    I collect Hard Rock Cafe/Hotel/Casino pins.

    I try to visit the location before I buy, but since there are so many now I have had people get them as they travel.

    In addition to coins I collect political buttons and I tinker with HO trains.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    A few stamps... Mostly African as well....

    Edited to add:
    Have a bunch of old marbles that had been my grandfathers...
    I'll have to look them up as I had assumed the market for these was gone given that most of the folks who ever played marbles are long gone...

    I like that bike. When I was in Afghanistan I spent many hours looking at the harley website at that bike. But alas my time in the trauma bay, and my wife have squashed that bug… but I still love those things.

    my dad has few of them and on one (cherry burst?), you can view the last 5 nickels dropped and the jackpot coins are visible.

    he also collects marbles since he goes to so many yard/garage sales.
    he has a vintage gumball machine 3/4 filled with them. says they're worth about $2000.


    i also collect skateboards, hot wheels and maybe a Datsun or three too.

    I also collect old book and magazines. My favorite is a booklet on "Land Mammals of New England" written in 1889 with an autographed personal note (1947) to me by the author, my Aunt Alice. The state of Maine reprinted her Master's thesis.
    Can anybody top that?

    After looking at your site, I wish I had some of the marbles that I had when I was a kid and we used to draw a circle in the dirt and "play for keeps." image

    I did find my collecting utopia and so glad it doesn't cost much. I've been a Porsche and coin nut forever and have a full set of the Porsche factory coins that have been released annual with their calendar since 1962. I have a few other medals and badges that I think look cool too
