Largest Paintball Gun Collection (??) Looking for a Home

[Pyrate Jim]

I'm up over 100, at least in the century club.
And recently had a sudden death in the family reminding me that I need to liquidate it all, since nobody else here at the house has any knowledge of what's in there or what it may be worth.
There's a Sheridan K2 in there I bought from Painthappy that since was signed by Bob Gurnsey.
Matched pairs like the Gotch-Ya Ace & Deuce, or Wintec Thunderbolt single and double.

Cue Dan Bacci bursting in wearing a Stetson and carrying a bull whip, shouting "It belongs in a museum!"

Oddly enough, it was in the Paintball Marshals travelling museum, and I own a Stetson.

Wearing a fedora, not a Stetson.

Doc.

[MrBarraclough]

Doc, you're right. I must have misremembered the Indiana Jones hat as having a wider brim than it does. And I suppose I have a bias against saying fedora simply due to the frequency with which I see fedora misused when clearly talking about a trilby.

I miss the old emoji of "this thread is useless without pics" more than ever right now.

Okay made an attempt to turn the .pdf back into a table. Pretty sure on most of it but the Columns with the Yellow Header do not really look like they line up right but at least you can see what markers are there and some notes. Anyone know what column A (D) and B (P) mean?

Nice work.

Given the time period covered by the collection, I was surprised at the relatively low number of Palmers.

Uhhhh

[SR_matt]

Uhhhh

Ahhh I realized I clicked the emoji button down with the fonts not the one up on the top of the reply box when I was looking for it. Good looking out!

First, I'm going to force my wife to read this thread so she knows that 50+ markers (I mean, I don't know the exact number, but it's around there) is not a huge number.

Second, I'm going to need some guidance from the mods about how sexually explicit I can get regarding my excitement for all of this.

Post pics and put them up for sale!

Can we put a club together?

What am I missing?

There's a viewloader genesis surge listed for $44,000

Plenty I'd be interested in here, but need a workable way to obtain info and pics for each.

Bacci has the infrastructure to assist with selling large collections. We've seen him help sell a few of them. I would guess you'd have work out some deal that is fair to him, since it does look like a lot of work to middleman a large collection.

[Grendel]

Definitely doing something like consignment deals with some old collections. That would be the way to go if you can not find a "museum" to by the lot. I honestly don't see someone buying all of the collection.

[Tarsun2]

im familiar with most of the "low level" markers on the list but there are many that i dont know about. Since i cant really tell what im looking at here, is this a collection to simply "collect" markers or are these the "rare models". Models with a story, limited production, colab's, or some other "reason" for collecting?
its an honest question, im genuinely curious.

[latches109]

Please find the time to photograph and record the history of some of these (or all). I am sure there are stories that go along with them. Digital museum is the next best thing to the real thing.,

[El Gringo]

So many that I would love to add to my pile

[Meleager7]

it'd be cool if you could take a couple pics of the whole pile.....or piles !!!
