Refrigerator Magnets

I have a collection of refrigerator magnets.  I have tried to limit it to the rubberized kind from places I have been.  I ended up with a few that have photos and a few odd ones.  Again, you need to decide what limits you will place on your collection or you will have all kinds of items you did not plan on.

A collection of refrigerator magnets needs a place for display.  The obvious place is the front of the refrigerator.  My refrigerator front was almost entirely covered with my collection of magnets from places I had traveled to.  They are very nice as a travel collectible.  The price is usually from about $1.99 to $5.99 depending on where you are.  It is easy to pack them in your luggage.  They don't take up much space.

So, what is the down side?  My refrigerator stopped working and I had to invest in a new one.  I opted for the latest trend--stainless steel.  Mine is stainless steel on the front and is plain black on the side I can see above my counter cabinet.  I had to remove all the magnets from my old refrigerator and found that magnets do not stick on stainless steel!  So, I boxed up that collection and started over.  My new magnets are on the side of the refrigerator that is not stainless steel so my collection zone is much smaller.  A collection like this does not have much monetary value as the items are mass-produced and readily available.
