Last week, the League of Extraordinary Bloggers‘ hit the road with some pop culture destinations in mind. This week, we’ll be visiting an old friend once more as Hake’s Americana & Collectibles is kicking off their latest auction on Tuesday, June 24. Hake’s will select one participating blog from this assignment to WIN $100 to use in this auction or in a future one! Your assignment…

Hake’s Auction #212: Go on a fictional shopping spree at this incredible pop culture auction.
—
Note: Hake’s has given League members permission to reproduce any of their images on our blogs for this challenge, so you can load up your site with amazing photos of pop culture collectibles. Also, since next week is a getaway week with the 4th of July, this assignment will be up for two weeks, which will give you plenty of time to search through the Hake’s catalog for inspiration!
Once you put up a post on your site, add a comment below with the URL so everyone knows where to find it. Remember to include links to your fellow League members in your article, along with a League logo and link, so other bloggers can learn how to join in the fun.
Blog karma is a good thing — by cross-posting like this, we will help send each other new readers, and receive a few in return. If you would like to join the League, all you need is a love of pop culture and a blog. Come join the fun, and tell your friends!
UPDATE! Congratulations to AceDuck for winning this challenge. He gets to go on a real-life shopping spree at Hake’s (with a limit of $100).
I already won once so I am sure I am disqualified so instead I will share my own experience with Hake’s. I love their catalogue when it arrives in the mail. Put yourself on their mailing list even if you never get any of their quality collectibles. Everything is certified authentic and is often museum quality. I treasure the Shadow Movie Ring.

Hey Cal, just because you won in the past does not preclude you from winning again. Feel free to try again this time around if you like!
Well then lets call my last post my entry then. I am honest. They treated me right and I was very happy with my Shadow Ring. It’s a real honest to goodness collectible. Like a museum piece. And I have the paperwork and complete packaging in mint condition to prove it…all for six dollars with my gift certificate. Acquiring a piece in that way is unforgettable.
I had fun doing these weeks assignment lol. Also I missed last weeks, do to me getting a new job. Figured I’d make up for it this week! Can’t wait to see what other people post.

I’m in! http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/2014/06/league-of-extraordinary-bloggers-hakes.html
I never win anything. And I am cheap. I looked over their Mego selections…WHOA! I just do not do stuff MOC. To pay for that is crazy.
Time to get back into the swing of these League posts! Also would be a good time to introduce my new pop culture focused website, check out the post and new website here: http://www.nostalgiamonster.com/2014/06/league-post-hakes-auction/
Also worth noting crookedninja.com is still alive and well but it is just going to be TMNT focused from here on out.
Here are my picks from the auction.
