Miona<p>A bunch of Sanrio decks came in today, and they are cute~ 🥰</p><p><a href="https://toot.lgbt/tags/Sanrio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sanrio</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lgbt/tags/Cards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cards</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lgbt/tags/Collecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Collecting</span></a></p>
Miona<p>About two weeks ago I made a post about me starting a Queen collection. Since then I made a small start and I am enjoying it very much!</p><p>Why Queens? I didn't want to collect Aces or Jokers because that's quite common, and I didn't feel like collecting men~ 😛</p><p>There's a lot of great artwork on some of the cards, in both traditional and themed decks. For now I have a single binder, but as my collection expands, I will make themed binders. ❤️</p><p><a href="https://toot.lgbt/tags/Collecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Collecting</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lgbt/tags/Cards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cards</span></a></p>

Boris Kretzinger<p>I waited for around two years for this to get cheaper - well, "cheaper" as in still too expensive, but a range I was willing to accept. And here we are now: This framed game was given to High Voltage for the release day of "White Men Can't Jump" on the Jaguar by Atari. The seller had one for another game from High Voltage, but that went in an instant. Don't remember what that was, but this here is so obscure that noone wanted it badly enough, except for me maybe. Oh well. A nice collection piece and another small piece of Jaguar's history.

Leave them alone. Many artifacts have outstanding metal decoration using techniques such as filigree, repoussé, inlay, onlay, etching, and so forth. The artifacts get damaged, or dented and suffer other effects over time. If you repair an edge on a blade that took battle damage, you lose part of the history — the story — of the object. <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Collecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Collecting</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/collectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>collectors</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ethnography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethnography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/swords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swords</span></a></p>

I collect antique ethnographic edged weapons and there are strong opinions and varying approaches. There is a legit reason not to do anything; it preserves important indicators that help date objects and tell their story. At the other end of the spectrum, some collectors believe these weapons should be fully restored to their “as new” condition (museum quality). </p><p>I believe my role is to be a good custodian of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/swords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swords</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/knives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knives</span></a> in my collection as they pass down through time. I clean and stabilize (e.g., remove rust) as a first priority. I understand why some people want to restore; it can (but not always) increase market value. It is also true that there are many fakes on the market which have been artificially aged. That’s just wrong.</p><p>I’m interested to learn what other <a href="https://c.im/tags/collectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>collectors</span></a> think about this topic.</p>
