My Entire Collection

It took me just over a week, but I finally got around to writing this post. :D  As I like to do whenever my blog anniversary comes around, I wanted to share my entire, updated ABBA collection.

Starting off is the great wall of ABBA, aka my bedroom wall with three huge posters pinned to them, haha.  (Also are a bunch of taped up printouts that I've had on my wall for years!)

The Story of ABBA for Young Readers, both cover versions.

 

And of course let's not forget my book's predecessor, the original Story of ABBA for Young Readers. :P

And here is my only magazine, ABBA Intermezzo from Winter 2014. 

Still can't believe that my book made it into the magazine!

My big book collection, the official photo book, ABBA the Treasures, and ABBA the Scrapbook.

Pop Story and ABBA by Calvero, two amazing books gifted to me by my best friend, Eleonore. :D

My growing CD collection.  The newest addition being Ring Ring, that was given to me for my birthday.

A couple of the miscellaneous things from ABBA the Museum.  The bag, lanyard and VIP tag, as well as the Pop House pencils were given to me by Eleonore.

And my Record Collection.

Since last year, I've gotten two new records, bringing my collection to 5 records.  (Maybe I'll someday be able to get all of ABBA's albums in record format?)

And my most prized possessions, ABBA's autographs.  Still can't believe I actually have all four of their autographs. :O  It amazes me every time I look at them.

And last but certainly not least, my ABBA dolls. :)

Also to make things a little easier for me in the future, I've also created a new page for my collection.  I've wanted to make a collection page since forever, but only got around to creating it now. I'm certainly not trying to brag about my things, and if you want to, go and check it out here. :)

My ABBA Collection so far

My ABBA collection has grown considerably since I last put up pictures, so I figured it was time I do yet another updated post.  :)

Take a look at that! :D  Not included are the The Album and Greatest Hits Vol.2 records.

Many thanks to my dear friend Eleonore for helping to expand my collection by giving me so many goodies, like the "Dancing Queen" poster on the right!  The poster on the left came from ABBA the Treasures.

My ABBA/ABBA related CD collection, ABBA Gold being my first. 

My large-ABBA book collection, including the first Story of ABBA for young readers and the new one.  (What do you think of the new cover?)

My copy of ABBA Intermezzo which features my book, and Bjorn's Pop Story and ABBA by Calvero.

And of course, my most prized possessions: ABBA's autographs!  I will never be able to thank Gorel Hanser for her incredible help in getting me Benny, Bjorn, and Frida's autographs!

 So that's my updated collection.  I hope you enjoyed it! :)

ABBA the Official Photo Book + ABBA the Treasures

So far, 2016 has been a pretty bad year for me and my personal life (I'm not going to get into much detail on that), but it's been a pretty great year so far for my ABBA life! :D  First, I got Benny, Frida, and Bjorn's autographs which completed my collection (Thank you Gorel, I will be eternally thankful to you for making this happen!!), second, I got ABBA the Treasures for my birthday (Thanks Dad!), and third, I got a book which I have had my eyes set on ever since I heard it was being released almost two years ago: ABBA the Official Photo Book!

I'd always wanted to get the Official Photo Book, but I could never find it at an affordable enough price for me.  On Ebay people sold it for $100, $50 on Amazon, but I never stopped searching.  Recently, I happened to be searching on Half.com and found the Photobook in perfectly new condition for only $18, shipped!  What a deal that was! :D  So, I bought it and now I have it and I'm super happy with it! ^^

Both books standing next to each other.  :D

One of the best parts of ABBA the Treasures is, besides the amazing story told by Ingmarie Halling, the goodies that come with it!

It even comes with this awesome poster that I now have taped to the wall! (I'm not pinning it because then it might get damaged and I don't want to damage my poster one bit!) 

And all these awesome pictures inside the Photobook!  They're just sooooo amazing!  I will admit, there was one picture which in my opinion wasn't necessary (It wasn't even a picture of the ABBA members!), but overall the book is fabulous!

I am happy to say that my collection looks a lot bigger now! ^^
