That sounds about right.

It looks like my guestbook got hacked, so I just got rid of it.

My favorite parts of my collection is my John Young photo and my STS-107 crew photo...you can find them here. Both are authentic and were obtained for free through the mail. The STS-107 crew was killed on February 1, 2003 when the Space Shuttle Columbia was lost.

The very first item ever sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer that was sold to a collector of broken laser pointers.
My girl friend collects anything to do with saxophones
I have a collection of movie ticket studs from just about every movie i've gone to the theaters to see
My grandpa has a really big collection of beer steins.

 

Movie ticket studs (?) hey! Are those for your girlfriend?

 

Movie ticket studs as in the part they hand back to you after they take your ticket and tear that one part off.

 

Personally I collect Hotwheels and Coins/Paper Money.
As well as gemstones/minerals. I also have a collection of seashells from when I lived in Florida.

But as for things I've heard, I did a project when I was a senior in high school all about collecting.
So I asked people on various forums and such for what they collected:
old bottles, dolls, rocks, etc.
however, one strange one came from a Science Forum (as I do love science) - and the guy essentially collected chemicals - that one I found pretty interesting.

 

Most people call them stubs.

 

I've got the same old standard collections from childhood like comics, spots cards, arrowheads but since I've gotten older my taste has changed.

Coins are a given. I also have a sizable gun collection and small guitar collection. I have a few secrets also.

I love old VW's and anything associated with them. I actually purchased over 100 cars at one time out of a junkyard back in the early 90's and they were all old, aircooled VW's that were headed to the crusher. I have a huge collection of VW memorbilia, VW titles, tag frames, magazine ad's and a ton of old pictures that have VW's in them.

I have a collection of locks and keys from all over the world. My goal is to have something from every country and no, they are not all made the same.

My uber-secret collection is my true pride and joy that nobody understands be me. I have about 70 exterior automobile door handles from luxury/high end cars from as far back as the 50's.

Yeah, I'm a freak.

 

I posted some pics of my sick bag collection before at CT, but for those who haven't seen them yet:

 

Wow, some of these collections are crazy, good crazy tho.

What a great thread !!

 

I would never have thought of collecting those airline bags. Those are not only kewl, they are affordable. Very Nice collection.

 

A cpl of my most prized items, combining my Detroit non sports with my Reagan collection. The sculpture is really cool, Reagan ran against a peanut farmer if you can remember '80, and the other is an ABC Presskit, both from the Detroit 1980 GOP convention.

Hi Becky62,

Welcome to the coin talk board. I'm sure you will find this board more "coin" related that over on the C&PM board.

What does the 62 stand for LOL?

 

Snaz, if we ever have a cointalk gethering, PLEASE don't bring that part of your collection.

Also another thing I collect that I forgot to mention are the tickets to concerts that I go too (have one at the moment, but plan on adding more in the future )

Phoenix

 

lol, I was hoping to add some of your guys' lint to the collection!
... hmm a cointalk gathering..

 

Oh my gosh Snaz!
Never thought I would actually see such a collection.
Bet you could sell it on ebay for a hefty profit.
