What would you collect if it wasn't Baseball?

Rick, I love that Black Cat piece; one of my alltime favorite movies.

All the seats in Congress held by Liberal Democrats- Would replace each with a true patriotic Republican- then we could each have the finest tea known to man,
(and woman) together with President Palin

If we could afford that hobby, we would also add ultra high condition, rare US
patterns and Territorial Gold coins-

In the interim, we're investing heavily in our own currency- ultra rare, top condition baseball memorabilia.

Dan -- love the Secret Squirrel!

Rick -- just curious -- what exactly is the Black Cat poster enclosed in? It looks terrific.

It's an old chrome display case, commonly mounted to exterior walls of theatres, drug stores, etc. The case locks shut and has a thermometer built in at the top center. There isn't any manufacturer data on it. I picked it up a couple of years ago; I like to use old cases and racks display things as they were originally presented. Here are a few other examples:

Right now I collect large cents, those big American pennies that were issued between 1793 and 1857. The thing I like best about them is there is so much to learn. I'm still at the stage where every time I pick up one of my large cent books I discover something new. That is as much fun to me as acquiring a new coin.

And if I ever start a new hobby I would want to add to my LP collection. I have about 700 rock and jazz albums, but rarely add anything anymore. And I listen to them all the time.

Boy Rick. That comic book rack is sweet! Your vast collection continues to amaze!

Great responses from all. I don't think we've had any dupes as of yet, which is very telling.

religious iconography

in 'weak' moments, i have picked up a few belgian pieces of stained glass,
a Joseph with lilies statue from a cathedral niche in st. tropez, and gorgeous
Russian orthodox icons, and a few others---
but the Monster's eyes always twinkle in glee so i settle down to do my baseball fairly quickly.

best,

I'd collect vintage Subbuteo (table soccer game invented in England in the late 40's) teams and equipment.
