copper penny collecting

For the last couple years or so, considering the sum total net worth of all my collectable's is more than likely in the negative side of a number line, I learned that 1982, and dates under were made of 95% copper, and I read that as of now a copper penny is worth 2 pennies, so after extensive research I realized it may be wise to hold onto the old copper pennies I often come across. I guess the ultimate value depends on if the government lifts a ban that placed on the melting down of pennies for the metal content. So for I think I will start getting all pumped up for yet another useless hobby that I can waste alot of my valuable time, and ultimetly money on for zilch, but hay why break the perfect track record I have of making 0 profit on my holdings, i.e my collectables, right? So happy hoarding for now.

G.I Joe collection $$$$$

There is this one particular item that I still believing may be worth at least a little more than what you originally paid for it. This item is the G.I Joe doll. Remember him, the kinda overly machismo action figure, with the cool velvety feeling hair? Well naturally this would need to be one of the childhood toys I should of hung onto. I once had around 20-35 of these babies at one time. The last I remember of those, was me and my buddy took turns torching each one of them with fire till they melted down to a complete rubber puddle. They may catch as I a price of $1500.00 in a healthy market.
