Things you have kept for value later on

[Lightning McQueen]

After reading Gadj's comment on the new vegemite thread, I thought I might see what other people have put away to see might be valuable one day.
I have a carton of Port Power 2004 Premiership Beer glad-wrapped to see if it will gain any value, at this rate we wont win another one for fifty years so it might be worth something one day.
I remember drinking a carton of Duff beer with a mate and joking about how long they will last on the shelf, who's an idiot now.

Dunno if Port Power beer would sell mate as I heard it went sour in September 2007.

It's undrinkable after a year anyway, at least it provides proof that they did win a premiership.

[Strawb]

i got the premiership flag the addy released put away after they won the flag. I got a Jim Beam mirror celebrating the distiller series on my wall,

[Mythical Creature]

Not sure if these are of much value but have kept these two none the same

- The esky and all of its contents from the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney Olympics
- First edition of McGuinness/McDermott Adelaide Monopoly still boxed and sealed

[gadj1976]

Funny, thinking about it I have a heap of 'For Ron's'

- 80's state guernsey (not worth much)
- lace up Sturt guernsey from the 70's (not worth much)
- a Sturt metallic mirror thing (not worth much)
- Bradman commemorative coin, I think it was a $10 coin (not worth much)
- 1986 commemorative Jubilee coin, I think it was a $5 coin (not worth much)
- old yo-yo's, dunno what value they hold
- a toy Batman car with trailer and boat, probably valued in the hundreds now
- an old jukebox from 1973, working (valued at about $800, bought for $300)
- a Hankin tabletop machine, working (worth approx $4k, bought for $800)
- two consecutive numbered $2 notes (no idea what value)

Just for starters.

When the Roos toured Adelaide after the 99 premiership I got 3 WEG posters signed by Norm Smith Medalist Shannon Grant and Adam Simpson...1 I framed and sits proudly on the wall, the other 2 are tucked away, never know if we dont win one for years it might be worth something

Got some of the Coopers cans comemorating the 36ers chamionship wins

Got a heap of other stuff that Ive bought at auctions for charity - dunno why I bought them at the time

[Footy Chick]

A 200ml? old style bottle of Diet Coke with Lemon - which was only on the market for a short while in cans and even less were made in the bottles (designed specifically for cafe's)

NFI what it's worth to a coke collector...

[scottroo]

have a penny from every year from 1920---->1940, someone said could be worth a few hundred dollars but never really checked

[Choccies]

If you have a 1930 penny you are a very lucky man scottroo because even one of those in 'average' condition is worth well over $20,000. One in mint condition could see you sitting on something around $200 grand plus !!

I have most of them too (thanks to 13 years working at the RBA) and quite a few from the late 1800's as well but none as valuable as the '30...sadly...

[scottroo]

haha it was a joke, i wish i did have one

[Psyber]

I've got a 1907 violin made and signed by Paul Baily in Paris.
I paid $690 for it in an Adelaide music shop in 1979 - the last one sold in London by Sothebys several years ago brought 5000 Pounds.
I'm waiting for our dollar to collapse before I consider selling, or may take it with me when I visit the UK and sell it to fund some of the trip.
Also have a first edition bound collection of Charles Dickens "Household Words" - about $600 in 1979 too.
I have no idea of current value.

Paul Keating, of course collected antique French clocks...

[Pag]

I've got the complete collections of AFL Cards from the 1994, '95 and '96 seasons in folders, cards in mint condition.

[Dogwatcher]

Are all of these things stored in your den Psyber?

[bayman]

what would a miniature cricket bat be worth seeing it was a world series cricket product with the players autographs on it ?

[whufc]

I have the CDFC first premiership poster signed by every player and coach including the late great Daniel Hulm.

I'll give you $100 for the 1930 one.

[aceman]

I've kept the wife, only 'cause it's far too costly to trade her in. Her super is huge!
