My Collection


Ok. As I said, I am a collector and a fan of Highlander.

The first thing I need to talk about is how I became a fan. Well it all started back in 1988, when my older brother rented the movie Highlander. Being the sneaky little brother I was, I took the movie and watched it thinking that it might be something that I was not supposed to see. Little did I know I would be a fan forever!

(On a side note I broke the tape)

Years later, about 1993, I was flipping channels and
found Highlander the series, my eyes lit up like it was Christmas. I started collecting the officially liscenced swords, movies (video tapes), catalogs, boxsets and autographs. I also got into martial arts. I believe my collection had to be in the price rang of $5000. About two years ago, my house was broken into they took just about everything-- and I mean everything, kitchen sink and all! I was heartbroken when my friend called me up saying he had seen one my autographs at a local pawn shop. I drove over and there it was, trying to explain
that it was mine and was stolen well that did not work so I paid for it again. 20$ and left. Now for my new collection this includes four original blueprints, from Highlander: The Series seven autographed photos; two presskits; one prop used in an episode; two unused tickets to the premier of Highlander: Endgame and several sword's. What's next?

Keep checking in and find out how much

I will spend and what my already mad wife thinks about it ...
