Turning 80 Next Week

I retired many years ago from a career in television wherein I moved around quite a bit. I've had a bit of a problem with accumulating stuff over the years, but much of this stuff is highly collectible. The problem is I don't know what to do with it. I'm talking everything from World war II newspapers to Media company coffee cups to original Star wars action figures. I don't have the wherewithal to handle these things individually. What is your advice?

2010 Apple Corps Let It Be Beatles glass - safe to use?

This is my first time getting glassware at an antique store, and I got this collectible glass cup for my dad and I know he will want to use it. I found some information online saying not to wash it in the dishwasher, and not to store liquids in it for a long time, even though the illustration is only on the outside, so I wanted to check with people who might have experience with collectibles like this - is this glass safe for everyday use, or occasional use?

Thank you for any advice!

Dad's Hesston Buckle collection.

Has been collecting Hesston buckles since 1974. He always kept them in a box in his closet and only took them out at Christmas to add his new one and he would sit there for hours looking at them before putting them away again for another year.

When I was still living at home, I found this coffee table on the side of the road for the garbage trucks to haul away. I took it and turned it into a shadow box for him to look at his buckles any time he wants. He loves it, and gets a lot of comments about it when people come work on the house.

Has anyone else experienced high humidity in their action figure collector room

My room this last week has been in the 60s Humidity but has jumped into the 70s from time to time

I live in Arkansas and it’s been pretty hot outside

I heard Humidity can cause my figures to grow mold and become sticky which got me a bit concerned. Who else has delt with this?

What Is This Thing

Picked this up not to long ago but I can't figure out where this thing came from other than some foreign sites in the middle east. Also has Sanrio licensing on the back.

Price estimate?

I found this beautiful gem at a thrift store for 6usd. But looking at eBay I believe the price is much higher. Found a empty box for 80usd on eBay, and a red version of it for 250usd that was with bottle. It is in very nice condition

Help Identifying Chairs (Jerry Johnson style?)

Hello! I've had this chair, which is part of a set of 4, for a few years. They were owned by an older couple outside Chicago. Best I can come up with is that they're Jerry Johnson style but there are zero identifying marks on any of the chairs. I can't find any images online of this design with the saddle-like armrests either. Any help would be appreciated!

Curious if these are originals or older repos

The person who sold these to me claimed they were originals. But I can’t tell if they are that or possibly older repos. I love their expressions, but curious as to the actual age. I read through the real or repo article but am still unsure.
I’m in the U.S.

Can anyone identify this official Red Bull can display stand? Is it rare?

Hi everyone,

I have this original Red Bull can display stand that my father received directly from Red Bull years ago when he stocked their products in his shop. It was never bought from a store.

It's in good condition with only a few minor scratches. I found what appears to be the same display listed on eBay for around US$100, but I couldn't find much other information.

Does anyone know how much this is worth? Vintage Kraft peanut butter jar - Australia

Wondering if anyone knows how much this 1.5kg Kraft peanut butter jar with a metal lid is worth?
The paper label on the lid is intact and the glass is perfect as far as I can tell.
All I can find online are ones with plastic lids or smaller ones.
Thanks in advance!
