I’m the… Hey, there’s nothing left! Gonna have to improvise. Can I be a house? Can I be the deed to Boardwalk? NO, huh… Lemme see, I don’t have any coins in my pocket… I guess I’m a small piece of pocket lint. That’d hurt my self-esteem if I wasn’t a Douglas Adams fan. ---

I have a small Monopoly piece collection. Many are from a car set put out by Johnny Lightning. I also have 6 Monopoly games too. I have the big wooden set put by Franklin Mint a few years ago, a NASCAR version, a Dale Earnhardt edition, a Seattle edition, a San Francisco edition, and a 50th anniversary edition. I like the Starbucks coffee mug from the Seattle edition or my 57 Chevy token. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-claim-a-monopoly-piece/109140.md?page=2)
