Office Max is not my favorite place to shop for office supplies. But, I do have to share this awesome deal going on this week for anyone who uses the mighty Sharpie in their hobbies. I for one, use a lot of Sharpie markers for autographs. So if you are an artist, lover of Sharpies, or an autograph collector, you may want to find an ad, and stop on by an Office Max this week. Office Max is selling a box of 12 Fine Sharpies for $5.00, but if you have this special coupon that was on the outside of this week’s ad, it will make that mighty box only 1 dollar. Yes, that is right, $1.00. (Downer note: There is a limit to one box per customer). That makes each of those lovely black pens about 8 cents each. Woo Whoo! Score!

News: Disney buys Marvel!
Hi there fellow collectors;
I never thought we we would have such huge news! In case you have not heard....Disney has agreed to purchase Marvel Comics!
This is huge and there is lots of speculation on what changes will be made to Marvel, if any. One thing that is notable is that currently Marvel Characters are featured at Universal Studios which as you know is the Disney Park rival. So does Disney continue to let them have licensing to feature Marvel Characters, or do they pull the licensing when the current expires and create Marvel-land? Either way, Stan Lee is a very happy man.
Some Marvel die-hards are concerned that Disney will make changes that will destroy the collectible value of Marvel. But why would they change a cash cow that is working?
On the other hand, collectors should be excited as never toys might have new branding making the older toys more collectible and valuable. What do you think? Let us know.
We will keep you posted as we hear more.
Until next time, happy hunting!

Welcome to Ecclectic Collector
Hello everyone. Welcome to our blog. i wanted to introduce our collector's blog, the "Ecclectic Collector".
First of all, let's address our name...yes we know it is spelled differently. The correct spelling was taken in one of the forums which we will be accessing and we wanted to be consistent, besides :Why be normal? Most of us collectors are not normal, or at the least, misunderstood. Secondly, we liked the name as it really describes some of our collections (and it is fun to say). There you have it.
Now let's get down to the fun stuff by getting a few things straight. Collections do not neccessarily mean hording stuff. Most collections seem to get started innocently enough. My brother's key chain collection started when he brought back a couple of keychains froma vacation trip and he hung them on push pins on his cubicle wall at work. Pretty soon, everyone came back from their vacation and brought him back a souvenir key chain. Before you could say "Bon Voyage" he had over 100 key chains hanging on his cubicle. Needless to say, not much room for memos. It was time to stop the madness. He kept his favorites and gave the rest to my mother. She in turn took them to a restaurant/bar in Spain that had a collection of over a thousand and bestowed them to the owner. They all hang in a museum setting now.
Not all of us collectors are so lucky. Some of us can't part with things so easily or have someone to pass on our collections to. The only one of my collectionsI was ever able to actually give away was my insect collection which I imparted to my nerdy little cousin Louie, much to his mother's delight...NOT. I mean what was not to love about this collection of grasshoppers, dragonflies, roaches, moths, butterflies, bees, hornets, wasps, beetles, flies and spiders all captured humanely put to sleep so they could be beautifully displayed on their very own shiny stick pin?
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that if you don't have such avenues for trimming your collections, you become an antique dealer.
We are going to try to bring you interesting, if not just humorous, articles about collections, collectibles, and even about some collectors. We hope you enjoy our blog and invite you to ask questions, offer some suggestions, or even if you have input you would like to provide on other subjects, please feel free to contact us.
We will try to bring you weekly articles but sometimes if there is breaking news, we will send you some quick updates.
Until next time, happy hunting!
