And Jay... that's incredible! How in the hell do you keep track of it all?

My head is still spinning.

So Jay... when I say that it's incredible how you can juggle all that what you collect... I really mean it!

Thanks for the kind words. I've downsized quite a bit over the past 10 years. I've gone from about 45 1960-70s era 12" GI Joes down to 4, and sold off all but 1 box of my comics; keeping only the ones that still "mean" something to me. I've also downsized my baseball card collection quite a bit, selling off all my Topps/Fleer/Donruss sets from the 1960s-early 80s and keeping only Topps 1976-79 sets, and focusing on Padres team sets from 1973-75, 1980-84.

True story, hopefully appreciated by any book collectors. Any time I go into a Half Price book store, I go immediately to the "Nostalgia" section and look at the children's books. I scored a first edition Three Investigators #1 Secret of Terror Castle for $4 in pretty nice shape. Only the first editions had the sewn in text block and print error on page 67.

Pays to search, sometimes.

In addition to boxing cards and memorabilia, I collect items from the late, great World Hockey Association ... and the U.S. presidential campaigns of George Wallace (1964-68-72-76).

Other than vintage and modern cards and memorabilia, I collect vintage and modern vinyl records.
