Who am I?
My Ongoing Mission
My name is Keith Rose, and I have been passionate about collecting since childhood. One of my earliest memories is from 1966, when my grandfather took me to a toy shop in London. He allowed me to choose several Timpo toy soldiers—I chose carefully, and I still have them today. That moment was the beginning of a lifelong passion.
Over the years, my love of popular culture grew alongside iconic shows and films such as Thunderbirds, James Bond, Doctor Who, and then, one Saturday, Star Trek. From that day forward, I was hooked. For more than 50 years I have collected books, videos, DVDs, action figures, trading cards, and a wide variety of TV and film memorabilia.
For many years I ran a newsagent shop, which I expanded into a comic book store. During that time, I also helped establish our own Star Trek fan club—Ipswich Starfleet—in Suffolk, UK. Sharing collectibles and connecting with fellow fans was always a joy and a privilege.
After a period of teaching, I eventually retired and returned to my passion by selling collectibles on eBay. Starshop Collectibles is the next step in that journey—a website dedicated to helping fellow fans discover treasured items from their favorite films and shows. Through this site, my YouTube channel, and other social media, I aim to share knowledge, spark discussions, and make it easier to buy and sell all things collectible.
Thank you for visiting StarshopCollectibles.com. I hope you find what you are looking for—and as we say in the Star Trek universe, may this site, and your collection
Live Long and Prosper.
