    Monies owed under unpaid California court judgments owned by clients of mine that are secured by judgment liens in real property.

    Every few months I like to get my hands dirty at a pawn shop going through the tools. For less than a Hamilton I pick up made in US wrenches, screwdrivers...😬

    I don’t really collect anything else. I’m into astronomy when I have a good opportunity and photography. Other than coins, I’ve not really been much of an accumulator.

    I do have a few things from my hometown with some bits and baubles from my travels but there’s not much else.

    Guitars. Started off wanting to get one nice example of all the classic (LP, SG, ES335, Strat, Tele...) and has really snowballed over the years. I was in the 30's last time I counted. I don't count anymore.

    I have collected a variety of stuff over the years. The only ones I have left are a small tin oil can collection and heavy "milk glass" range top shakers mainly made by McKee.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Wine for me. It has a habit of disappearing, however.

    I love them Barber Halves.....

    Thta's cool! I have a Celestron CPC 800 that's packed away right now. Lately just bought a little Celestron C90 Mak and a skywatcher az-gte mount for it. Been trying to get some decent pics with it lately.

    Cool! I’ve got a StellarVue 90mm raptor. It’s currently sitting on a bookshelf in the garage. I haven’t had much luck staying up at night lately, lol. Hope you enjoy it! And check out Cloudy Nights forum. Tons of people there discussing everything astronomy.

    I used to collect Nazi pistols, but I sold them all to buy more coins. Big mistake. The guns have shot up in value since I sold them.

    I have about 15 pieces of Edgefield pottery, but more an accumulation than a collection. They are large, fragile and bulky. That’s why I quit fooling with them. Coins are much easier to store and transport and just as historic.

    Pulp science fiction magazines and scarcer sf paperbacks, political buttons, vinyl records, some stamps, horse racing memorabilia and ephemera, older original wire photos involving horses or some of my favorite baseball players, a few baseball cards.
    ....well you asked....

    I have a small box full of sf paperbacks from the mid fifties to mid sixties that I want to move. I need to make a list.
    I bought these when I was into sf at that time. They are not pristine but still should be good, just need to check the condition.

    That's okay, it takes more than a couple collectors all doing somewhat similar collections to make things interesting! :D

    The question really is, after all this time, how much dust have you guys collected?? :D:p

    Art glass, something my wife and I collect together. I'm also probably the only male under 80 who collects antique post cards, Abe Lincoln circa 1909 cards.

    Hey, postcards are cool.
    I have a small collection. B)

  • Peace_dollar88Peace_dollar88 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Pokemon cards, guns, and police patches. Especially Police patches related to the federal reserve

    Anything related to the Monticello Drug Company out of Jacksonville, FL. Especially drug products, advertising, and literature for the "three sixes" line of products.

    All these are totally interesting. Collecting anything is so magical for the feeling generated by a new find. Non collectors will never understand......untill they catch the bug. What ever you collect, I applaud you.
