* I confess I sometimes get a little depressed realizing that a life
span is nearing its end - vs. being in the beginning or in the middle
- during heady days when I cared less about the time unfurling ahead
of me - and more about trying to OWN everything.
* There were "bumps" that caused me to downsize unrelated to aging -
e.g., wildfire evacuations and the crazy exercise of toting out my fav
framed one-sheets in less than ten minutes.
* But as decades pass and I realize my nostalgia doesn't line up with
the nostalgia of younger generations - the urge to purge - (vs.
letting your survivors cherry-pick through your stuff after you're
gone) - gets stronger.
* When you've liquidated a few estates it hits some of us that we
don't want to put our survivors through the hassle of choosing - and
then dumping things they know little about - to Goodwill.
* So I think I'm like a lot of people in that what I have left today -
has far more sentimental value than actual $$$ value - (or almost no
dollar value). Two things that pull me out of my funk:
1) Gifting things to younger adults who express an appreciation to own
movie memorabilia - thus giving them a gateway into a hobby that seems
forbidden to them now - and hoping that if it takes hold like it did
for me - it will grab them by the lapels and not peak for them - until
they reach their late 40s through their 50s, and...
2) ...selling things - knowing that a future buyer will give them a
good home - and will cherish them for however long they can - until
they themselves - like I did - decide to move on.
* So while there's an element of sadness about divesting - I am in
love with the idea of passing things down as a means of preserving
them well after I'm gone. And to feed my nostalgia - I can always look
at photos of what I used to own "back in the day." (See below.)
* I never got a chance to own any $$$ horror paper - simply because I
could never afford it. So I would say that my collection was likely a
"mid-tiered" one - representing titles I really loved.
* Another aspect of getting older and divesting - is I can now show "a
little bit" of what I used to own - without worrying about security
issues - esp. now that the "gold" is gone. My lobby card collection is
also gone but I used to own hundreds that aren't pictured here. -d.
P.S. - And almost everything I collected - with the exception of
Beatles memorabilia and comic books - I purchased from dealers who are
or were members of this very MOPO group! (With the probable exception
of the late Deke Richards and that couple who ran That's
Entertainment" in PA - from whom I scored some incredible prizes! I
can't believe I've forgotten their names. Does anyone remember who I'm
talking about?)
