Neo-Geo.com Show and Tell

This thread is for items you like that you've attained. It can be anything you really like collecting. Just take a picture and put it up here. You can add more as you choose. Give some description of it to educate others, as I'm certain we'll find some weird stuff or really familiar things.

Mettlach german stein. I collect german steins. Mettlach is the most sought after of all steins, other then Faience pieces, Mettlach and Hauber and Reuther are really collectible brands. I only own two, and both have damage issues.. Mettlach was a German factory that existed and no longer exists. Each stein is rare, and some are rare runs and are unique. I like collecting random steins, and I may post my others up also.

I wish I could post a pic of classicmode.

this is my college degree. Note how they were too lazy to put what I actually got a degree in.
By itself a bachelors in Psychology is pretty useless. Hence I'm in grad school.
I have long fingers.

Just since I always meant to show this to LWK and because I can't think of anything else to show besides for some beer that I'm sure no one cares about.

Love that shit.

Goes well with my facsimile copy of the Dunlap Broadside of the Declaration of Independence.

I also hope to put a facsimile copy of the first edition printing of all the Federalist Papers in the mix. But that one is 200 bucks.

1999 Liefman's Goudenband. Fantastic beer that is still holding up. Still have 5 left.

Bubblegum Crisis OST? Nice!

Yep. It's hard to believe I bought all those CDs in the early 90s now. Still as new as they day I bought them from Nikaku Animart and Laser Perceptions.

I guess the only other thing I'm still stoked about is having had the foresight to snag this up...

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5866/sor2.png

at the comic book/Japanimation store (then called Excalibur Comics, now Dragon's Lair) in 2000 the minute I saw two copies behind the glass counter, just having that odd feeling it be out of print before long. Up until then I had clamored for this OST having only seen a single pic of the original JPN release in '92 in one of the EGM issues in a side bar. Though that picture had a picture of the Tokyo skyline at night with the words "Bare Knuckle II" in red font.

not much else to show, unless ppl want to start seeing sex molds and future bang doll purchases (non inflatable) :tickled:

I have a pair of pretty cool, mounted wall maps (USA and The World) that I use map pins on, but this is much easier to read and has better detail:

I got this from my ex-girlfriend in college. Her sister worked at Columbia House back in 2001-2005 and in the late half of 2002 they were releasing Steal This Album and as part of the promo, a bunch of these lithos were printed up and then signed by the band and she was able to procure me one. Still one awesome gift.

Why does Eddie have two names for a middle name

I wish I could share something but I don't have anything that anyone here would care about.

Matthew is my "real" middle name. George is a name everyone in my family has somewhere, so I got it too.

Its crazy seeing turbografx. I remember getting my TG16 on a whim as a kid totally out of the blue. Who knew that many Hucards would be crazy expensive now. Its almost as cool as my memory of prank calling gameland and asking for the game 'pentagram stars'. I hated that it was such a killer local hook up, but they would photocopy the manuals, and half the time you wouldnt get boxes. Funny enough, gameland was like the first place I bought a neo-geo game. Which was a loose fatal fury special Neo-CD. Funny enough, it was one of my favorite purchases in history, up until a few years back where I bought a complete version from Big Bear on the cheap in perfect condition. Good times.

My grandfather's brother's initials are AER, but he died when my grandpa was young. So my grandpa named his son after him, and in turn that son gave me a first and middle name which resulted in AER as well.

it could have been worse. I was the 15th member of the family to have "George" in my name somewhere. My dad wanted to honor that by legally making my name Alexander Mathew George George George George George George George George George George George George George George George Gomory. It did not happen, but would have been funny none the less

Let me know how it turns out if you don't mind. I'm crossing my fingers they still have some up for sale. The guy seemed to have a backlog of them in late '05. Hope you can procure some.

We're a dysfunctional family here, and thus I help out in anyway I can.

END OF LINE

I have 2 signed posters of Soilwork's new album. One of them (the one in the pic) has a smudged signature. I can't tell if that happened because of the extreme heat in which the envelope was shipped in, or what, but I plan on framing the other, nicer one. In the picture there's a drumstick used in the recording of the album, signed by the band, as well as a guitar pick, which is signed by Peter Wichers. This is definitely one of the cooler items I have, especially since that album is by far the best one I've heard this year:

What are you going to name your song, Sage? Bolo? Tong Po?

nothing i'm particulary proud of, but some of you guys might dig it:

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/...463b8567_z.jpg

it's an iron cross letter opener that i found in the basement of an old folks home that i used to work at.

