Default O/T Sports memorabilia vs. other collecting options
On Tuesday I was a chaperone for my daughters 5 grade class on a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts. It's amazing how many great works of art are housed there.

I have to admit my heart was beating a little faster than normal as I was closely inspecting a Vincent Van Gogh self portrait painting from no more than a foot away. Thinking about the incredible value of the painting got me thinking about other potential collecting avenues.

I was wondering if any members here have other unusual or different interests other than sports memorabilia?

I've always really loved art. I guess going to art auctions when I was a kid really had an impact on me. But my love for cards/memorabilia triumphs the art collection. I have recently gotten really gotten into a combination of the two. Sports art is really catching on and I love it.

The centerpiece of my sports collection is a gorgeous Graig Kreindler painting.

His work is nothing short of amazing.

My neighbor collects 1600s-1700s English silver pitchers and has a mantle that goes all around his living room (all the walls) that displays them. The only problem is he's an elitist snob with a prickly personality, but he'll give you a tour if you're interested and answer all your questions. He warms to you a bit when he finds out you're a fellow collector and will ask you about what you collect, even if it's baseball memorabilia.

In addition to cards and memorabilia, I like to pick up watches to commemorate special occasions.

I wish I could collect paintings, but I have to enjoy them through museums. I consider my two Kreindler studies to be extensions of my vintage memorabilia habit. When I worked for an airline and could take day trips, one of my favorites was to go to D.C., have a hot dog from a mall vendor, slowly walk through the impressionist area, then just sit on a bench in front of a Degas painting. Nothing better to clear my head - I think it was mostly the hot dog water.

I went back to D.C. two years ago and they had moved my painting

I also collect pre-wwii pool cues and Edward Curtis photographs/gravures.

I custom make my own guitars and have a pretty sweet Beatles and Metallica collection.

Here's a replica I made and hand painted myself of George Harrison's "Rocky" guitar:



Here's George's playing the real "Rocky"


Here's my "Joker" Gibson Flying V that I painted myself:

I collect some Guinness Original artwork paintings. These were either turned into the final poster or was part of the development of them.
