acquired them from an estate sale in the late 70s. She was told at that time that were vintage and collectable. True, not true? The glass is 1/4" thick. The goblet measures 8"H x 5"W x 4.5"deep. There are no markings except for the seam. Thank you for any info you can give me.

Sports Illustrated magazines from mid 1970s-early 1980s, over 120+

Gifted a bin of approx 120+ Sports Illustrated magazines from mid 1970s-early 1980s. Looking for advice on how best to preserve them, possible pricing and worth.

Currently just as pictured sitting in a storage bin with an o-ring to keep out moisture, and no direct sunlight. I haven’t wanted to disturb them since after inspecting a few the pages are delicate.

Any suggestions please?

Help me identify how much these could be - assuming the have all the pieces which most do. Just curious if worth selling or holding on to. Got all of them at thrift stores over the years. Probably only about $10 invested.

Hey there,

My uncle got a huge music collection and in the 80s he bought these tin figures of the Beatles and the stones. There is no price tag and no company patch so maybe someone of you can tell me something about them?

Today we opened a 73+ year old tin of Player’s Medium Navy Cut

Thumbnail

628 Upvotes

Today the Central Alabama Pipe Club opened this tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco made between 1937 and 1953. I recently got my hands on this amazing sealed and swollen tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco, it is the only one like it I’ve ever seen. Most cutter tins from this era were 2oz, this tin is a 4oz. This particular blend was the flagship product of John Players and Son, produced for an incredible 132 years, originally introduced in 1883 and not shelved until 2015. This particular example is extremely swollen, a sure sign that the tin is completely sealed. The 73+ years of fermentation gases contained inside are what cause these very old tins to bulge. When I opened the tin I was greeted by one of the longest and loudest hisses I’ve heard from any tin (nice). The aroma inside was absolutely amazing, stewed fruits, plums, raisins, and brown sugar. The epitome of aged Virginia tobacco smells. The flakes are extremely thinly sliced, much more thin than the majority of modern pipe tobacco. It broke down very easily and loaded into the pipe with ease. The flavors that came through were similar to the smell in the tin, very fruity, very sweet, and very complex. This was another absolutely incredible up close look at an amazingly well preserved piece of British tobacciana. I will leave the links here for anyone who is interested in watching my videos on opening, and trying this amazing tobacco, don’t miss the hiss!:

1950s National Cash Register

I inherited this 1950s National Cash Register Company mechanical register after my grandmother passed. My grandfather owned an office machine sale and repair company, so I'd like to get it back to functioning order.

Are there any specific resources or communities reddit could point me towards on opening/working on these? It is complete, but the keys feel stuck and I don't want to hammer on it. I do not have the key to the drawer or I'd be posted a pic of the bottom too.

I'm a mechanical engineer so I'm comfortable working with complicated mechanisms and using tools.

I have a Sports Illustrated 1983 college basketball preview with Michael Jordan on the cover. It’s in very good condition except there is a small coffee ring that is slightly visible on Sam Perkins shorts. I have no idea it’s worth. I looked on EBay and the prices are all over the place. Any insight?

To open Transformers Grimlock SS Titan, or keep sealed for future business?

0 Upvotes

So I just got SS Grimlock Age of Extinction Titan at a great price on sale retail, and I’m really in the fence because I have wanted this one for a long time, and would love to add it to my collection (especially to have Prime riding him lol) but, I also intend to start my own business some time in the next few years, and I think having this on the shelf would be a cool piece of inventory. Will it hold decent value opened? Would love to discuss, thanks.
