I have no illusions of great future value but I like to collect AOL
discs in their various packaging. I don't know how many I have but it
is a lot of them. Just picked up one at Burger King for AOL 9.0
promoting
the new Star Wars movie. It will be interesting to see how many
different ones I can find over the years.

One person has around 1000 different ones and there is some collector
demand as they are being sold on Ebay.

That is hilarious! I collect the AOL disks and packaging TOO!!! I was
going to make a wall covered with the disks someday, but never have yet
gotten around to it. My favorites are the thin metal cases. They can also
be used to sort coins, keep them flat and store them while I am not looking
at them.
My wife tried to get me to toss them out last weekend. I told her I was not
ready to do that. I have a spindle I made from a board and dowel rod 12"
high that is full of the disks.
