I kind of started collecting country music ephemera and autographs. Here is a signed 1961 Johnny Cash fan Club membership card.

I have a collection of over 700 Horatio Alger, Jr. books. Horatio was a prominent author of stories for boys who went from rags to riches, perhaps best known for his Ragged Dick series.

I'll start with my model kit collection then.
I've been collecting unbuilt model kits since about 1983. Here from a few years ago are some pics of my main model cabinet in the den where I keep a lot of my collectibles: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's the miscellaneous toy cabinet in which I keep the overflow from my model kit cabinet: ![]() ![]() And a few close-up shots featuring Styx: ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are my three latest acquisitions which aren't pictured in the shots of the cabinets: Revell 1/24 Mr. Rat Fink in Lotus Ford ![]() ![]() It's over the top wild cool! Revell launched the above two slot car kits in 1965 with this ad in magazines such as Car Model and Boy's Life: ![]() The two kits are demand scarce because of x-over interest from both "Big Daddy" Roth fans and slot car enthusiasts Monogram 1/24 Indy Lotus Type 38 ![]() ![]() The Indy Lotus is widely hailed as being among Monogram's very finest slot car offerings and mint-in-box ones are super difficult to find these days. Cox 1/24 Ford GT40 ![]() ![]() Cox was technically almost half a year ahead of the other slot car manufacturers during the slot car boom of 1964-67 (and bust in 1968). And the 1/24 scale Ford GT40 is among Cox's all around best when combining both appearance and performance. The other kits on my list look somewhat crude in comparison to this Cox Ford GT40. Unassembled ones are also tough to find these days. The GT40 will nonetheless be knocked from my list of favourites if and when I manage to score a 1/24 Cox Cheetah. ![]()