I like to collect autographs, so I thought I'd share some of mine...

http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/y...e/100_0543.jpg

I've always been a huge fan of Ralph McQuarrie and all his concept artwork, especially Star Wars and Star Trek. I went to a Star Wars Fan Days convention last year, and one of his partners had a booth with a ton of his work for sale and some of them autographed. Sadly, McQuarrie doesn't attend conventions anymore due to his age and having Parkinson's, so when I saw this concept art, I just had to have it.

http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/y...Picture001.jpg

Back in '93, my father got us season tickets to the Dallas Stars after they moved here from Minnesota. All I knew about hockey back then was Wayne Gretzky and the Montreal Canadians. After going to that first game, I fell in love with the game, and have been a huge fan ever since. Over the years, my father and I have gone to a lot of practices, events, signings, etc. This cap is signed by the Dallas Stars '93 through '97 teams. I even got Mike Modano on there somewhere.

http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/y...Picture002.jpg

This is the crown jewel of my collection. A few years ago, when Brett Hull still played for the Dallas Stars, my father and I went to a game. As usually, we got there early so we could get some food and get to our seats to watch warm ups. Well, after a while we noticed a line forming on one of the stair ways and that someone in the press box was signing autographs. I couldn't tell who it was from where I was sitting, and really didn't have anything to autograph but my Stars program. Anyway, I grabbed my program and ran up there, and holy shit, it turned out to be BOBBY HULL! The Golden Jet himself! A true hockey legend! I was so awe struck all I could do was tell him that it was a true honor and privilege to meet one of the all time greats! He must have thought I was crazy. He had the biggest grin and signed my program, shook my hand and gave me wink. I ran down to my father as fast as I could, and he couldn't believe that I met him. Really awesome time!

I need some of those 7800 pads too. I like my 7800, but I'm partial to the 5200 more or less, it just has better games. But I just need to pick up some of the homebrews from Atari Age sometime, I want that Pac Man Collection and 7800 Super Pac Man.

Good pics merc.

I like to buy coins, but I'm not a super serious collector just stuff I happen upon or if I find a good deal. Here's a selection of some older and slightly interesting stuff out of the thousands I have:

French Vichy note from 1943.
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6160/dsc03059.png

French 10 centimes from 1870.
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4553/dsc03074.png

English coin from 1792, this is a trade coin, kinda of like a gift certificate. Was legal tender, but only at certain stores. Has George III image on it to verify legal tender.

Dood what are you talking about (what's to be upset about?) that's fucking bad ass. I'd hang that on my bed room wall or some shit. It's a fucking THING that in and of itself cannot harm anyone.

LWK, any info you could give me about my stein, or any resources to help me find out more about it?

wish I had all my cds.
I eventually started seeing so many shows after awhile
that I would buy a tshirt to kind of remember I was at a show.
I moved onto cds later and would get them signed by the band.
nobody rolling stones famous, but bands I really enjoyed seeing.

It looks like a Mettlach. Take pictures of the bottom of the stein itself. I collect Hauber and Reuther, and Marzy Remy also, but that piece has tell tale Mettlach signs. In terms of a quality paint job before firing, that piece is solid. Mettlachs are almost always etched, in that case, it isn't etched, but seems like a good candidate to be a non etched Mettlach. If it has a little castle mark its a Mettlach/Villeroy and Boch. If there is no castle mark or numbering, it might be something else. Gimme the bottom mark and I'll tell you in a instant. Some situations are harder though.

Only stamps on the bottom say "Germany" and "1184". No marks that I recall. I'll give it another look over for anything else today.

I'll try to track another one down. I saw one on eBay ages ago and missed it in the bidding and fearing another may not show for a while just cracked and bought one for a good bit more from an online book dealer.

I don't know exactly when it was printed though, the only part on the inside pages that isn't 100% facsimile is a small stamp that says "Treasures of the Library of Congress - Authorized Reprint - Easton Press".

Careful though as there is an Easton Press version apparently also called the Treasures of the Library of Congress series that is in a blue leather binding with gold gilded edged pages. That one is a facsimile of the text but not a facsimile reprint.

This is a sketch of Daniel J. Darby from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures that was drawn and signed by Junichi Hayama, who is the character designer for the Jojo's anime. Met him in 1996 and he drew this for me after I asked him for it. He was surprised I didn't want a Jotaro Kujo or Dio Brando sketch.

Damn, you guys got some great stuff! I WOULD post my signature book but some weeaboo stole it two years ago when I tried to add to the list. I had some many people on that list and I know for a fact one of them i'll never get again (Martin Nodell, one of the creators of Green Lantern). I'll post when I get my camera ready to go!
