Collecting

[IamInuit]

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..
