does anyone here ever set out to collect anything other than coins? i
know the answer is yes and maybe some of you can pitch in what other
areas you've dabbled in.

I have had several other hobbies at one time or another, but they all died
out and are in boxes long forgotten or sold off on eBay.


I have collected many things over the years but mostly useless knowledge.
If you can make money from knowledge that is prolly a fact I don't know, if
it is useless
and worthless, then there is a good chance I know something about it.

things I have collected in the past:
stamps and postcards
cameras
rocks and minerals
red books
paper match books, mint of course :-)
pens and pencils
guns
knives
Indian artifacts
fantasy figures in metal
a category I call odd stuff which is a catch all
tools
alley opp comic strips
comic books
I never collected baseball cards tho there are a few lying around here
somewhere
maps
cast toys, the old kind like cast iron
dubious memories :-)

I collect coins, have from the beginning and every few years I sell
everything and start
fresh in a new direction. I tend to lose money in coins but I have a good
time and never spend
a whole lot.

ya could sell my entire collection and maybe get one nice coin :-)
but what fun is that...
