I wonder sometimes what goes through someone’s mind to buy something like that and lock it away for 40+ years? Be it a nice watch or a muscle car or whatever else.


What really gets me thinking is how many other people did the same thing and whatever it is they bought didn’t appreciate. And how many absolutely worthless pieces of 50s , 60s, or 70s era things there are out there in mint condition.

Kind of thinking in the same vein of what if kids my dads age didn’t put baseball cards in their bike spokes as kids

Hell, how many cars and trucks did people have that they let go to shite and sold them for a couple hundred bucks, that are now worth ten times what they cost new.

My brother had a friend in high school who’s dad bought him a pristine Dodge Super Bee. He tore that thing up. Don’t know how they weren’t killed in it. Drove it for several years and sold it for a steal.

Looked just like this.

Hell, you could probably make a decent retirement by buying popular toys and other shite in your twenties, leaving them in the boxes and storing them for 40 years and sell them for a huge profit.
