I still collect old comics from bubble gum like Bazooka Joe (almost complete), Fleer Funnies, Dubble Bubble, Tommy Swell, Archie, etc. Before that I collected pin back buttons that came from gum machines (Famous Monsters, Beatles, Batman, Green Hornet, etc). Used to collect non-sports cards and still have a large collection of older baseball, football cards (yawn). 377289-bugaboo4.jpg

Any football cards in particular you're looking for? I have some from the late 70's-early 80's I'd like to unload. 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

 

Mostly Redskins are what I buy. I'll look at my list this weekend and let you know what, if anything, I need from those years. Thanks!

Thanks. Off the top of my head, I have Riggins and Theismann from '79, and probably not much else. I'm sure I have a few other no-names as well, if you need those.

 

I think I do need the Riggins (maybe Theismann to), but the no names are the ones that can be hard to find so I may need many of them. Anyway, I'll get you a list soon. I'm in a training this week at work so no free time until this weekend.

Being in Northern Virginia, Redskins cards are everywhere. Let me know what you need and I'll track them down for you.

What do I collect... geez... what don't I collect...

[*] Lighthouses (specifically the Spencer Collin ones, which are currently plummetting in value. I am picking up pieces for $15 that used to cost me $140 and I am not the least bit bothered by it. Have around 60 of them.)

[*] Pewter figurines of wizards (around 80 of them)

[*] Magic: The Gathering cards (I have sold off my collection several times, including the sale that funded my first store. I let four complete sets of Power 9 and over 800 Dual Lands go in that sale. But I still have several binders of stuff.)

[*] Sports Cards, mostly hockey (probably 125,000 cards total, plus a couple sealed wax cases and vending cases of OPC)

[*] Ramon Martinez baseball cards (for some unknown reason in college he became my 2nd favorite player behind Nolan Ryan, and I have pretty much every card he was ever on. Watched his brother Pedro pitch in the minors several times and frankly didn't think he was that good... 893frustrated.gif)

[*] First edition novels (mostly Asimov and Ian Fleming, but I would like to add more Hemingway and Heinlein to my collection)

[*] Piers Anthony (everything he has ever written, including his porn book. A lot of his fantasy is [!@#%^&^], but Bio Of A Space Tyrant changed my life)

[*] Porn (yeah, I think I might have mentioned this before)

[*] Misty Mundae DVDs (almost counts as porn but she's going more regular B-movie at this point)

[*] Wine (just donated a few cases to a charity auction, but still have too many bottles)

[*] Programs (but only if I attended the event. Still have five from the night of Andy Moog's 300th win)

[*] Every ticket stub from every concert I have attended

[*] I have around 800 CDs, but the only ones I would count as a collection are the Chris LeDoux, most of which are OOP

[*] Spouse Points (my most important collection of all. The number I have is always changing, but I always make sure I have at least some... I better...)

 

I'm sure there are more things I collect. But if I don't go sell some comics now I won't be able to collect anything... smile.gif

I collect racist Native American "Americana" items--comics, figuringes, postcards, souveniers. This is used for youth education in our tribal cultural center.

 

I also collect memorabilia related to the original gothic band, Bauhaus. A personal favorite.

Saw 'em a few times, a long time ago during the post-punk era. They were good. Do you like the Sisters Of Mercy? For a while a collected their stuff.

If we ever meet at a show, I will tell you a very long story concerning a guy I used to share a house with, a guitarist with the SOM who had a broken instrument and the world's first folk-metal band - Barbed Wire and the Metal Minstrels.

bauhaus is an all time favorite band, but i didn't get to see them until the reunion a couple years ago. I still have some tough vinyl of theirs like the dark entries 12" thumbsup2.gif

 

Really liked sisters of mercy a lot too, but prefer the earliest things up to maybe reptile house EP

I'd love to sell a few to fund the purchasing of my last 34 DC comics.

Anyone wanna buy a few ????

It might pay for my Detective 27.

Or the Double Action 2 that's curently driving me round in circles.
