Hey Allies! All this Indiana Jones talk…really the “IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM” talk…got me thinking. Way back before mortgages and kids, I got into collecting a few rare games and game-related objects—think figurines and books that would come as a pre-order bonus and events. I do have a sealed copy of a Japanese PS2 game that would probably sell for a whole PS5 console, so that’s probably my most “valuable” object that a collector would want. Do you have something in your own collection that would clearly BELONG IN A MUSEUM or a collector of some sort? L&R and Happy Holidays everyone!

If so, how did its popularity change your relationship with it? For me, it's Sonic. The cultural proliferation of the franchise since the first movie dropped in 2020 has astounded me. I think Sonic might be more popular right now than he was in the early '90s. Even two NFL players are going by the nicknames "Sonic" and "Knuckles". I heard retired Steelers coach Bill Cower utter "Sonic & Knuckles" on live TV while watching highlights with my Mom. Do you know how surreal that felt? When I was a kid, I was the only socially inept nerd in the school who was obsessed with Sonic. In the late '90s- 2000s Sonic's cultural relevance was at an all-time low. In the 2010's Sonic's reputation was so bad that Sega's social media team had to lean into the memes and make fun of themselves just to save the brand. And now in the 2020s, every little twerp running down the street is wearing a Sonic shirt and legendary NFL coaches are referencing Knuckles the frickin' Echidna. WTF is happening?
