I started collecting Ancients in 1981 and I completed the task of the Twelve Caesars in 2012; however, I wasn't always actively collecting the Twelve. I had a few and I always said I wanted to collect the set, but not until 2008 when my son had a shadow box made to house the twelve did I actively seek the completion.
Yeah, but I got to ride the short bus with all the other special kids!!! Besides, as one of the Smother Brothers used to say, Mom always liked me best.
Yeah, that's it. I thought I'd never see it again. You're very welcome, and thanks for the interest. I tried to take a pic of the shadowbox, but the glass had too much reflection no matter what angle I tried. I'll try again later after the sun goes down.
No problem, glad you enjoyed the photos. All my ancients are just set in 2x2 flips in an album, nothing special.
I remember that glorious day back in 2012. I was still very new to collecting and I thought that was totally awesome. Still do as a matter of fact. lol
Well, here are the images. Not the best, but, when I have more time and better lighting I can try to better.
Nice sets guys. It's been a while since I showed off mine : let me take the opportunity to do so today ! Q
It's interesting to see the different choices different collectors make in these sets. Nice work, everyone.
