38. NUVALI COLLECTICON ... The Nuvali Collector's Fair

Last Sunday (Sept 11) my wife and I went to NUVALI in Santa Rosa to attend the Collector's Fair but I was a bit disappointed.  I was expecting to see many participants but unfortunately, few exhibitors joined the fair.  I drove all the way from Monumento, Caloocan, encountered some traffic in EDSA, and took the SLEX tollway just to get there. Maybe my expectation was too high...  I have already seen some of the items in Cubao Expo shops which I frequently visit.  I was expecting to see more because NUVALI spent a lot on advertisements just to promote this event.  Since it was the organizer’s first time they still lack the experience in handling such an event. I hope in the future it would be more successful with more exhibitors and dealers.

One can find toys, antiques, vintage records, new collectibles, and second-hand goodies at the fair. Anyway, my visit was not futile because I was able to buy a long-playing record that is quite scarce. I met and chat with fellow collectors and discuss our hobbies and new finds at the fair.

For those who were not able to come, I am sharing these photos.

The word “vintage” truly is a magical one, able to evoke a nostalgic spell in one’s feelings with the mere mention of it. The word can be used to define an era or an object, never failing to conjure up images of a happy and simpler time.

Whenever anything is labeled vintage, it exudes an aura of timeless cool and class. Nowadays, it’s not surprising how a lot of people are collecting vintage items to relive days past, reliving precious memories. There’s a certain excitement in collecting these items, bringing tears to the eyes of many as memories instantly play in their head, as well as bringing a rush of adrenaline from finding rare items.

NUVALI’s COLLECTICON encourages the appreciation for vintage and 2nd hand goodies as a way of reusing and recycling them, instead of buying new items and throwing things away. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, a treasure that can usher nostalgia and rekindle happy memories and bring new ones.
