About Us

Hi, I'm Cliff Aliperti and this is the new VintageMeld, now a part of things-and-other-stuff.com, est. 2002. This part of the site is for discussing general collecting and collectibles, the objects and pursuits which don't fit under any specific heading already found on the site.

Charles Triplett, owner of the spectacular Judy Garland collection shown off recently on the VintageMeld, is back, this time taking us inside the Ava Gardner Museum in his home state of North Carolina.

Collector Charles Triplett shares his passion for Judy Garland which sprouted from his viewing The Wizard of Oz over 40 years ago, when he was just 6. Includes several photos of original Judy Garland gowns and movie collectibles.

Looking at the anniversary of the Joe DiMaggio – Marilyn Monroe wedding from the collectors’ eye. With images of original wedding day press photos.
