Mike Schmidt baseball cards. I love rookies from the early 80s like mattingly strawberry etc. I couldn't afford them when I was a kid and love to get them now.

I love collecting Catfish Hunter cause he was a Yank and also a NC boy as well as Thurman Munson.

Yanks sux tho. :grin:

 

This is true, but Thurman Munson rocked!

 

Can't disagree. Even bought my Red Sox fan 9 yr-old a Munson statue. He was a true Yankee.

I just blew out a bunch of books (Goodbye, my run of WWBN :( ) to buy a new set of 17" tires and rims for my summer hobby:

Vintage cars and comic books. I can't afford both, so I usually have to sell something from one to pay for the other... :pullhair:

 

 

Sweet Rims!

 

You didn't trade a TOS 39 for them did you? :wishluck:

That car is absolutely da bomb.

My favorite pair is my OG deadstock 'sheeds. My favorite to rock are my SB truereds.

 

Im also a big jordan head too with 11s (cool grey) and 13s (altitudes or flints) being my faves.

Sports cards. Mostly hockey. Screen name is a dead give away for two favorites (thumbs u

Die cast cars, Formula One mainly. And though I don't consider them a collectable, hats from the 80's/early 90's. Old Sports Specialties, Logo Athletics, Starter. Had a friend who worked at a sports store in the mall back in the day and used to get me good deals on hats. I still wear them, so it's a usable collection I guess :banana:

In addition to comics, I am something of a DVD/Blu-ray nut. I realize this is probably a fool's game, given our ever-increasing evolution towards streaming all things at all times.

Consequently, I've limited myself to collecting the following:

 

1) DVDs by "boutique" labels. Basically, these are small distributors that release DVDs and Blu-rays of esoteric genre pictures. My favorite of these is a company called Mondo Macabro, but there are others worth collecting.

 

2) Doctor Who DVDs--I've got everything that's been released in region 1. :insane:

 

3) Criterion Collection--My favorite of the bunch. I've got several hundred of these at this point...about half of the total collection. I never get tired of checking out Criterion's "coming soon" page. :)

 

SH - Yeah, me too. I just forgot to include them in my thread starter.

I do, indeed, love me some DVDs. Well, actually, Blu-Rays now, as I've become a TOTAL snob that way for the past two years. lol.

Unfortunately, with so much of my cash being tied up in my other collections ( mostly on comics ), I'm rather frugal about what I choose to buy, so my collection isn't nearly as large as your's is. But, I love it nevertheless.

And yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from regarding the streaming thing.

With so much content available that way now & so many people making a permanent switch to no longer purchasing physical media & just getting by with subscriptions to services etc., it does seem to be almost "retro" to continue buying discs, but I can't help myself.

While I've made that switch with my music, my collector's mentality simply won't allow me to do so with my movies & fav shows. I just have to HAVE a piece of solid material placed upon a shelf that I can see & physically pick up & hold in my hand for me to be comfortable in owning the film. To me, there's no way that having a wee bitty icom in my laptop's storage just doesn't at all cut it. Nor does storage in some "cloud"...

 

Peace,

Jim
