What do you collect?

Recommended Posts

I'm collecting debt. It seems to self-propagate.

I was never much of a collector. In younger days, mobility was a keyword and dragging a collection around with you is a pain-in-the-ass. In later years, when stability was the keyword, she wouldn't stand for it because it wouldn't fit in with the decor. Now, being a DZ bum, and an old-fart, there's just simply no point in it.

I did collect three divorces along the way. Does that count? I'm trying to keep up with my sister who has five, so far. I like her philosophy: Wear 'em out, throw 'em out.
:D:D

As I was running on my treadmill tonight, I was looking around the room. Got to wondering what other things people collect?

Strung around the top of the room, I have about 500 keychains.



I collect a rock on every hike I do. Plan to make a fountain in my front yard.

Poker Chips from Casino I have played in. I usually keep at least a couple $1 Chips and occasionally a $5 Chip or two if they are pretty cool. I have about 200 Chips now. Still working on getting around to putting them in a Display.

Toys from my Childhood.
I have Rock em Sock Em Robots, Several Evel Knevel Stunt Cycles, Stretch Arm Strong All in Great Condition in a Display case in my office.

Betty Page Memorabilia. Preferably older stuff not the reproduction or mass market stuff you see everywhere now.

I always get a magnet every time I go some place new. I have 2 fridges at my house, a big one and a little beer fridge next to the couch. They are both full of magnets. I love traveling and its fun to be reminded of all the neat places I've been to.

Old books (especially related to my interests in astronomy, stamps & postal history, physics, atlases, etc.) & magazines (I have nearly every National Geographic from about the mid-40's), stamps, LP's (I've got a bunch of very unique promotional stuff from DJ days), a couple dozen old cameras, 1000's of old matchbooks (stored in old mason jars to reduce fire hazard), wine corks from many many memorable events (hundreds of them in a huge fancy green-glass urn, and a few other tidbits.

I am the packrat extraordinaire. It's fall and time for the biannual purge.

My biggest collection blunder - giving away my sack of baseball cards to a friends little brother. I had damn near every card from about a 5 year stretch (early to late 60's), and multiples of most. That was back when it was actuially a challenge to get full sets, and they were worth something. I've seen many of the cards in shops at several hundreds of $, some over $1000. DOH!

When I was in the Army in the 1961to1964 On the east coast/ I collected Beer can openers from all the different beers I drank.After going to Germany I kept the Beer Platz [coasters] Each Gast Haus had their own beer it also served as your tab . They would count the lines for each beer and "X" for food .I. still have many boxes to look through. My main collection is Boogie T-Shirts ,I have them back to 1969 And an original BOGGIE from Richmond . I also have over150 Various degree of disgusting ones that were given to me because the donor didnt have the guts to wear it themselves.My favorite is one with a girls boobs and fantastic body painted on it. To watch the reactions from it is priceless.
