Well i have a friend who now collects all he has is some pin tops and a multi part with strains and Hemingrays, well he had it all in the living room, bad idea. His mom took them and turned them upside down and put candles in them. Why is it everyone but collectors think they are good candle holders. Well he has learned and now when he gets some he makes sure he gets her one so she don't take his. Hopefully the blue ones he bought wont end up the same way.
