Other things that we here collect

[36GoudeyMan]

.... 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.

Coins, Stamps, Comicbooks, and Sportscards. At the moment i'm only interested in my tobacco cards. I still keep an eye out for the other stuff but don't buy any. I have too much at this point and don't even know what I have.

[Runscott]

Pre-ww2 pool cues, Edward Curtis photographs, pre-ww2 Stetson-related.

For you comic book collectors, I have about 1,000 mostly silver-age super-hero that I'm about to begin selling in $100+ lots - would prefer to trade for cards.

I collect selected 1/43rd scale diecast and resin racing sports cars, a few Grand Prix, a very few NASCAR, a few Indianapolis 500, a few World Land Speed Record cars and WWS Boats, and a very few passenger cars. The era covers essentially 1929 to 1973, with a few exceptions older and more recent.

Along with this I dabble in various media related to the cars I collect, which complements the collection, as well as giving me more inspiration and relevance to why the particular car is important to me. Of such includes vintage and current magazines, books, VHS, and DVDs

The cars' individual histories relating to their given exploits, as well as their drivers, have moved me deeply for over 50 years. The passion is lava-hot.

I have a pretty big music collection. I'm not much of a record collector type, I just buy a lot of music - vinyl records, CDs, digital downloads. Mostly contemporary independent rock, 1970s punk and 1950s bebop these days.

Someday I'll start collecting concert handbills and tin robots, because I love both, but I need a place to put them first.

Very nice find

[wolf441]

Not worth any $$, but anytime we go on vacation near the ocean, my kids and I collect seaglass. Anytime you find a blue or red piece, it's been a good day!

[doug.goodman]

I don't exactly "collect" them (anymore) but I have hundreds of heavy metal shirts, tickets, albums (vinyl) and 45s. Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, Metallica, Yngwie, Sweet Savage, Holocaust, Mercyful Fate, Dio, etc.

One of these days I should take pictures and do scans of them all.

Awesome, love to see those.

At one time I had a pretty nice collection of Metal vinyl albums, used to make trips to Rasputins on Telegraph Ave. to find the "good stuff"

The really good stuff was at the Record Vault on Polk in the city, or at the Record Exchange in Walnut Creek.

Although, Rasputin's was closer to the Berkeley Keystone (and maybe Ruthie's Inn) than either of the other two were to any metal clubs.

[JollyRoger]

Fishing lures

[bcbgcbrcb]

Food & Beverage advertising items, i.e.- Pepsi, Coca Cola, Denny's, etc.

[HercDriver]

I brew beer at home, so I always visit local breweries when I'm in a new town. Whenever I do, I try to pick up a pint glass with their logo on it to serve my beer in. Beer and baseball cards...a great combo!

Take Care,
Geno

[cockrellcollection]

I also collect 19th century americana/political emphemera, mostly civil war related especially if it crosses over with my hometown (Auburn, NY home of William Seward) or ancestors involvement (F.M. Cockrell, General and later Senator from Missouri).

I don't know this is considered a collection or not, but I love real root beer. I try any hand-crafted ones that i see, and have over 50 bottles that I refuse to throw away. Is that collecting?

Side note, if anyone is interested in what some of the best root beers are, I'm your guy!

Now those are some nice cards! I have one, but only in unlimited.

For those who aren't into them, that's The J Jackson, Ruth, Wagner, Plank, etc for the magic card crowd.
Not moneywise, but certainly in impact.
I had another of the big ones in Unlimited,(The Black Lotus) and the two tournaments I played it caused quite a stir when I played it. Of course, I lost every single game I played for almost 2 years until I traded it away.......Yes, the card was the star.

[slidekellyslide]

Postcards focused on Lincoln, Nebraska. I have probably 700-800 different. It fulfills my "need" to collect since the stuff I really love (Lincoln minor league and Nebraska Indians) shows up so seldom anymore that I get bored. I also sideline into Disneyland and Disney World postcards...you'd be surprised how many different postcards there are of those two parks.
