I have some pretty cool stuff. Some items from both the American Revolution and the Civil war. Fossils I smuggled out of China and some other artifacts but my main interest in collecting is playing cards. I have very rare and expensive decks. I searched for two years to obtain my most treasured deck. I do magic, that's what got me into my cards but I am starting to wonder about my card collection. I hunt down and get a deck, I'm happy to get it and I put it in a box along with the rest of my valuable cards and put it back under my bed. If I open any of these decks the lose value. I can't have people over and show them my card collection, I've done that and I can tell they are bored after seeing the first deck. Does anybody else collect things and wonder why they are doing it.
