Yesterday’s post was about my grandfather’s passing. He was a movie man. He was known in the family for his wall of movies. I may try to get a picture of the wall next time I go to my grandmother’s.

Anyway, the whole family went over to her house after his funeral. I told her I wanted some of the DVDs as keepsakes of him. She let me get a few. I told her my brother and I would gladly inherit them if she chooses to move on from them. Currently, I don’t know if she has decided on keeping them, selling them, donating them etc. My brother and I want them to stay in the family, but she will have the finally say. He had a great collection of TV series like Smallville, 24, X Files, and Lost. I didn’t really get a good look at all the films he owned, but here’s what I landed on.

My grandparents were the first collectors I knew. He collected DVDs and my grandmother collected thimbles. My grandmother is the person who taught me about eBay and shelves to present your collections and such. So in a way, I blame my collective personality on them haha. I always knew when they passed I wanted to own parts of their collections. My grandfather even wrote his initials on a few of the cases so those seem very special. Its the only part of him I have left.

Have any of you inherited things like collectibles from loved ones who have passed away? I worked in a hobby shop where plenty of people traded in baseball cards, comics, you name it from loved ones who have passed away. But that’s a post for a future date.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Have a great day!
