Some bears hoard honey. Freddie hoards cartridges, posters, and DVDs.

Legend has it, he once emerged from a garage sale with three shoeboxes of Nintendo 64 games balanced on his head, grinning like he’d just raided a dragon’s hoard. Where others see dusty VHS tapes, Freddie sees relics of power — ancient runes with titles like Jurassic Park or Ready Player One that keep nostalgia itself alive.

His workshop is no less than a shrine: CRT TV humming in the corner, stacks of VHS and DVDs teetering like unstable towers, posters tacked to the walls with price tags still dangling, and the faint smell of microwaved pizza rolls in the air.

Ask him why he does it and he’ll laugh that manic Freddie laugh, headset askew, glasses fogged, controller in paw:
“Because someone has to protect the past from becoming Game Over.”

At 100AllDay.com, Freddie isn’t just the Collector. He’s the Guardian of Nostalgia — the keeper of those odd treasures that remind us we were kids once, and maybe still are.
