Do you collect beer cans? Whiskey Decanters? Cracker jack toys? Coca Cola memorabilia? Sportscards/autographs?

What do YOU collect?

**TinyEvel** · 05-30-2008, 12:30 PM

I have a pretty big collection of Evel Knievel stuff: Action figures and toys, jump posters and ticket stubs, I even have a Bally EK pinball machine. Unfortunately most of it is out in the garage in boxes. I have a display case in the living room that I rotate stuff in about every 6 months.

When I first discovered eBay about 12 years ago (yeah, it's been around that long!) I collected electronic handheld games (I had about 80) BURGIE! beer stuff, motion beer signs and old flashlights.

I sold off all the handhelds and the Burgie! stuff but still have the flashlights.

I like small batch bourbon, Knob Creek is another one,

Agree with everything except the rocks. Even though I'm a gin drinker.

I don't really collect anything, but I have an accumulation of antique marbles and stamps (they were my Grandpa's), and Hot Wheels (mine from when I was a kid and when I see a motorcycle or something semi-rare I buy it).

Actually, I collect Sho-Me coloring books. I mean text books. It's a collection inspired by CrazyCoffee's sig.

I used to collect camping, backpacking, and outdoor gear. Upon looking at my collection of Gore-Tex jackets and thinking of the dollars on display, I've reined myself in. Currently I have a pretty good collection of sippy cups.

I do collect books for my classroom library. I have close to 500 titles currently, and I should be up to around 2,500 by this time next year after I purchase a bunch more with grant money.

I got rid of my comic book collection at a garage sale a few years back because I hadn't kept them in good condition. One of my colleagues, who also uses classroom libraries though his kids are struggling, alliterate readers, recently had a bunch of comic books donated to him for his library. As I was going through the titles, I realized that it was my collection.

I must be boring, I don't collect a single thing.

**Dartgod** · 05-30-2008, 02:25 PM

I forgot. I've collected all of the Royals Hall of Fame bobbleheads from the last two years.

Cookie Rojas, Steve Busby, Dennis Leonard, Fred Patek, Dick Howser, Frank White, George Brett and Paul Splittorff.

I'm going out Saturday to get my John Mayberry and watch the Royals extend their losing streak to 13 games!

I think he's referring to having a baby and the fact that baby expenses tend to replace all of your hobbies and manly collectibles.
