Prop collectors

by only looking
How many of you guys out there collect props from Magnum PI? I've been trying to collect things over the years I can actually use..of course in moduration. I mena a full fledged Magnum PI wardrobe might turn some heads, but when worn in the right way..passable. I also collect everyday stuff like his popcorn maker..I also have fun and trying to track down the name brands of certain items used in the show. My grandpa when I was a kid had the EXACT tv Magnum had, I believe it was a RCA XL 100 19" tv set, can't remember the year though..need to do more research. :) I also managed to track down all the baseball cards shown in "Limited Engagement"..lot of card comparing. Anyway I thought it was fun and was wondering if any of you guys do as well. Maybe there could be a information post or exchange. It can be quite tiresome sometimes tracking down dead ends..ain't that right Mike :P We've both been looking for Magnum's green hooded rain jacket and came up empty!!!

That reminds me that I had a dead ringer shirt for the navy blue one Magnum wears with the white collar. It's like a rugby shirt with short sleeves. Even if I could dig it up, I doubt it'd fit.

I like your idea of a sticky with the 'stuff' you own and/or success at tracking down items

I'm starting to amass quite the Magnum collection myself. Must start a thread with some pics soon. However so far my collection doesn't have any props from the show - though I'm continually on the lookout on eBay for them!

So far, I've got mainly the sort of items JJ has on the Tie-In page. Cool stuff no doubt, but not screen used.
