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.
