    That is like the end of a long night of poker before it even starts

    Thoose cards are kinda tripy!

    When i was younger i collected guitars! still do but had to sell because financial reasons.
    But i made money on it, they are valued more now and when i bought them! so that's a fair deal!
    Also got a lot of world war 2 stuff from my grandpa but haven't had time to look things thru yet.

    If you don't mind me asking what is your best guitar. I play the bass. I have a 1970 guild, it's not a very valuable one but I always like the sound. My only issue is the action is just to high on it. It is tough on the fingers but if I play it for a while it makes my other basses feel like butter. I don't play as much as I once did but back in the day I got a lot of tail after doing some shows. I spent sometime in a Grateful Dead cover band, I got a lot of hippie chicks.

    That's nice! aah you got a few basses! sounds like a good time! love em hippie gurls,

    Well i got an old ibanez acoustic who i think it's pretty cool, found it floating in a river and i took it up and got my old man to fix it up for me. so that's my favorite because it's a story behind it.
    also got other guitars, example appaulose some low budget but sure sounds amazing.

    But the one who's probably most money in is the fender stratocaster American made, look the same as the one that jimmy had, bought it for 850 dollar second hand of a guy who collect guitar, never been played with and i got it with a case which is worth probably 120-150 dollars, bought it around 3 weeks ago, in the states, took it home to sweden, can easily get over 2 grand for it here and in 10-20 years probably more.



    Can't say i'm a good guitar player, mostly for fun and not in a band just play when i'm bored.

    I had a pretty epic stamp and hockey card collection when I was a kid, and still have a wack load of these old cigarette cards that used to come in packs way back which were all my grandfathers. They are worth a bit now but most of them aren't mint and I like looking at them now and then.

    I shared a house with a guy who collected guitars and couldn't play a lick, and he was an asshole. Seriously considered faking a B&E and taking a few with me when I moved out, if he wouldn't have known it was me I might have. He had a 1933 Gibson archtop all solid mahogany, a 50 something Martin 000 18 or 28, an original Gretsch country gentleman, a 12 string Rickenbacker of some sort, few reliced tele's and loads more and seriously didn't take them off the wall

    I own 7 guitars and would love to add to that but it's not in the budget any time soon.

    I got a ton of stamps that I bought from second hand stores when I was in high school. Many in books etc. Have not looked at them in years. A guy should. That 30 grand one that sold a while back was found that way. Tons of hockey cards and then about 20 years ago the floor collapsed. Everybody was getting in on the deal. Card shops on every corner. I got Gretzky's rookie card. I'll never sell it.

    I got the original 1970 ESSO Nhl stamp collection in the book at my office. I mean the one I got as a kid and collected myself from my parents fill ups.

    Last time I moved, I found a bunch of basketball cards and comic books I collected as a kid.. I forgot about them all those years but when I looked through the price list, I realized a lot of them turned out to be gems worth thousands of dollars... most of them in mint condition..

    As an adult, I collected naked pics and raunchy videos of my girlfriends but I stopped doing that.

    Today I collect guns, dupont lighters,Dvd movies, and james dean memorabilia..
