Scrapbooks

Carter · Jun 14, 2014

I am just putting it out there,as i have several questions that i am interested in knowing some answers to, as i personally used to cut up 1970-80's newspapers, Big Leagues', and whatever i could get my hands on, and paste into Scrapbooks. Fortunately i did not paste all team collections into the Scrapbooks, just my favourites at the time, such as Wests, Easts, Parramatta. The other teams are still unpasted!

Did anyone else do scrapbooks as a youngster

Is there a market for this?

Are old newspaper clippings/ photos of any value these days?

Just interested to know!

I keep Big League each week and some RLWs too. Once in a while I look at them and laugh/remember things and can't believe where the years went. I scrapped as a kid but they were tossed years ago. Not sure if people buy it but who knows. I know scrapping for ladies is massive at the moment and I'm tempted to do that with a lot of my leftover commons and general NRL ephemera.

Do they even still make Clag glue?

I think they even still make Perkins paste, that used to taste alright.

Here is a few pictures from my scrapbook.
I've ripped off the cardboard from other books and taped the pages to the back of this to make it bigger as you could see in the 2nd pic
The only reason i stopped was because it got too big and i didn't want to make another one but its alright i guess we didn't do much in 2005 and beyond
The highs and lows from 2002 to 2004 are all in there which is why I never threw it away

I will have to put up my 1960s scrap book of saints when I get sorted in the new house.

Only when you wanted to get high by eating it. Then I guess you felt like this

@Carter - here's an idea (AFL-related though it is). I have spent ages trawling through his online scrapbooks and I reckon they look great!
