Do you collect things?

You ever thought about putting the pic on loan to the Airport?

Sounds cool. The horse is jumping over a fence (I think), but it's torn.

The poster was $300. The most for the black panther was around $100. I just like it.

I used to have a pretty extensive coin collection. Sold off the majority of it several years ago. Have a lot model trains--HO scale. My father has an enormous Lionel Train collection from the 1940s and 50s. All I seem to collect now is a bunch of failed relationships. lol

Coins are cool. So are the trains. Sorry about the failed relationships, but maybe they were for the best.

Ah, my stash is growing as we speak! I have about a box full of Mustang magazines I need to get rid of. Mostly Mustang Monthly, SVT Enthusiast, etc. The only one I want to keep is an issue which lists all of the Mustang clubs, and my husband's name was listed.

I also have kept most of my concert ticket stubs - except for a few. I was young when I first started going, so I didn't save my Monkees and Led Zeppelin tickets. I do have some autographed ones too (Social Distortion, Candlebox, Shawn Phillips (for us older folks), etc.

I have a ton of 40-50 year old football cards. Good ones. I don't think card collecting is something people do anymore.

My son has an O.J. Simpson football card.

I collect artwork from all around the world ... Here are a few charcoal and watercolor paintings that I have acquired from my favorite artist:

Those are so cool! Watercolor and charcoal were two of my favorite mediums when I drew. I haven't done it in years, but

Those are so cool! Watercolor and charcoal were two of my favorite mediums when I drew. I haven't done it in years, but I was not near as talented as this person.

Mostly WWI Russian military then have a few Soviet era stuff like a T-62, T-80 Tankers helmet complete with hookup and throat mics. Have everything the Russians ordered off of the firearms manufactuer's of the US during WWI except for a Colt 1911 the last one I seen was 3 years ago and it had a WWII Hi Standard replacement barrel. Had no idea if it was done here in the states or it could of been a WWII lend lease type deal before it got reimported, but it went for almost $6400 that is way more than what I would of spent for a non complete example.

And here they are from left to right Winchester 1895 in 7.62X54R, New England Westinghouse M91 and Remington M91 contract

I always had a poker chip or two left over from trips I throw in my golf bag and use as ball markers. Never intended to collect them but friends started to send them to me after noticing. It just sort of happened.

I don't collect anything of value, but did start keeping match boxes from vacations where I've had a cigar.

I didn't even notice until I had a decent collection of them, then started actively keeping them.

I would love to watch his technique when he paints. When people first view my art room and see his work they take a quick glance at his work thinking they are simply photos but once I explain they are paintings they get up REAL close and stare at them for a looong time.

Used to

Collected sports cards (football mostly) when younger. Got back into it again about 10 years ago. It’s all about knowing the right stuff to get its condition and it needs to be graded by a reputable 3rd party grader (psa or BGS) to be worth much unless you are sitting on a 1952 topps Mickey Mantle somewhere. Good thing I got into it when I did. I wouldn’t be able to afford a lot of the cards I have now. They have gone up significantly in value over the last 5 years. Just check the eBay auctions. Some of my highlights. Looking at about $24K below at current market prices in recent auctions. My 3 year old will probably end up with them someday.

I don't collect anything historic but start getting into guns. I have been buying them lately.

I'm working on a goal of being on Pickers

I collect records (only the bands etc I listen to). Up to almost 1400 and running out of space.
Also collect random Mustang parts lol

Bicentennial quarters probably have over hundred dollars worth rolled up in various conditions. I work retail so it's easy to find. Along with them I look for any kind of silver coins/rare coins. Usually only find the silver but every once in a while find an old. Buffalo head nickel or mercury dime.

When I was young I collected Transformers toys. I have about 30ish that I haven’t looked at in a while but I know where they are.

I would probably admit collecting has dominated my life LOL. Then again ...nothing wrong with that if you're making money.

yes !! so much win !!!

Still have a decent number of my old comic books. Especially proud of my X-Men crossover "Fatal Attractions". Its the series where Magneto builds his second mutant haven (Avalon) and the X-Men have to stop his nefarious plans.

During the final battle, Wolverine almost gets a kill on Magneto. In defiance, Magneto rips ALL of Wolverine's adamantium skeleton out of his body, leaving a wrecked Wolverine.

Seeing Magneto finally crossing the line, Professor X psionically attacks Magneto and essentially absorbs his consciousness rendering Magneto a vegetable. Ironically enough, this act is what eventually leads Professor X to be consumed by a mix of Magneto's and his dark side. Manifested into the villain known as Onslaught.

I also have the Batman issue where Bane breaks his back. Pretty cool.
