I think I could write a hundred+ page book on all the collecting stories, and collections I enjoy. Here is a short list of some of the items that fascinate me: Any sports items from the 1800s, especially photos, gems and minerals since about age 12, Artwork of all types: paintings, bronzes, sculptures, computer history items, advertising signs, game used NBA shoes, jerseys, floors, skateboard decks as art from 1970s to today, vintage 70's to today Nike sportswear, and shoes.
I actually collect anything that catches my eye while on my weekly collecting trips: from an old 100 lb carved granite Buddah head for $40.00 to a mint condition 1940s Coca-Cola sign for $60.00! Anything artistic or historic for bargain prices! That's why my saying is, "Variety is the Spice of Life" as I get tired and bored of one thing and go into other things. I think auction catalogs are some of the best things to collect, as you can never come close to owning even 10% of the stuff in those. Here are a few pics:
