Yeah. Unfortunately, in addition to collecting TFs, I collect gold coins. Spot price/oz. was $552 this morning. I have expensive hobbies

Expensive yes...but the items you collect appreciate in value over time...

Let your hobby worlds collide and get this:



It's a Transformer. It's GOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD. It's super-duper rare.

Started when Bush won his second term in office. The value of the dollar goes down, price of gold goes up. It's a hedge against inflation. Then I saw the pretty coins available, and started buying those too, paying for asthetics in addition to the value of the metal. My favorites are Chinese 1oz. Pandas (change every year) and Austrian Philharmonics.

I tell everyone, if you can afford it, gold is a good place to save your money long term.

Monk's the man. I've never met or seen Monk in the real world...but I did find this picture of him from back in his youth...it was posted online...he got in trouble with the law once...

the rare TF's...the gold-coin collection...it all makes sense now.

:crazyr:



:chuckles:

Ames in the real world is probably this guy:

I did actually take a cue from this guy and diversified into silver too.

I forgot I had pre-ordered that WST Dinobot. What's the hold-up? I want that thing here already! They should have made Grimlock first.

...

Since I've been posting the actual real world pictues of the people on this thread, I thought it would only be fair if I posted up what Andrew and I really look like:



I'm the one on the left. Andrew's on the right.

(I really hope that everyone here's not too young to know what I'm referencing.)
