Dales Collectibles is Growing Steadily!

First of all I think it is important that I thank each of you who have visited Dale’s Collectibles whether or not you made a purchase I am very glad that you at least took some of your time to see what we are actually doing on our site.

I am sure there are those out there who are wondering what exactly we are doing with the site or why we are doing what we are doing. As the name implies this is a collectible site and as the site grows you will see different kinds of collectibles on it. Some will interest a lot and a lot will interest some but regardless it will have a lot of enjoyable things to look at and in some cases to learn about.

A big emphasis with Dale’s Collectibles is obviously vinyl records with a selection that covers years of music and untold numbers of artists. You will find that we have tried to give our viewers information about the records, the music and the artists. I know with the years I have spent collecting records there are more times than I would care to say that I hear a song or read a song title and immediately wonder what happened to that person or even what is the history of that person or group or even why was that song written, well in many cases we have included information that you may thoroughly enjoy reading as time allows.

Vinyl Albums

We know and understand that records are collected for many different reasons, but we also know that the motivation for collecting vinyl is a love for the music and the wonderful sound of vinyl. We are aware that some people collect one style of music, others collect music from a certain artist, a certain label, those who only collect 45’s and others who only collect albums and those who just love to collect. Well we are trying to cover all these and more, you will find a wide range of records, artists, genre, rare radio station copies and more on our site.

We are trying to add more vinyl every day, so the site is growing, and the choice is expanding so if you have looked for vinyl once don’t forget the selection is growing daily and might warrant your looking more often.  

In addition to vinyl there is a selection of CD’s for those who enjoy and even collect those. This assortment is also expanding frequently. The CD selection encompasses many different genres and equally as many artists.

For those who enjoy movies the site includes many DVD’s and yes even VHS tapes that may appeal to you. Both categories are seeing frequent expansion.

Beside the vinyl which we have said is really a focus of this site, we have a major assortment of NASCAR diecast cars, many of which are autographed by the drivers. The selection is wide and includes autographed collectibles from some of the greatest of all time such as Dale Earnhardt “The Intimidator”, Richard “The King” Petty, Jimmy Johnson, Cale Yarborough, Donnie Allison, Harry Gant, Jeff Gordon, Darrell Waltrip and a lot more. We have cars that have one autograph, some have two and even more while others are not autographed but great to collect. With any collection when stored properly and cared for while being enjoyed they increase in value. Of course, I realize that not all collections are created with the idea of building value. It is obvious that most collections are built from deep feelings towards what is being collected. As I am sure you are aware collections all get started somewhere for some reason, everyone is different and the reasons are equally different but the reality is the collection grows with you enjoying it.  

NASCAR DIECAST 97 KURT BUSCH

In the case of collecting NASCAR diecast most collectors have a love for the sport, have a connection to the sport, know someone involved in the sport or maybe someone just like the look of the cars. It really does not matter how or why you started your collection or what you do with the collection, how you build the collection, how you enjoy the collection. It is up to you but we have a site for the NASCAR collector to come find pieces that they may want in their collection, enjoy in their collection for years to come items they will enjoy knowing they have. This part of our
Dale’s Collectibles is growing steadily as well so if this is something that interests you, check us out and check us out often.

Going along with the racing theme we do have other collectibles as well, some already on the site some that will be arriving in the future. NHRA collectibles, trading cards, racing souvenirs, books and memorabilia are part of what we are doing.

We have some autographed NFL items on our site as well like Howie Long autographed Raiders Helmets, Peyton Manning, John Elway and Terry Bradshaw signed footballs. Items that NFL fans may enjoy.

By now I hope I have given you a good idea about our web site and how it is a go to site to find various collectible items, items that fit you and into your collections. Please remember we are growing and expanding with items that you may enjoy and maybe collect.

I hope that you will visit often and enjoy efforts and we will try our very best to always give you things that you will like, love and collect.

Thank you for your time,

Dale

Why Collect?

Record Collection

by Dale

I can assure you that because everyone is different everyone has their own way that they perceive and enjoy their collections. I think the important thing is that regardless what you collect, how you collect it and how focused you are on that collection, it is ultimately important that you find some time to enjoy those collections.

Collections of any kind can be fun, entertaining, time consuming and expensive. But the nice thing about a collection is you can be as involved in it as you choose to be, it is about how involved you want to be, it is harder for some of us to invest a lot of time in this passion but the time you do invest is completely for your personal enjoyment, the same goes for how much money you can invest in that collection and who does not understand that all of us have some form of budget that we follow and for good reason, but money spent on your collection is also for your enjoyment. But one of the real nice things about being a collector is that you have a collection to enjoy when you have time to do so. With a collection when you have some extra cash it can be fun and rewarding to invest in that prize collection. Remember enjoying a collection is not about the size of that collection, how much it cost but it really is about you and the enjoyment it gives you in return.

Vinyl Record CollectionIn my case I have been collecting vinyl records since I was a preteen. That collection has grown substantially over the years. I think I would be safe to say that my love for the music I have collected is strong and is probably enjoyed as much or more today than in the beginning when I was looking for a certain song for whatever the reason might have been. Now when I spend time listening and looking at what I have built it is of course for the love of the music, the sound the vinyl delivers and the memories that are awakened.

Remember I am speaking for myself and that of course everyone is different but there really are a number of things about it that I really enjoy. I really enjoy coming home from work and be able to vanish into my music room for a half hour or hour and lose myself in those sounds that take me to another time and they allow me to drift and enjoy. After that short respite from my busy day, I can honestly tell you that I have a new or at least a better outlook on life, my tensions are diminished, my stress is under control something that my family appreciates a lot.

It really does not matter what it is you collect, it is about that passion you have for it and how you can enjoy it.
