I used to collect sports cards, and movie memorabilia....but now I collect a lot of McFarlane toys..not for monetary gain...just because I think they are pretty sweet.
I open them alll and display them all.
I also collect Johnny Lightning cars...killer stuff.
I focus mainly on old VW vans and Willys but will buy anything that looks great.

Dude, that Disney stuff is worth it's weight in platinum. Depending on the issue, sculptor etc. he could retire 10 times over. I just saw a website a few weeks ago with vintage Disney sculptures/toys. The prices were so fucking huge I didn't even bookmark the site because I thought I was looking at something from the future. I'll try to backtrack and find it again and post it but I can tell you some of the tiniest fucking sculptures were 4 and 5 figures EASY and no bs allowed in acquisition.
With all the shit Disney is going through buying and selling rare Disney items is a better investment than stem cell research.
Now, if your dad had any 'Fleischer' toon memorabilia.... ( no I don't even wanna think about it. I would fall over and faint )
