Hey you... I got something to tell ya
Biscuit Hider
I'm cleaning up and found an old box with 90's magazines of the Franklin Mint. This is some weird poo poo for sale.

taHqeq!




Knives and bears together at last


Oof














Redundant but they've got a gently caress-ton of variations of these.




It's Eagle o'clock


The world's gauddiest scrabble, only 750 90's bucks


Enjoy this Jesus fabergé


I'll be first to admit, that's a pretty sweet plate


Finally bring the game at home!

Not that anyone had a high opinion of Franklin Mint merch, but apparently these "high-end" scrabble sets are pieces of poo poo and generally fall apart within a few months of purchase.

When I was a young beef, but still an ultra nerd and history buff, I had a subscription to a civil war magazine.

In retrospect, I'm not sure exactly what breaking news there was to be had about an old war. But I was a kid and learning history and so it was interesting to me at the time. ANYHOOTS check out this problematic thing that was advertised heavily in those old issues, of which sadly I have none to scan for your pleasure. This is not mine, neither I or my parents could have afforded such luxury.


or perhaps this

I could have sworn commerative plates were designed for the future of dining, that is you take your TV dinner out of the microwave put it on your plate sit in the living room and eat while watching a 12 inch TV from 6 inches away all huddled together while trying to make your noodles into different hair styles for Albert Einstein on your plate.

I thought it was just me. I remember seeing that Franklin Mint Monopoly advertised everywhere (despite the fact that I only read video game magazines at the time) and I never wanted something so badly in my life. I have no clue why. I don't like jewelry or even Monopoly. And we weren't rich. I was just obsessed with wanting that thing for some reason. I was probably about 9 or 10 years old.

I looked it up on ebay not too long ago and they apparently age like poo poo. The felt peels, the wood chips, and the gold oxidizes or something because every one I looked at looked terrible.

The allure of the 'classy' chess set is because it's the epitome of what an adult life should be but is in reality a parody of it. Like Frasier Crane.

I like the fact that the star trek chess board says its "approximately" 13 inches tall.


It's 300 loving dollars and it's a foot tall and you're only PRETTY sure that's about it?
