What do you collect?

[im2smrt4u]

Wow! I haven't been on AT for ages! I just checked back looking for threads on the Matrix Reloaded, and here I am!

Well, what do you collect? Post pictures if you've got them. I happen to collect, and now I'm starting to make, knives:

Knives #1 (folders)

Knives #2 (fixed blades)

My Criswell 28" Katana

And my latest purchase, a 20 inch long Ang Khola made in Nepal by Sher Bahadur Bishwakarma of Himalayan Imports.

Music -- I have well over 1,000 "real" (non-burned) music CDs.

I also now have a music server box with about 750 of them (so far) ripped to lossless FLAC format.

Next up is remote listening -- I'm thinking of getting a PocketPC with wifi, and already have parts for a home theater PC.

Do Enterprise and Smallville VCDs count?

That's bleeding into obsession. Way beyond collection.

you mean like 10,000 cards or $10,000 worth of cards? In either case it seems crazy...
I never understood people spending so much on baseball cards or any other type of cards.

I was a geeky nerd comic book collector when I was a kid. Had thousands of 'em...worth a good $10,000 at least. That was before I sold them for pennies on the dollar to pay for tuition. Some of the prices I remember...FF #1 for $50, Spidey #1 for $35, Avengers #1 for $15...

If I only held onto them...:frown:

 

[pyonir]

Zippo lighters.

 

[TallBill]

Bent spoons, empty altoid cans, and little rubber pool balls.

Indeed, it is a kickstarter.

That particular engine was on a Washing Machine.

Small engines such as the Briggs Model Y and Briggs model WM(WashingMachine) were widely used on washingmachines before electricity was widespread.

I used to collect business cards when I was a kid.
Don't ask, I don't know why either.
