Taking a close look at my refrigerator, it's clear it belongs to a collector. And, that I like Pollo Loco. Some of these magnets I picked up here and there, because they happened to fit my interests.Chief here are the plastic DC magnets that I got as a kid. Very textural and bright, I bought these when I was a very young collector, and you don't see them much anymore. And who can believe they did a magnet of the Riddler? How cool. I vaguely remember they might've done the Penguin as well, and I'm always keeping an eye out for any I don't have.
There's also a complete set of Freakies magnets here. I'll be writing more about Freakies shortly, but basically they're cereal-selling monsters that completely captivated me in the early 1970s, despite their distinctly unappetizing appearances. You'll see seven of them on the fridge, that's all of them.
Now, I've got a spare Superman magnet (besides even the two you see here) and I thought it would be interesting to give it away to a reader here. So, I'll mail it to the first person who can correctly answer the questions below.
1) I count 9 different categories I collect on this fridge, including Freakies and superheroes. Please name five of the others.
2) I have two Superman magnets and two Robin magnets. Can you see why? (Hint: it's a collector thing).
Please send your answers to fancollectorgeek@earthlink.net. This is open to anybody, whether I know you, am related to you, or you live on the other side of the globe. I'll post in comments when someone has completed.
Enjoy!
