What Else Do You Collect?

[rmbittner]

Books, movies (laserdiscs, DVDs, and Blu-ray), and guitars (mostly electrics).
But none of these categories features any true "collectibles." They're just numerous in quantity. (Well, relatively speaking. It's a lot less expensive to buy a lot of movies than it is to buy a lot of guitars!)

I used to collect Star Wars stuff, had enough to fill over 20 large rubber made tubs, but sold most of it off to pay for school. I still have a few mementos and a few other classic toys from my childhood, but nowadays other than pipes there isn't much I have funds for.

Knives, other edged tools and weapons and I no longer buy but I have a good collection of musical instruments. The instruments are for my job so I could claim that they're less of a collection and more of a business expense.

I've been a musician for 49 years so I have a few guitars.

I collect old books as well, when I can come across them at an affordable price. With the advent of Kindle and Nook, first edition prices are going through the roof--so my other hobby is dying quickly.

Forgot books. I do collect them and have a few amazing ones like a first edition Mark Twain. They are getting more expensive and I've been lucky so far to find what I have.

Baseball cards as a kid. Took it back up 20+ years ago when it got hot. As a kid I collected coins and stamps a little. Now military rifles. 1898 Krag, 1904 Swede, Springfield, M1 etc. Sharps rifles, bolt action hunting rifles, 22lr rifles.

Custom knives. Fixed blades. No particular style, just ones that catch my eye. And guns. And dogs. Well, actually the dogs collect me.
