Other things that we here collect

[Bigb13]

I was wondering what other things us old baseball card collectors collect?

[bbcard1]

I collect all sorts of Marshall College/University memorabilia. I tend to pick up a rock from everywhere interesting I go to...don't know why, I just do. I am considering investing in a low-end antique car, a driver...but we will see. I also play Apba and probably also collect to some degree.

A rock very cool idea I would never have thought to do that. Rob ps I do have an 81 Corvette that's as old as I can afford lol

I collect some old coins, mostly wheat back pennies, but I've bought a few other things cheap I thought were cool, like these old coins:

I dabble in coins with my oldest daughter, but nothing worth more than face value.

My wife and I pick up a double shot glass at each place we vacation at. We don't even really use them, but they look cool.

And I guess I collect DVDs since I have a bajillion of them although I'm not REALLY collecting them!

Boy scout patches and neckerchiefs from order of the arrow lodges, camps, and National Jamborees (pre 1970). These can rival baseball cards in terms of collector enthusiasm. Some OA patches are worth more than 30,000.00. I also collect almost anything boy scout related from the first decade of scouting in the US (1910-1920) as well as some camp patches from New England and New York. I am always curious if anyone else collects this, or if anyone has their childhood stash they might be interested in trading or selling.

Me too.

I also try to pick up a souvenir pin as well. They're small, colorful, inexpensive, easy to store and display. Take up no space. Smaller than the coffee mugs I was collecting.

I have been collecting these for about the past 2 years. I have approx 6 different models: including a minty 1954 Polish M44.

Gonna need a bigger safe if I keep it up.

Probably video games. I'm 34, so, NES/SNES were in the wheelhouse of my childhood. Still have a SNES set up in the house to go along with the 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS. Mostly buy, play and sell games though, don't really collect.

.... Golden Age (1938-1951) comics, 1840s British stamps (Penny Blacks and related items), 19th Century US coins (smaller denominations), US Supreme Court autographs... there's a LOT more time spent looking than buying so "collecting" may be more of an active verb than appropriate....

The Cascade Miner newspaper (1892-1912). There are only two known copies of the Miner (one at the Library of Congress & second at Roslyn, Washington Museum). I have more than 30 readable fragments. Last month, I went on a hike to the ghost town of Lester, Washington where I like to search the old homes for newspapers that were once used for insulation. Found a home falling down around itself with what appears to be hundreds of one weekly issue (October 10, 1907) stuffed into the walls. My most significant find to date. Been itching to get my hands on them but have to wait for permission from the landlord, Burlington Northern. It's been four weeks, still nothing.

Me too. I still have a NES hooked up and I play it fairly often. I don't really "collect" the games either, I basically just have an accumulation of games that I've picked up for it over the years.
