NYT Strands today (game #357) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #357, are…
- STAMP
- COIN
- VINYL
- COMIC
- PLUSHIE
- BOBBLEHEAD
- SPANGRAM: COLLECTIBLES
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Today’s puzzle collates items that some may consider junk and that others treasure, depending on your collecting demeanor.
Personally, I’ve always veered on the side of treasure and although my loft is free of a single BOBBLEHEAD it contains plenty of everything else listed here, all of which will bail us out of crisis and pay the mortgage off one day.
Well, that’s the dream of everyone with COLLECTIBLES, but the brutal reality upon perusing eBay is that it is all close to worthless . Having said that, I did once sell a comic for $300. The fact that it’s now worth $1,000 further entrenches my position of holding on to everything.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
