POLL: Are you a paper collector?

[october]

I forgot. I also have two Grateful Dead concert posters from the 60s. I would love to find more.

[Not*Sure*]

I seem to think somewhere in my hoard of stuff there is a few collector type rolling paper packs. I forget if they are done by a certain artist or some rock memorabilia but I do think they had comic book type art on the packs. *sighs* I do miss my liquid sky papers though..they made the uhm...tobacco.. taste all cherry flavored..sweet!

I collect tons of paper. It's more hoarding issues for me. I love old pictures. I have a new hobby which involves going to estate auctions and buying heaps of black and white photos. Then I track down the people in the pictures via the internet. Sometimes just for the heck of it. Sometimes I find there are people trying to find these old pictures and I send them to them.

My best one to date was a find at a local garage sale. The seller had several boxes of old photographs and tin type photos. They wanted $1-5 each. I chatted with her awhile (a neighbor) she said that since she was about to pack up and no one had shown interest all day, I could have them all for $8. I told her I loved old photos and paper items. She said I should go through her trash bag and get the papers that where in with the cache of photos. She had purchased the photos in bulk at an auction. She figured the papers, which were newspaper clipping about the family members in the photos, marriage, birth, death certificates,baptismal records and even adoption papers were mostly junk and no one would buy them. I dug them all out of the trash. Within days I found 2 people on opposite ends of the country (one in FL. one in CA) who wanted any information about their family. The family had been one of the founding settlers of Kansas but had been scattered across the country. Everyone lost touch and never had info and here I was sitting on all the info they could ask for. I even had the original wedding photos, birth certificates and marriage certificate for the settlers. It was just great to talk to the family and find out why these old memories ended up as discards. I packed them all up and shipped them out to the eldest person who responded (figuring she would've been the one most eligible to get them). So for a whopping $8 I got a great deal of fun.

Yep. Comics books collect to read, rolling papers I collect to smoke. I currently have an enormous collection of rolling papers, but I keep moving them and then replacing the same issues

It's that short term memory loss gets me everytime. I forget I have them or can't find them so have to go buy more comics..I can't remember why I have short term memory loss but I think..wait..what was I talking about again?
