Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

September 16, 2013 By Brian 23 Comments

This week’s assignment from the League: The Find

A couple of week’s ago, fellow League member Under Scoop Fire put out a call for people’s favorite garage sale find. You know I love a good garage sale, so this week’s topic for the league is going to piggyback on that USF post…

—

The find. What was your best/favorite yard sale or flea market find?

—

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

leaguelogo_smallOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Hey, new guy here, Found out about you guys from Top Hat Sasquatch’s post last week, so I figured I would throw down this week. Literally just got my site done, so the blog is a bit bare, but these posts will totally help with ideas for it!

    Enjoy!

    Some crazy stuff happening in life lately. But I don’t want to miss a League post. Forgive the recycled post.
