CBM Collectors Collections - Beta Ray 28

John Arturo - When did you start collecting and how did you get into the hobby?

Beta Ray 28 - I started collecting when I was a kid but mostly posters and toys, since then I have amassed a collection that takes 1 room in my house as well as places around my house.

John Arturo - Your collection seems to contain lots of all sorts of action figures and collectibles. Did you buy those Star Wars and Batman carded figures during the time they were released or did you get them over time?

Beta Ray 28 - I started to collect advertising merchandise lucky for me I work for a grocery store and have friends who keep a look out for stuff in fact I have some stuff still in boxes never opened.
