I'd collect cans of Spam, but it's not kosher.

ArizonaJack · August 14, 2014 3:24PM

I use marbles as sling-shot ammo........

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.

Comic Books, Action Figures, fossils, and rare occasion, stamps.

bigjpst · August 15, 2014 12:04AM

Lately I've been collecting artifacts I find in the rough on golf courses. Much more interesting than you folks that keep the ball on the fairway.

bronco2078 · August 15, 2014 12:27AM

I never realized old marbles were worth anything

I just checked ebay and they have a marbles category and some of the sold prices on completed listings are insane

I'm going to start saving marbles i find in old houses I work on

Interesting! My uncle was a marble champion back around 1935. He has over 1,700 agate marbles.
Thanks for the link!

Space related items. Here is yours truly with Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the Moon, with assorted flown checklists...

MsMorrisine · August 15, 2014 2:01AM

Bad jokes?

Odds and ends. I'll still pick up even new stamps if I really like them. (Really, really, really like them)

Got a painting of Alan Greenspan & autographed by him too.

Mowgli · August 15, 2014 2:56AM

Coins and LGB trains

nwcoast · August 15, 2014 3:02AM

Currency (mostly old African), books, some natural history goodies...
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...

bronco2078 · August 15, 2014 3:03AM

<< Coins and LGB trains >>

I never realized trains came in different sexes or had preferences . How do you tell them apart?

MrHalfDime · August 15, 2014 3:07AM

For me it's mostly coins, and a few postcards. I lost my marbles a long time ago.

lkrarecoins · August 15, 2014 3:13AM

Coins and some postcards/memorabilia of a little Pocono Mountain town where I spent my summer's growing up. I also collect credit card bills, my wife got me involved in that hobby

SeattleSlammer · August 15, 2014 3:38AM

Lately I've been getting into baseball cards.

TwoSides2aCoin · August 15, 2014 5:11AM

Picked up a nickel slot machine recently , it's from the late forties. One armed bandit works like a charm. I keep losing dateless buffalo nickels in it.

johnny9434 · August 15, 2014 5:14AM

i used to save match book covers. many of them still have the matches still in them.

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.

JJM · August 15, 2014 6:15AM

I also collect paper weights, books, and pocket knives. I have recently acquired a hand made hunting knife and it is the beginning of a future collection.

ProofArtworkonCircs · August 15, 2014 1:34PM

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?

Shamika · August 15, 2014 1:38PM

Vintage coinboards.

DMWJR · August 15, 2014 1:41PM

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."

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

Old stuff from the Burger Chef restaraunt chain. Trying to do a Burger Chef themed basement. So if anyone has Burger Chef stuff let me know.

Coulport · August 15, 2014 11:07PM

Small lead crystal pieces especially salt cellars.
I do have a ships decanter for display though. The various single malts are in original containers and not decanted.

WoodenJefferson · August 16, 2014 1:20AM

My wife, on numerous occasions has informed me that I have lost all my marbles...so I guess it's just coins now.

Lucanus · August 16, 2014 3:54AM
