I've been sort of "collecting" an item on ebay, called Computer House of Cards, by Ray and Charles Eames from the 1970's world fair for IBM. Anyway, it's a deck of cards with 2 slots on each side that you can playl with building structures etc..
I have purchased 2 before, and just last week my 3rd arrived in the mail. I paid less than $200 for the third one and it was in the best condition, hardly a scratch, fade, or even been used I'd bet. sweet deal.
It's funny the way certain things just grab your appreciation and you look for it to aquire. I mean dumb stuff like collecting things like that. Tally, over at You got a Gay, confessed to probably making a good interior decorator in another life: I thought I'd share about my gay Eames design and retro furntiure fascination. I actually also have 2 black Eames Eiffel tower chairs from ebay from a few years ago. ha.
I always buy a catalog from LA Modern's past auctions just to mull over and look at, of course I'd never be able to purchase any of it but the photographs sure are purty...
(dang it, Icon, now I'm almost trying to edit this post instead of just immediately clicking on publish post! curses!! ha ha, nah j/k)

Hey, those are really cool. Never heard of them before, but they look interesting. It's neat to find out these little details about people; what their unusual interests are and such.
(Oh, and retro furniture is pretty rad, I have to admit.)
