This has to be mine. I had anticipated something to the toon of 10"x12" max, with his signature. Seller did not specify dimensions in his description and his photo was somewhat deceiving as it did not provide scale. Anyway, this is the collectible I am most ashamed of. It's signed by Gunther though, so that's cool

I see nothing to be ashamed of
I thought you were going to show us a beanie baby or something
I like it!

No Beanie Babies Landser. Just Cabbage Patch dolls....hehee remember those scary things!

They were hideous but I wish I had thought of it!

Tell me about it. They were the 1st doll to cross societal stigmas. Boys and girls alike could own, play and collect these things without the social ostricization. They made a killing on them. Do you remember in say 1983, parent would wait in line for hours upon hours to buy these things as Christmas gifts for thier kids. Unbelievable.

Anyway, this is another kinda of funny collectible I have. It's from Rota, Spain. These things were made in Toledo, Espania and a popular collectible for tourists, and military people stationed over there in the early 70's. Although not German, as a sword collector, they are quite appripoe. They can still be used during dinner parties...however inevitably they get tossed in the trash by guests.

I`m almost certain my parents have one that they brought back in 68. I`ll have a look next time I go over there. Maybe it will be a rare one that someone will pay a fortune for

Here's my most ridiculous collectible, for our Belgian friends, an ashtray featuring the Manneken Pis peeing on a swastika. Enjoy!

Another shot! Pretty lame hey!

Well its a close race so far but im going to have to give the edge to the peeing boy over the olive swords(or thats the only thing i could thing of to use them for).

Stephane, you forced me to show these Heres the cufflinks to match your ashtray. My wife has actually checked to make sure I wasnt wearing these when we've gone out.
