Besides Sportscards collecting, how's about sharing with us your other hobbies

I've come across some of those diving in the South Pacific- some have darts they throw out with venom. Never pick one up. Wish I'd gotten to see that collection when I was at your house Jay, they look pretty spectacular.


Besides cards I travel a lot, typically developing countries, about half the time on scuba trips. While photography is my work at home (for advertising purposes) my hobby is travel and underwater photography. Eventually those images make it to my instagram account, @anthonynex

Right now, my main hobby is Rubik's Cube speedsolving and puzzle collecting. I've solved the cube in 29 seconds and have a collection of roughly 70 puzzles of various shapes and sizes.

Pretty much just card collecting, but checking into another idea to keep me busy.

Hi Ted,

Besides being an avid Bass fisherman, I walk the local countryside hunting American Indian artifacts. My grandfather hunted them and taught my father how to find them. My father taught me as well when I was a little boy. 40+ years later and I'm still out there looking for them.

Below are a couple photos I took last year of one of my finds. These are called "insitu" photos and you can see exactly what I see when I find an artifact before picking them up. One photo is from my point of view and the second is a close up.

Vintage Halloweenia (Pre-War, especially, of course!!!)

I used to dabble a little bit in collecting currency. These days, I really only look for small-size National Banknotes for a few select banks, mainly in RI. It's been a long time since I could add anything to that collection, so that's why my focused shifted back to my T206 Providence collection.

I am also into cars, although this hasn't moved in 15 years due to a cooked motor. I also boat, fish, tube, water ski and have a summer escape I try to get to as much as possible in the summer.

I use to ATV and dirt bike (this one is sold I believe?) and I am currently still an avid snowmobiler.
Aside from those I am also an assistant coach and hockey trainer for my son's hockey team, which keeps me fairly busy at times!

Most mechanical work I try and do myself, including work on my vehicles, snowmobiles, etc plus I also do a little on the side for some of my friends.

I am hoping to retire in less than 2 yrs, and I am looking forward to it! I currently work at Darlington Nuclear plant and have been here close to 35 yrs now. I started when I was 18 and I am currently 53. Freedom 55 is looking really good!

Outside of my passion for vintage NY Highlanders items, I am avid collector, preserver, restorer and hoarder of classic Video Arcade machines (therein lies the genesis o my Net54 sobriquet)

What year is that Monte? I had a 1975 and would love to have one again. But, after having 3 Mustangs and an old tractor, I realized I wasn't much of a mechanic!

I have two ponds and a river on my farm. I catch these as consolation prizes when the trout are hiding.
