Jumping off the cliff, selling Vintage and Soft Cell's Memorabilia



Well here I go. I have committed myself in deep here by arranging to start selling items at a very nice Flea Market on Sundays. Something I never thought I would do was going and set up. I am a consummate buyer of items of Vintage and now it’s time to start paring down the pile to only certain items of memorabilia. I love that word Memorabilia. The first time I heard the word was in late 1978 in New York at The Mudd Club while I was careening around the dance floor. I Bought the Import Single before returning to Michigan and played it for all in those deeply intoxicating days. The words fit me well as I had in the earlier year started collecting Vintage Clothes and Furniture.

And so it starts with the picking and choosing if the items of memorabilia which I will keep, gaze upon, covet and then pass down to my children. It’s exciting and violating to say the least, but I have a month to wade through boxes and storage areas to begin the dance of selling my Memorabilia.




Soft Cell - Memorabilia

part of the lyrics............

I collect, I reject
Memorabilia
Memorabilia

I like little bits of glassware
Ashtrays with inscriptions
Plastic things on pencils
Bits of mass production

Postcards, pretty pictures
Little bits of plastic
Covering up the bedroom
To show you I´ve been there
To show you I´ve been there
