I collect ex-wives and ex-girlfriends.

Sports cards. Between my baseball card collection and my football card collection, I have around 20,000 cards. I've been collecting since I was like 6 years old. Some are pretty valuable. I made sure to get my Leonard Fournette card, shortly after the draft. Hopefully, the value skyrockets!

Funny - when I watch a "Hoarders" show every one of those strange people seem to resent being called hoarders. They prefer "collectors".

Hmm.

The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.

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.

My family used to have a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.. I used to love playing Bubble Bobble, Speed Buggy, Skate or Die and Winter Games.

In terms of what I collect; when I go to a sporting event, I collect the matchday programme/magazine. I have all of the Jaguars ones from the Wembley games, the one from EverBank Field last year (It was a free handout, mainly full of adverts?) and I have hundreds upon hundreds of Soccer ones from over the years.. like boxes and boxes.

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...


 

I used to collect empty beer cans. Now my medical condition prevents me from doing that.

I need to find something new to collect.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.







 

The theme is mostly "functional" since music is my profession.  I do prefer vintage gear - or modern boutique makers of vintage designs.

When it comes to gear, guitar players are humorously peculiar. It's as if we refuse to be dragged into the 21st century. In most professions I can think of, people desire state-of-the-art tools. Meanwhile, we're spending fortunes on tube amps and tape delays.

May sound strange but I collect hiking trails. I've never been much into stuff (possessions), so I collect hiking trails. I always snap a photo of the trail head and then the summit, view, whatever the best spot along the trail is, usually the at the top. One trail, Eagle Creek, went behind an waterfall, so that obviously had to be the pic.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

Yeah.  I'm in a similar boat. 

It's likely that the only new instrument I ever buy or endorse will be a boutique modern copy of a 1959 model that is tough to find. 

I currently play a horn from 1961 on gigs. 

Vintage tape delays are awesome, BTW.
