I also like to collect odd shaped or twisted tree limbs and I turn them into walking sticks. you will often find me walking around the yard or just somewhere out in teh woods wiht my stick. Daughter thinks Im nuts...but when you are out on a stroll...you gotta have a walking stick...dotn ya? well at least I do. And while we are on the subject of collecting things....my wife she has started a new collection. She does alot of quilting and sewing...so she is into collecting Thimbles. the old metal ones...so ifyou all have any laying around or you see one...pick it up for me. I will pay for em, just keep em under 5 bucks or so...it would tickle her pink if she knew there was a bunch of bald guys out looking for thimbles. LOL

Missed this topic back in July....and this perfect opportunity to bust on Paulie....but I'll be nice.

I used to collect Levis 501's back in my twenties (no use now as I can't fit into them) Back at school I went on a 2 month trip to Pakistan. While I was there I used to collect car cards that came out of them. They used to have info details about the various models. That was back in circa 1987. When I came back I asked my future wife to be to post them to me.

A few years back, I got involved with a group of "Produce Seal" collectors... ...you know, banana labels and such...
My brother in law was a stamp collector who introduced me to a lunatic fringe group of stamp collectors. Their hobby was being overwhelmed by people who professed that in order to be a "legitimate" collection, you had to do it a certain way. In protest, at a national convention, several members included banana labels in their stamp collection displays, and the Produce Seal Society was born.
The PSS2 agreed that they would collect no dues, elect no officers, write no bylaws and that produce seals have no monitary value. In connection with the Precancel Stamp Society national convention, they held an annual disorganizational meeting at a breakfast (cereal and bananas were served). It was just to make sure nobody had any ideas about organizing anything.
It was all in fun, and a stamp album of produce seals does make an interesting collection. I have over 130 different Chiquita Banana labels alone.

I collect autographed baseball cards. I do most of my collecting through the mail. I write a letter to a player and send him the card or cards I want signed and include a sase for him to send it back in. Most sign for free. I enjoy getting the ones from the guys that played in the 50's the most. They are great guys. Sometimes they add extra cards and write short notes to ya.

I have collected rare succulents and cactus for many years. Stopped buying them, but still maintain a great selection. I also collect Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) artwork. It's very festive, happy and celebratory. I have even started designing my own ceramic skull pieces (I will have to show them off sometime).
I also have a (Hear, See, and Speak no Evil) monkey collection that I started a few years back. It is still growing. My garage is filled with beer bottle caps from around the world. I have thousands, upon thousands of caps. I'm hoping to create a huge art piece from them... most likely a festive skull Day of the Dead skull.
I think that's about it.... I guess I don't have to say it, but-can-you-say O-C-D??? Or maybe pack-rat is more fitting??? No, I take pride in these things..... seriously.
-
I collect too many things.
Toys, Little metal D&D figures (even though I don't play D&D, I paint em ) Comics, Books, Magazines, Music, Movies, Video Games.
Actually I pretty much ran out of room for stuff years ago.

You know, I've never thought about trading. once I get a hold of one of those elusive and rare $50, I like to hold onto them....especially if they are given to me.
Nice try.... :*))
