don't collect any other type of glass. It's not a huge collection but it displays well. I shop for bargains now mostly and some of the larger pieces i don't have.

You can see some it in the showcase.

I'm pretty sure it's cheating to buy someone else's collection and call it collecting.....:biggrin:

concealer404

Cars. Not really the good kind, though.

Currently up to 5.

mrbigbluelight

I collect traffic tickets. Save up enough, than I have to clear 'em out and start over again.

Good point there.

Thers's no thrill of the hunt involved anymore.
It's just, I'm so rich, I don't have to spend the time and search for anything.

But I do like that collection and how it's displayed alot. Must have been fun for the original owner to amass all of it. The add said, 10,000 pieces....WOW


I forgot to add that I buy cool art objects to. The crystal, porcelin(sp) and also animated movie figurines or stuffed charactures. Oh , how could I forget....Chess sets. Chess boards too. I have some nice ones.Even an Ohmes walnut set from the 60's in mint cond. (thrift store find with a antique Drueke board also for 30.00!!!) Love the game!

oh, I've gotten onto a Spawn figure thing and they're hard to find, but this collection would just be cool to get just because there so many pieces! 10,000 pieces for $10,000 = at $10 each $100,000 worth assuming they're only worth that much each... and assuming anybody will buy em' from you lol

Scott, from what I recall you have nice collection of these.

muncybob

shot glasses...now I have to build a bar for our game room to show them off. No longer collect baseball cards but I came across what I had from my pre-teen years(going back a bit now!) in a shoebox in my parent's attic. A friend told me I have some serious $$ in there although I hear the market isn't what it was a few years ago. Some examples for you BB card nuts are: 3 Johnny Bench rookie cards, 4 various Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Bob Gibson, etc...fairly young Joe Torre when he was with the Braves. Wife says to sell them and finally do the upgrade from an avr to pre-pro set up but I know I'll miss them when they are gone.

mrbiron

You'll miss them when 20 years from now, prices skyrocket again and those cards are worth more than "Some Serious $$".

Seems I collect tubes

I collect early CDs. Basically, CD made between 1982 - 1989 in Japan or West Germany. CDs from that era were generally better made and because I grew up with the format, I am fascinated by the history of it. Here' re some examples....

[I'm starting to collect early US made CDs as well (the first CD made in the US for consumers was, naturally, Springsteen's "Born in the USA"). CDs like these, which I doubt will ever get a proper reissue....

I had a 1983 EMI Japan Beatles Abbey Road CD that I wish I had never opened. It is long gone now unfortunately...

Mr. Sharpe

My favorite show all time. Best of the cards I have, and I have a ton of the playing cards.:biggrin:

I collect thoughts to use in my own way

I collect the tears of young children.

Really though, I collect any and all VW's from Hot Wheels, Matchbox and the like.

Me too, also the johnny lightning, jada and dubs too...Goes nicely with my real VW'S. As a matter of fact the 67 in my user name stands for my 1967 beetle. I've also got a 63 beetle and have owned nearly 25 different aircooled dubs.

I have 1,000's too! It's one of my other sick habits, btw, the 1:1's are going for huge money at auction lately, $120,000 for a 21 window Kombi bus at Vegas last year, that's why I love my little wee ones.......

so you're rich? lol :biggrin:

BuckeyeTim

I have about 3000 Hot Wheels....all the way back to '69. Still in blisterpacks. Probably 99% of my collection are still sealed. I have lots of limited edition pieces with only a couple hundred made.

I also have a hundred or so unbuilt model cars and trucks...still sealed of course.

But, as of late, I have been on a serious vinyl binge. I am at around 1100 or so at the moment, with a couple hundred more that I am currently "grading" and adding to the mix.

I love the Dubs ones. They have some cool ideas going on. My wife got me into Aircooled VW's. They are just so cool and basic and you can fix them without a laptop.

I saw that on the web. That price was ridiculous and awesome all at the same time. Also why I love the little ones as well.

I have a 67' 21 Window Microbus with Ragtop that is all hippie right now but will be getting a new lease on life starting this summer. I found all kinds of buds and roaches (Not the bug kind) in it when we bought it. My wife has a 73' Thing that is also on the rebuild plan as well.

We are looking for a Beetle that is in decent shape for her.

Dawgfish

I collect flyrods and reels. Or at least I used to before I got engaged.

millerman 3732

Transformers and Blu-rays.

ryanjoachim

I collect computer odds and ends...I had a large shelf with cables, screws, parts, cases, etc just sitting around in my garage for years before my (now ex) made me get rid of it all. You just never know when you're going to need a 15 year old video card!

madmax

Speakers! I think I have about 10 pairs, 10 subs and enough raw drivers to make 10 more pair. I need more room or less furniture if this is to continue...

Somewhere in the basement is a collection of dust bunnies, usually around the back of the dryer

My dust bunny collection is behind my unused hi-fi gear collection :biggrin:

When that Thing gets restored, it needs a " Show me your Thing, and I'll show you mine " bumper sticker on the bumper (baby :eek:)

Thanks Tracy,

It's been fun collecting them. It might be a little sad, but when I was looking for a new house the cabinet location in kitchen and the plant shelf in the living room were kind of what clinched the floor plan. I knew I could finally get all of them out of the closet and put them on display.
