People would rather have art or gold instead of paper money.
I haven't been to Comic-Con.
I loved 'Star Wars'. I had the toys.
I've been watching 'Pawn Stars' every week for the last year. I like learning about the history behind the items that people bring into the pawnshop. I actually pawned a ring once that a woman sent to me while I was on 'Jerry Springer.' It was really gaudy.
Comic-Con fans are so affectionate, and it's always a lovely way to start a new season.
Even as a 10-year-old, I remember trying to explain to my mother and stepfather how upset and frustrated a messy room made me. But they just couldn't grasp it. They wanted me to be playing with baseballs and frogs while I wanted to be scouring garage sales.
I clean out my house weekly. I just keep a lot of silly little things that are meaningful to me.
I loved my childhood. They had the coolest toys back then. Star Wars, Transformers, laser-tag gun sets. Toy companies have really gone downhill.
I sort of collect watches.
I spend far too much time on eBay buying lamps and upholstery remnants.
Antiques Roadshow' is a public service. It reflects the nation back to itself, as does 'Question Time.'
I love going to flea markets especially when I am traveling, because I love seeing the stuff of other cultures, handicrafts and things with historical content.
I'm not really into 'My Little Pony.' I'm not a 'Brony,' just to clear that up.
Apparently the new high-tech Star Wars toys will be in stores any day now. The toys can talk and are interactive, so they can be easily distinguished from Star Wars fans.
I started thinking about this truck and why do I still have this same truck? After all of these years, why am I holding on to that? I just starting thinking about other things: guitars, boots and jeans. I just had a tendency to hold on to the things that have meaning to me.
I can put all the idols on my bed and sleep, I'm so fond of them.
As far as geek culture, I didn't grow up in the comic con geek culture lane, then I started doing Comic Cons seeing the impact of it. The character, Rufio living on.
I was always fascinated, even as a child, by antiques and ancient times. I always felt I should have been born in the 17th or 18th century. They really had a big stone castle with authentic furniture.
People still go to Comic-Con because they love comics.
It is not my fault that my parents own the world's largest collection of black Santas.
About 90 percent of the pieces in my home are vintage, and I'm a ruthless editor. I only live with things that I love. There is not one thing in my home that doesn't have meaning to me.
I had relatives who would go to Japan and bring back random stuff they bought at the airport or whatever - 'Ultraman' and 'Speed Racer,' stuff like that.
Anybody who knows me knows I'm a Marvel fanatic. I have Wolverine tatted on my right arm.
I'm a huge pin collector.
I have this routine where on Fridays I sign balls that need to be autographed. One time, after my fortieth or fiftieth ball, I looked over at my secretary and said, 'Who is Bob Stoops, anyway?'
