Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

November 24, 2013 By Brian 10 Comments

Giving thanks…

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and I have plenty to be thankful for this year — a roof over my head, loving family, good job — you get the gist, but I think this is a more appropriate place to write about things I’m grateful for in regards to Cool & Collected.

The other day, I posted  a list of all the people who put their money forward to help me produce the first issue of the Cool & Collected Magazine.  I can’t tell you how good it felt to see that many people supporting me in this venture — both people I know and many that I don’t. Whether you chose to support me and my dream, or if you just wanted a magazine to read, you have my sincere gratitude and I hope that when you see the magazine, you are as excited about it as I am.

I really can’t say enough about the online community that we have going here. If I have a question about a certain item, I usually know who to ask, but if I don’t, I know that I can post it on the site or Facebook, and someone will usually step forward with the answer. This is such a powerful tool we have at our fingertips, and I am thankful for it every day.

Being able to virtually connect with folks far and wide has made the act of collecting a much more fun endeavor than it has ever been before, and I am a firm believer that when we combine our efforts and support one another rather than tearing each other down, the end result is pretty great. I am thankful for each and every one of you who has been a part of the League, and tweeted, retweeted, and commented on a your fellow members’ sites. One little comment can snowball into a long-lasting friendship — you never know!

I’m not sure what’s around the next corner but I am grateful to know that all of you are out there somewhere. Happy Thanksgiving!

    My hometown had a big storm on Monday that left hundreds of people without power. I’m very thankful for electricity, I’ll tell you that much!

    The collector community is absolutely a great one. It is one of the primary reasons I started my blog and associated accounts. There are a lot of good people who count themselves in this group and I feel fortunate knowing many of them even if it is not on a face to face basis.

    Now I feel bummed I couldn’t write an entry for this week! All those darn responsibilities.
