Toy Story - Matt Jenson

Original MMM LISTSERV submission from around 2001

Hello everyone,

I have also enjoyed hearing everyone's stories. I am 36 and did not have MMM as a kid my parents got me g.i. joe but my neighbor had lots-o-Matt and it was my favorite thing to play with.

I started looking for MMM when I was 16 and only found one Matt at old antique barn he was in very sad shape and was marked $40.00 so I passed.

When I bought a computer and typed in MMM I was very pleased to find some great sites and the list. My collection has really grown thanks to Ebay and the list.

I have bought some of my best items from fellow list members and the price has always been very fair! My wife does not understand but does put up with my new obsession, she is trying to put me on a one a month purchase plan.

Unfortunetly there are some deals I just can't pass up!! The high eBay prices some items are going for has been a help in one respect I can show my wife a really high priced auction and say "look honey it's selling for $200.00 on eBay and I only paid $60.00 for it."

I just wanted to thank everyone again this is a great list and the stories have been enjoyable.

Take care all, Matt
