Thanks for the video, and I promise I will never cancel you for collecting Disney or testing Uranium glass.😀

I don't know if you will read this , but I also collect character glasses . If you have some that have faded there is a product you can buy called " Kramer's Best antique improver " . It is a liquid that you can just wipe on the front of the glass and it will instantly bring back the color . I use it myself . I completed my collection of the 1976 Pepsi interaction looney tune glasses .

The ubiquitous flea market box of POTF. Ever see the indy horror "It Follows"...The plot is that once a person has this curse given to them by a lover, they must pass it on before the curse destroys them. Sort of like those boxes of POTF lol

No. Never seen "It Follows". But yeah, POTF and Star Trek TNG figures seem to be hard to sell nowadays, even though they were considered very collectible back in the 1990s.
