<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OneOffPoster, post: 865670, member: 11817&quot;]So we all know that a 30 year old computer isn&#039;t really a highly sought after collectible.&nbsp; This is different than a 50 year old car because the 50 year old car has a cool factor and can operate on a modern roadway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But what are your thoughts on rare <b>memorabilia </b>(not the actual technology) from iconic technology companies (Think: Google, Oracle, Microsoft, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>For example I often see old Bell signs and other memorabilia at antique stores and they seem to sell quick.&nbsp; Through my work with companies like Google, Oracle, and Amazon I have acquired some really neat items that aren&#039;t mass produced for available for sale (basically they are promotional pieces for people who give talks, contribute to research, etc but arent necessarily employed by those companies).&nbsp; I provided a picture of one such piece ( a pin ) that was given to me by a niche department of Oracle for contributing to a invite only UX research panel at their yearly open world convention.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think there were maybe 50 of them made, possibly less.&nbsp; Any thoughts / speculations on the the collectible aspect of a piece like this say, 50 years down the road?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/38ob4iT73GMdAx2t7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/38ob4iT73GMdAx2t7" rel="nofollow">https://photos.app.goo.gl/38ob4iT73GMdAx2t7</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
