An amazing 40x40 inch art piece made entirely out of cigar bands by a prisoner circa 1909.

This was an art piece they had recently received for their art gallery, and I thought it was so crazy, that I had to post it here. I made sure to give credit to the store, as they're the ones who received it and took the pictures.
I called this Folk Art as it does not have a name, and that's the only way the store (or I) could classify it. It was made by a person who was in prison circa 1909 (judged by the president portraits ending at around Teddy Roosevelt, so 1909 at the latest).

For my collecting post for today, You're never going to believe what I just got. I went to my local record store looking for some new stuff, and I ended up helping him out with some collections that he was getting in that day. After I did that, he told me he set something aside for me, since he sets aside stuff for regulars who might be interested. When he pulled it out, my jaw hit the floor; it was a original pressing of the first Stooges album. It wasn't in the best of shape (like a visual G+-low VG), but it still played very well on the turntable like a VG record, and the cover was at least VG+. The owner said that someone had recently come in with a stack of records with mostly boring stuff and he only pulled out a couple things, with this record being one of them. He ended up letting me have the record for only $40! Again, I will note that the record plays to a VG level, so its still very listenable. Overall, I am very happy to own this record, so now the only original Stooges record I'm missing is Funhouse.
I am an avid listener, even researcher, of the New Zealand indie scene from 1978 to 1995. I have written long essays on the artists of Flying Nun on reddit and I try to look for any records I can get. My top want right now is the Clean's Boodle Boodle Boodle, but I also want to get records from the Propellor and Ripper labels.
like 12 inch singles or 45s? Don't know of a lot of house or techno singles that are not on 12-inch.
no problem, here's the discogs account:
https://www.discogs.com/user/ryuundo/collection?page=1&limit=250&header=1
About 2000 albums, plus 200-300 45s, 100 or so CDs, and about 50 78s.
Favorite album on vinyl is probably either Modest Mouse' Lonesome Crowded West or the Clash London Calling.
I have accumulated a few rarities over the years and I'll show some below:
My Copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing with the flexi and postcard (only 934 copies made, 200 with the postcard)
My copy of the Pink Fairies Never Neverland with the PVC outer sleeve:
and my original 1976 copy of the Ramones debut album:
My Rolling Stones records, My Ramones records, and my records by the Fall.
I have my dads 80s Onkyo setup that I finally set up fully a month ago.
They are organized alphabetically by first name, and in order of release, even down to the month if multiple releases came out in one year.
I always play new arrivals when I get them. When I bring stuff home, I go on discogs and catalog them in my collection, so i have a day-by-day note of what albums I got, and I play the albums to check condition.
Dang that sucks. What kind of music did you listen to that got destroyed?

I absolutely do play it, but I still have to manage my plays considering its rarity. It sounds great, and the sound of the record really pops out when you hear the record as compared to online sources.
I randomly decided to just look at who had copies of Falling and Laughing on Discogs (Which you can see in the statistics section). Then I just thought "Would anyone be willing to actually sell it to me?", and then I message everyone who was visible that had a copy. Most of them said that they treasured this record (for obvious reasons) and would never get rid of it. Then one of the guys emailed me and said he was downsizing his collection, as he was downsizing his home as well. I negotiated with him for about two weeks, and I was able to get a bunch of records, including every other Postcard Orange Juice record.
