I have lots of things people say I collect...CDs, tools, Jeeps (I do have a lot of Jeeps).

I'm sure people have record collections, concert posters, car collections, guitar collections, gun collections, live shows, toy tractors, real tractors....beanie babies 😉

Anything out of the normal?

When my Dad was a kid collecting stamps and certain coins was big. I have those but am not interested in that. My grandparents, aunt and Mom collected Hummels. Ain't worth anything now. If my grand parents knew how little interest and value there is in some of the things they cherished and thought were worth good money they'd flip out. A good friend of my collected Precious Moments. Man those things are ugly.

I have collected football cards since I was a young kid. I still do some of that. Mostly for fun. Some of that stuff is still worth good money and some of it isn't.

So, what do you collect?

I collect a lot of things. Old tv shows, radio programs, movies, book series, old computers (and keep them running).
I have everything done by Our Gang (Little Rascals) even the silent ones.
Every episode of have Gun Will Travel, Wild, Wild West, and working on Rawhide.
I have an extensive collection of books about the War of 1861-65, including all the Official Records from the Government Printing Office.
also, classic computer games to play on my old computers.
ABB shows, interviews, and some non-commercial recordings.

What did your laptop do when it stopped working? Before you try anything, plug it in and see if it will take a charge.
I might be able to help you through chat and PM.

Did you know a fair number of the shows were written by Gene Roddenberry. Some were directed by Ida Lupino.
The guy who played Festus on Gunsmoke was on there three times.

Baseball and football cards when I was much younger.

Concert posters through the years.

Tried to collect snow from different places in the higher elevations, but it seemed to all be magic snow or something? It always disappeared.

Used to collect roaches too, they always disappeared as well. Especially when Tommy or Mr. Marin would visit.

Kisses from my girlfriend.

Our first date, five years ago, I told her I was going to start a collection of hers.

She hasn't forgotten and always obliges.

Hugs, kisses, romance and love.

It's a beautiful thing.

Cds, vinyl, concert posters and t-shirts, rocks, fossils, and Boy Scout patches. I used to collect bootleg concert recordings, but it became too much so I stopped a decade ago. I also have a few swords and a suit or armor. I also try to have one knick knack type thing from every country I've visited. I also have a few Coke and Pepsi bottles from my travels in foreign languages. Oh, and Hard Rock Cafe pins, but only from those I've been to.
