A DEDICATED fan of vintage children’s toys has shown off his incredible collection - worth a whopping $1.5million. Extreme collector, Ronald Toby from Philadelphia, has had a life-long fascination with toys, and began actively collecting them at the age of 15. He’s been buying and collecting them ever since, 'once piece at a time', and now owns over 80,000 items. The 64-year-old estimates that he has spent over $200,000 on his collection which is displayed through every room of his house, with the rooms separated into different genres of collections.

What better place to be than a great toy store? I remember the vintage toys from the 1950's sold in department and discount stores. Those were the best with American Flyer trains, Marx, Mattel and Gilbert toys. Slot car racing sets and cap guns.

@heatherscancerjourney 4 года назад

I loved my toys . I was born in the 70’s and I can still describe all of the details of each of them and some of their names . I had a grand daughter and got into buying some of the vintage toys from the 70’s and 80’s so she could play with snd when I would get them they would take me back to my childhood. I started showing my mom vintage toys from her era and it really made her happy . She started getting Alzheimer’s recently so it’s nice for her to remember and have that childlike joy. I’m hoping to find the doll she had in the 40’s. It really is exciting for me. Maybe not everyone feels that way.

Collections just wear on. All and every collection wears you out. It looks like fun but the fun wears off. Then in the end the collection OWNS you. Some of you understand what I mean.. I had a major collection, I was so happy to sell it all in the end. Life is better and simple. Great collection, great guy...

@regtoyz 4 года назад

I believe, as much as I can recall, he retired from working with the Transit Authorities of Philadelphia. As for his ability to afford and amass such a great collection, I'll explain it, the best I'm able, via his words of wisdom: Paraphrasing [ As collectors, the majority of us are working people. We're not rich, we can't simply go out and buy vast amounts of collectibles at once or, sometimes, not at all. We build our collection one or maybe two pieces at a time. Building a collection does not happen overnight and it doesn't require tons of money, just wise decisions in terms of what you purchase.] I have a very large collection as well, but it wasn't until I got the opportunity to see Mr. Ronald Toby's amazing collection, in person, and listen to his words of wisdom did I understand how people felt when they would see my collection. I was in absolute awe being in his home and getting a personal tour of each room. German Boy, he is a great guy, our meeting was accidental, but it was one of the most amazing and unforgettable moments of my life. Whenever I go to Philadelphia, I make it a point to visit him, out of respect and as a friend.

@germanboy5392 4 года назад

@@regtoyz Thank you so much for sharing that. He seems to have same philosophy as myself. My collection much smaller but I primarily focus on toys I actually had as a child and managed to keep or toys I lost and replaced. To me it is very therapeutic to reflect back to my Childhood and walking into my special room does this. Thanks again and happy collecting!!!

Morayo Odukoya pretty sure the people who comment watch these videos. I just found it funny that everyone was like "he's happy that's all that matters", but when it came to the guy collecting dolls everyone was judging him because he was a gay man collecting dolls. So I commented on what I thought about it. If you didn't like my comment you didn't need to reply, I really don't care and I stand by what I said.
