Heart Attack
When I decided to start collecting the Valentines about a month ago, I did not even think about the toll it would take on my health. Seems since I started this quest I have had more headaches than ever before. Anyway, I am now up to 81 hearts of the 255 on the wonderful chart that someone created, my copy was taken from Pastor Pez’s Blog.
If you are wanting a chart, send me your address and I will send you one no matter where you live.

Pez Ghosty
Nenad Markov in his apartment in Rudolf -Fuenfhaus : " My dearest Pez candy dispenser is worth 1,500 euros !"
A Viennese spends his spare time collecting candy that does not taste it.
2500 candy dispenser worth 15,000 euros - that is the pride of Nenad Markov . Because the 39- year-old Viennese collects twelve years Pez candies and everything that goes with it : from race cars to key chains , to vitamin tablets. " It's a passion ," says Markov .
It all started at the flea market with a box of Pez dispensers. Meanwhile, Markov is networked with collectors around the world and runs from a Pez meeting to the next. But although he urge his collectors can not agree , one thing is certain for him : Sell it does not want. "I would not have the heart . "

Pez collecting: a reader's story
Don LawsonBoston Collecting Examiner
October 19, 2009
A few weeks ago the subject of this column was PEZ collecting. A reader, Janice from Sag Harbor, NY, wrote in and shared her story. It begins with her oldest child’s 100th day of kindergarten.
“I started collecting PEZ when my oldest child Shane, needed to bring 100 items to school on the 100th day of Kindergarten. As we were looking for 100 things to bring to school, he said, “Can I bring 100 PEZ dispensers?”

I said, “Sure, do you have that many?”
He said, “Let’s count.” We did.
We had a lot of double PEZ, like Tweety Bird, Sylvester, a couple of Tom and Jerry, The Simpsons, Garfield and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Including holiday PEZ, these made up the the majority of what he had. So after that day of school, I was amazed that we had that many PEZ dispensers just lying around the house.”
Janice goes on to explain how she would buy them around the holidays as a gift for her son or maybe pick one up while shopping to help keep his attention while she looked around.
She is searching for what she feels is one of the hardest dispensers to find, one made by Devlin Studios about eight years ago for FAO Schwartz. That dispenser is a Swarovski crystal covered Tigger, the tiger from Winnie the Pooh. She has others in the series: Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, which were crafted by Catherine Bauman, along with Kermit the Frog and Goofy. All are covered in the Swarovski crystals.

Like many collectors, she always has her eye out whenever she goes shopping, looking for new pieces for sale. She says she has every current PEZ dispenser issued over the past 10 years. She hopes to someday start adding some more rare pieces which can sell for up to $6000 and more. There are also some PEZ dispensers that are "one of a kind".
Finally, she is looking forward to attending her first PEZ Convention in April of next year.
Thank you Janice for sharing your collecting story in both words and pictures.

The Collectionary
The Collectionary Interview:
What inspired The Collectionary into existence?
The Collectionary was built because we wanted to create a Dictionary of everything in the world that people collect. There are hundreds of e-commerce sites, but there is no dedicated place where you can learn about different items. Whether it's the history, facts, or unique attributes regarding a particular collectible or item, we want to give people a place to learn about the collectibles they love.
What made you coin it The Collectionary?
Collectionary comes from combining the words Collection and Dictionary. A fun play on words that explains what we are working on with our site and brand.
Why is your site devoted solely to Pez memorabilia?
No, the Pez Collectionary is one out of hundreds of different Collectionaries to join. We have expert collectors we call moderators that help us with each Collectionary to add new and cool items to the site.
In fact, we would love to have more Pez moderators willing to help out :)
What's the takeaway for potential customers? What can they hope to gain from perusing your site?
We hope visitors to our site will enjoy browsing all the amazing collectibles ever created. Looking at many of the nostalgic items on the site we hope it brings back many fond memories as a child or another time in your life. We also want people to learn about Collectibles and find out where those items are for
sale as we point to the different places on the internet the items are for sale.
Anything unusual worth noting about your site? Pez?
Our site would love to have more moderators helping us out. I'm sure you will find many unusual and never before seen Pez items here.
