Shortly after seeing the movie, I began to buy anything I saw that was Jaws related. In the days long before Home Video and the Internet this meant anything that I just happened to see in a store. As you can imagine, collecting was very slow in the beginning, and starting around 1976, toys began to slowly enter the market. In the early 1980's, pre-recorded video tapes became available and there was a resurgence of Jaws collectables. Then with Home Internet becoming available in the early 1990's, and the launch of eBay in 1995, the way we collected things changed forever.

​

Over the years as my collection grew, I still tried my best to display everything. As this became increasingly more difficult, I began to store items in plastic bins. Fast forward to 2025, and my collection has completely taken over a portion of my home, and the plastic bin count is at 110 and growing.

​

I have decided that a website would be the best way to show my collection. It is a "work-in-progress" and I am always adding to it and making changes. If you have questions about an item, I will be my best to answer it, but bear in mind that I don't remember where or when I bought most of these items. I'm also open to any thoughts on improving the website, so just send me a message!   thejawsvault@gmail.com
