          Awesome, love me some Angel Dust (especially the early stuff). Brainfever I've heard, but don't own anything from them, should get some. Seems like you have great taste!

          I have some older pics of some of some gems from my collection, though there's definitely more baddies that need to be added too.

          The entire Halford fronted Judas Priest main discography, minus Redeemer of Souls which I still gotta grab, as well as 3 live albums, one is a promo (that's the picture disc that looks like Screaming for Vengeance), and one 'Best Of' (the one with the samurai), and two copies of Rocka Rolla from different labels (the other is stealthily hidden behind the first).



          My entire 7" collection, or at least the majority of it, may have added a couple more since taking the picture.


          And a selection of favourites and rarities:

            I was collecting for a while, 1:18 scale F1 racecars of Jacques Villeneuve - I have almost his entire F1 career by Minichamps - but will be looking to sell these probably.

            My biggest collection is hockey cards, but I stopped collecting in the early '90s when the market was flooded. I have almost every complete set of O Pee Chee from about 1979-1995, including some pretty valuable cards (like rookie cards for Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and others). This is a collection I always wonder what I am going to do with long term.

            I also have various hockey related collectibles that I have accumulated over the years too.
            Would you ever sell your Gretzky, Yzerman, Lemieux or Roy sets?

                There's actually a large variety of those things!

                    My wife and I used to have one almost that big, but after making the jump to HDTVs and Bluray, we looked at the cost of upgrading even a portion of our collection and decided that it wasn't worth it to us and ended up selling/trading in a bunch.

                      Hell no it's not worth it! If I'm not watching matches of the game I play I'm pretty much streaming Netflix.

                      There's a bunch of Blu-ray in there, probably no more than 1/4, but it's freakin' hard to get rid of them in this age of all digital purchases being licenses instead of ownership unless you're willing to hack the files, which voids your license. I've considered ripping them all but it's a mountain of work. Might be the best option, though.

                      I don't know how the whole oxidation thing is going to play out on the DVD's either. It's my industry, so I'm probably positioned ok to handle it if there's an issue. Warner did something cool a few years back where you could send them a WB DVD and a couple of bucks and they'd send you the corresponding Blu-ray, which I did for a good number.

                      But no, in the constantly evolving world of Home Video, this I do not recommend.

                        Well you can use them for bookends.

                          That's a good idea

                            I collect miles on my motorcycle. I used to have a decent collection of handguns, but most were sold to buy the cycle.
