I collect first edition Magic The Gathering Cards.
Fun fact: each card pictured only around 1,000 were ever produced (in the first edition).

Top speed is useless for any normal purpose. It's the acceleration from zero that's the key.

video games, star wars figures, photos, but mostly soccer (and some F1 stuff)... I thought that I had more pictures, but these rare Fangios will have to do for this post....

Not street legal. Worse yet I can't even find an NHRA class for it.

Grew up in the 80's playing arcade games and collected Nintendo NES games when that came out. I was talking to my boss about it one day and he said that he had a guy that refurbishes stand up arcade machines and loads them up with modern equipment and puts many classic games on it. This one I got from him has 4610 total games on it. Haven't played any of my Nintendo games ever since as they are on this stand up.

I have collected comic books, cards, coins, toys, and dice. The comic books are nothing special as I collected in the late 80s through the late 90s. I still have most of my original Star Wars, Transformers, and GI Joe toys, well the ones that survived that is. The things that I actively collect now are old and new Dungeons and Dragons dice, which I have hundreds of, ancient coins, and Magic the Gathering artist proofs of the original 25 artists.

I tell folks, only half kiddingly, that my wife and I collect animals. We have a small hobby farm and have cats, dogs, and horses. Following from that, I collect horse themed pre-war tobacco cards. Mostly early 20th century British issues, but I have also completed all three Kinney Brothers sets (N229 to N231)



I started on the Allen & Ginter World's Racers (N32) but haven't really done much with it in several years, although I do have the album premium



I also help my wife with her mid-century glass collection. She started with barware and has expanded into swung vases, ashtrays, and more recently marbles. Sometimes I feel like I am enabling a hoarder since her collection is starting to consume every flat surface in our small house. But, it makes her happy and she is actively packing away the less interesting items.

I used to put on WW2 fly-ins along with Ace Symposiums, seeing a Hellcat up close, watching them fly by, and talking to the old timers that flew them in combat was a magical experience.
I had many conversations with Buth Voris who was one of the the most gracious humans I've known about his combat experience in a Hellcat, amazing.
Butch started the Blue Angels after the war in 1948 with Hellcats. I miss men like him in today's society.
