Name your collection

All I collect nowadays are Harmon Killebrew pre-1976 cards and memorabilia.

In the early to mid-1980s, I collected everything Topps Baseball, with a focus on test issues; in the late '80s-early '90s I switched to a type collection (one of everything in the price guide, pre-1970); then I quit altogether for about 17 years (actually I switched to pre-1970 comics and original comic art) until I decided to do this Killebrew thing.

There are all kinds of fun ways to collect. The problem for me was always wanting to display and be surrounded by as much of my collection as possible. Once it got too big and/or too valuable, I would make the switch (it's fun owning rare stuff, but less fun IMO if you have to keep it in a safety deposit box).

I've always tried for collections that were attainable, but not easily attainable. Sometimes the quest can be more fun than the acquisition.
