What do you collect?

Currency, Knives, Firearms, Guitars (picks and plectrums too), Tools (har har), Hockey Pucks, and Motorcycles!

 

Milsurp weapons and Hot Wheels/Matchbox die cast

 

We collect shot glasses mostly when on vacation. But occasionally a friend will grab one for us

Your post reminded me. I guess I collect tools as well

 

Where you from? I have a question about an older sewing machine that was left in an estate that i purchasd.

 

State magnets, and recently patches.

All the states we have been in, we buy one of their magnets, have about half the country right now, going to start doing patches in them before to long.

 

I collect knives. I would collect guns but I'm too broke from buying truck parts and accessories. I guess I also collect truck parts and accessories.

 

I collect old school boomboxes and ghettoblasters, but I don't know where to put them anymore, as it takes quite a bit of space

So I stopped for the moment, untill I find more space, ahahaha

 

Guns, cartridges, antique hand tools, treadle tools and old radio receivers (mostly shortwave).

 

Knives, skateboard decks, patches, Rogue Ales 22oz beer bottles and former G.I. Joe action figure addict.

I stopped collecting knives because I have one for every occasion and don't feel the need to go fancier than Becker Knife and Tool for camping/bushcraft and Benchmade for EDC.

In the process of getting a couple "grail" skateboard decks that Santa Cruz is re-issuing that came out in the late 80's. I have at least a $1k worth of wood hanging between my house and office but that's piddly shit compared to some people that have that much invested in single boards (original Tony Hawk deck that was mint went for $12k... yeah, fuck that!).

Patches... 'nuff said. I blame the other assholes that are on here who opened up pandora's box on that one for me after I found out about how many cool ones there are out there!

Rogue Ales bottles are because I grew up in Newport, Oregon where all Rogue comes from. I have about 50 bottles, some super rare and other glasswear from them. I like good beer.

G.I. Joes was a nostalgia thing. I grew up a kid of the 80's so when Hasbro did a 25th anniversary line, I got caught up in it and for a few years was hunting through the toy aisle like a creeper looking for the "hard-to-get" Joes and Cobras. It was fun and I even got into customizing my own figures and vehicles, but eventually the joy kind of died because Hasbro wants to make money off kids, not man-children so they stopped making the 1/18th scale figures en masse. I still have about 100 figures mostly stashed at work that I should probably sell. Might be able to get a new head unit for the worth of the entirety of my meager collection, LOL!

 

I'm glad I went back and checked before I posted that, as it was my immediate gut reaction to this thread...

 

Friend got me into the hot wheels for awhile but I only collected the Porsche cars, still have some really old ones that I need to sell.

Still have an original mint PP Caballero and a JFA that I bought when I was a kid here. Found a box when cleaning out my dads house of Dogtown Stonefish decks that they had sent me when they reached out to sponser a few of us in Texas. Got a LM stick with his art from some collectors edition he did a few years back, have no idea why it was sent to me but my son thinks it's wicked so I'll save that one. Picked up a couple Old Man Army decks for geezer reasons but really dig their shapes so I always keep at least one built. Saving all of them for when I go to put him into trade school in between his junior and senior high school years and then for university.

Have heaps of Porsche memorabilia from my PCNA days that needs to go as my wife claims it's all a "fire hazard." She's right, as I'm done with going fast anyway.

Now I pretty muck just collect hand tools and Toyota 4wd's.

 

I collect travers race classes from saratoga race track/ Every year they produce a glass and I have the past 40 of them

 

I've got a ton of 80's toys that are available at the right price. Some "valuable" GI Joes in the packages.
Comic books from the 80s
Stamps...handed down and collected by my mother. Who buys stamp collections? I'd love to have them sold too.
The Legos I'll keep for a while.
