hey all. i thought it would be cool to start a thread about any of the silver dollar city merchandise that you all have. please post anything cool you have with pictures if possible so we can all share all these great things. i will be posting my first pic soon.
Got this one, Rube? (We've talked about starting a "SDC Collectors" group, like the pin traders) Until I can get better close-up shots, here's a look at some of my collections, from SDC, Dogpatch, 6 Flags, etc.

I need to take better pics of my stuff (and of things I've gotten since), but for now, here's my SDC collection album on Photobucket:

does over 600 items count as a collection, or an obsession? :-\
I'd say it counts as a museum! lol
^Haha! Does SDC have the 50th anniversary book out for sale at the park yet?
Don't think so, or at least, we couldn't find it. They also had very few ballcaps available; I think they just haven't gotten all their shipments of merchandise in yet.
I added one or two more new items that I have on my Flickr site as well.

We aint got much.
Clothes - hats - coffee mugs - walkin' stick - lump of coal - ol' nails we found - characture drawing - a foam ball from Splash Harbor that rolled infront of us in 2009 - Sarsaparilla bottle - old passes - SDC bags & receipts - cave pics - ol' time pics, i even have one when they used to be metal from back in 1987 - cedar chips - jewelry - drinkin' cups -
We have only been collectin' stuff for about 5 years now. I'd have to bust out some of our stuff, we just moved & still need to make our City wall in our new home.
I just recently purchased "The Sounds of SDC" on vinyl. I got it in near mint condition on ebay.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what year the record was made & sold?
There is no year listed on the cover or record itself.
I know this is an old thread, but one of my favorite SDC merchandise is a "wanted poster" from the print shop. These were very cool. You could pick the name and watch them print. They were inexpensive and an unique souvenir than you couldn't get anywhere else. Some of the letter presses are rusting outside the photo shop, there is one inside, but I doubt it will ever run again :(
Before printers, It was cool to watch them make yours.
I think the Sounds of SDC album was made in 80 or 81. I know I was there on the town square when some of it was recorded...and I know most of the people who performed on it. Fun times!
