what else do you collect?
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. today i'm letting go of one collection which at its height i had just about as much passion for then as i do now with coins. it was a collection, oh boy this is going to sound geeky, of... chemical elements. you know, the stuff that makes up everything in the universe. and any of you who know me privately know i'm hopelessly afflicted with a get-one-of-each mentality (see my roman coin collection at http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid28.php ) it's a bitter sweet moment to put the elements up for sale. you know, something you put that much work into, even if you let go of actively pursuing, has become a part of you at some level. but collections are alive - or should be - so that unless you're a pack rat once your interests change over time it's best to recycle them and let someone else experience that rush you once felt. i know this guy bill who's nuts about old coke bottles. others are into fossils, minerals and so on. so what non-coin stuff have you gone ga-ga for? ras |
