What do you collect?
|
I have collected a few things throughout the years. I have two now, but one main one.
The main one are LJN WWF wrestling figures from the 80's. I have almost the complete set in pretty good condition. I have a couple rare ones to go and added one that I needed last night. (If anyone has any, pm me) The second I just started and my son has gotten really into. We bought some cheap Disney pins online and go to the parks and he loves to trade with the Disney employees. I buy a pin when we go to visit as well. Edit: I have a decent collection of Jags memorabilia, autographs, and random stuff as well.....as well as my Less Than Jake collection.

Guns. I have many. Ammo as well. I have thousands upon thousands of rounds. Some would call it a freakish hoard.
![]() Also, precious metals. I try to purchase at least two ounces of gold per year, silver and others when I see what I consider wise investments. No one calls this collection a freakish hoard. ![]() I do not display my collections.
Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.

Cigars and guns/ammo.
We learned in the Sunday School who made the sun shine through. I know who made the moonshine too, back where I come from.

Do you have a "theme"- vintage, interesting styles/look or just anything? I probably only have about 9 or 10 instruments plus an assortment of recording equipment. I purged much of my collection when I moved 2 years ago. The theme is mostly "functional" since music is my profession. I do prefer vintage gear - or modern boutique makers of vintage designs. I just remembered -- I do collect one other thing. When you perform at a music festival you receive an "artist badge" as your backstage credentials on a lanyard. I've kept a couple hundred of those over the years and counting. They are in shoe boxes in my closet. It's silly-sentimental, I know, but I think combing through them years from now will bring back a flood of memories from my travels.

It's cool now to pull out the box of about 1000 matchbooks and look through them, many of them tell a story or recall a good time. I'm glad I kept them.(10-19-2017, 03:40 PM)PF* Wrote: Now that's interesting- how many musical instruments do you have? Do you have a "theme"- vintage, interesting styles/look or just anything? Funny, a sports ticket to one event is almost the same as to any sports event; a matchbook from a bar in Cheyenne, Wyoming brings back much more specific memories.

Besides firearms my only other "collection" is probably weird to some people.
I'm an electronics/computer geek. I have a lot of electronics test gear from the '70's, '80's and '90's which includes power supply's, oscilloscopes, multi-meters, etc. I also have a few vintage computers including an Altair 8800, a Commodore 64 and parts of a PDP-11. I've been kind of watching for an original Apple 1, though it's not a high priority for me. I'm not willing to shell out what some people are asking for them. An Apple 2 is cool, but not really the same. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We show less advertisements to registered users.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
I collect bills. I have several boxes of unopened bills in my garage.
"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
I don't really collect anything. I just buy random [BLEEP] I don't need in all honesty. I picked up a cheap electric guitar, a didgeridoo, some paint and a few canvases to express my artistic freedom but then I found myself lacking the willpower to do any of that [BLEEP]. So technically it's collecting dust for the time being.
