collecting.......
« on: July 05, 2007, 08:00:59 PM »
what do you guys collect if anything. i have a frog collection that started when i was a kid. thinking of starting with razors too. the wife likes clowns and mardigras masks. she also has alot of chili pepper stuff(not the band) our house is sorta southwest themed and the chilis fit well. just curious about what you guys may collect or just have laying around.

I don't collect anything with a passion, but I have a hard time passing up old woodworking tools.  I also started smoking a pipe about 6 years ago and have a small collection of pipes.

I used to collect baseball cards like a mad man.

I don't really collect anything. I have a massive collection of hockey and baseball cards from when I was a kid. I also have a small collection of bridge tokens and "antique" coins.

I've got a die cast fire engine collection and a miniature light house collection from when I was in the Coast Guard.  In fact my den is decorated with fire service memorabelia and my living is decorated in nautical motiff.  Finally, my garage is a dive locker  chocked full of scuba gear ^-^.

I,like many of you , collected Basketball cards for many years and my collection would be worth quite a bit. I have 3 Michael Jordan rookie cards. Have been appraised at 1200 dollars.


I also collect coins from all over the world. I collect beer bottles too. I have over 100 from 39 different countries.

Used to collect sports cards and memorabilia, but now I'm really into collecting Superman stuff - I'm addicted but I've always been a big fan.  I do love collecting books though.  Have all of John Grisham's books and all of James Patterson's books.
