Starbucks City Mug

I started collecting things when I was still in grade school and I was 10 or 11 years old then. I basically started collecting Banknotes and its almost complete then came Stamps but I got tired of it during the late '80's then I tried to collect Stones which I found it boring too and throw them all away swiftly I thought of Bottles why not... but it didn't interest me at well so I turn my eyes on Keychains also from different parts of the world and those we're useful kinds of keychains which I also gave it up. And then there was Matches small & tiny cutie little matches collected from hotels, restaurants, airlines, bars, business companies etc. but since it was a fire hazardous thing to collect and our house was mostly built from wood so whether I like it or not I better get rid of it before something terrible happens in our house then came Coffret, coffret is a small or miniature perfume that's made of fancy design kind of bottles and until now I still collect them. And the latest of them all is Beer also from all over the world and I now have like 70+ and still counting :o) Well back to my mugs it was way back 1986 when it seize my eyes and got interested on it because of its many designs, sizes, colours & shapes, not until 1994 came when Starbucks Coffee came out with a so called City Mugs series and my very 1st city mug was the Chicago (Cornet) which was given to me by a friend who is based in Hawaii. I didn't even know that there are so many starbucks stores all over America. Because I wasn't even aware about the starbucks brand. Then in 1996 my sister who is based in Singapore brought me a Singapore (Merlion) city mug which I like it very much and during those years I already have like 80+ coffee mugs and only 2pcs. of starbucks city mug, then in December of 1997 starbucks Philippines opens its first store in Makati and I was still living in the province then so February of '98 when I came to visit Manila with a friend I bought the Manila (Jose Rizal) city mug so that's my 3rd city mug and then there was Frankfurt (Skyline) from my brother-in-law's business trip until my city mugs multiplied very fast I now have 140 city mugs on my cupboard which are displayed on my bedroom, starbucks city mug series came out like 227 pcs. from different branches around the world I'll write the list below in alphabetical order. Although starbucks discontinued these series in 2008 because of the new series that is called Icon Mug and I also started collecting this series which I have a few like 70+ now, but it's a come what may way since I am still chasing the 1994 series until now and I found some from eBay site and some rare mugs are quite expensive though I won't spend a fortune just to obtain my goal on completing the city mug series because that will be impossible. I just buy what is still available on eBay and if the price is right I certainly buy them but if not I'm willing to give it up and just drool on it ;P and be contented with what I have.
