Shoeboxes And Whitman Plastic?

...Yes, the Union City jokes are well known, but I have to admit, I loved it. Mayberry RFD does exist in real life. I could even leave my doors unlocked and I lived on the main street in town - yes - in the 90's! I also could be in a legit, large patch of woods just 2 miles down the road. Couldn't beat it.

Its also close enough to the Canadian border that I could collect a lot of Canadian series just from pocket change. I also miss it.

And, BTW - Phx is sure the opposite end of the climate from the Snowbelt! But at least it is dry heat.

Funny how we both would like to be back in that arctic-like area!

next task......get a safe for safety for those that don't want to keep things in the sdb or trust the govt

Carl,

My collection is relatively small and inexpensive (my most valuable item is a 1922 Peace dollar), but dear (95% of it has been handpicked out of my drawer at work). I'd estimate I have maybe 300 items, MAX. When I say "a shoebox," I mean exactly that--a ladies' shoebox (to wit, it once held a pair of size nine Keds). I keep all my supplies in a second shoebox because I need the space for coins. God forbid, in a fire, it's nothing I can't stand to lose--I have other things more important and far less replaceable (my grandmother was a painter before she died and many of her vases, dolls, etc. are in my home) that I'd be fleeing with.
