I really don’t know, but it paid my tuitions for 5 years in art school — and there’s still some pencils left

That is very impressive. If I tried to pay my tuition entirely with pencils, I would have to have about 500 IJ instrument Pencils…

I’d say around $400? I’m not too serious of a collector, just collecting whatever I think is interesting
Too bad I have expensive taste…

I guess $200,000 or $250,000? Never counted.

I spent around $40,000 on YAJ&Mercari last year. But well, the overall collection has to take all the repeated pieces into consideration… it takes 100 years to sell those cheap repeated ones at the current speed, and my grandson will have to take over this mess.

Here’s a rough count of the 10 largest brands I have collected, and they are inflated because of the pens mixed in with pencils:
MItsubishi 545
Pilot 440
Pentel 431
Tombow 293
Zebra 214
Sakura 112
Staedtler 104
Rotring 103
Platinum 99
OHTO 88
Value? Probably about 50K over about 15 years?
