I collect Autographed photos, cards, signed balls, old auction catalogs, bobble heads, game used bats.  And my prized posessions a game used BJ Surhoff glove and a Milwaukee County Stadium wooden seat.

 

I also collect old gas station signs and oil cans.  And as a music lover I grab all the Rockabilly I can on vinyl.  Love the look my 5 year old nephew gives me when he asks to go downstairs and play records.  He fascinated by it.

We must be brothers from another mother. I also dabble in "petroliana" I sold off most of my collection when I moved but still buy and sell it when I can find it at flea markets and estate sales. I like all kinds of old advertising items as well.

I also play guitar in a blues/rock-a-billy band. Lots of rock-a-billy action out here in SO CA. Always fun to walk around in the parking lot and see all the '50's hot rods when we do a gig.

Always had a passion for cars. Here are a few of them I currently own. Next to last car picture is a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado that I’m  almost done restoring. The last car picture is a 1954 Buick Skylark my oldest 2 sons are helping me restore. But my biggest passions are my 3 sons and beautiful wife.

Same with rap music. West Coast has ALWAYS been party music - that Dr. Dre g-funk era is unstoppable. Down south is party music. Atlanta is party music with trap lyrics.

NY got that gritty. These streets is grimy.

Great taste in cars minisink.

Since people went to the topic of music, here are 4 songs that I wrote. Have fun. They may not be for all, but I enjoyed writing them. These were produced between 1999 and 2001.

Nice camera.  I still have my Pentax ME Super, which I bought back in 1982.

Aside from comics, I collect unopened hockey wax boxes from the 1980's, 70's and earlier. Both O-Pee-Chee and Topps.  So far, for the earlier ones in my collection (before 1978/79, and at the time of this writing) they are all empty boxes.  Even the early empty boxes are pretty darned tough to find, 1960's especially.

For me, it's a ton of fun.  I'm also trying to get a pack of cards from each year and series, too. 

 

As a big hockey fan, I love these! Wonderful collection. 

I also collect Star Wars and original artwork. My favorites are the one of a kind and oddball stuff that has a great story behind it.

As a kid I would always have a few collections going. Bottle caps, stickers, sea glass, even once had a wire collection I gathered from houses being built in my neighborhood.

I'm a big Magic: The Gathering player and collector. Much bigger than comics, actually. Lately, I've been selling off my comics to buy more of the original Magic cards from the first few sets. Speaking of which, if anybody has old (1993-1994 era) Magic cards that they'd like to trade for comics or even cash, hit me up   Here are a few pick-ups from earlier this year:

I used to play and collect Magic the Gathering, but sold my collection a few years back. I did keep a few cards for posterity. This is one of the earliest ones I kept. I think this is a "Revised Edition" Underground Sea from 1994.

Oh to get back my Magic cards...and sell them now instead of in 2002.  And undo a number of stupid trades prior to that.  If I could only smack 10+ year old Matt in the head...

Building up sets in the SGC registry. I love the holders and the grading scale.

Well, that was a good one to keep! Around $300 now give or take.
