I Still have a grandmother who is 99 and was an antiques dealer with an expertise in porcelain. Her dear friends, Estelle and Phil Gay's, son produced and brought Antiques Roadshow from England to American TV's. She loved antiques and connected her to the world. She always encouraged making a collection, not necessarily for the investment but for the education, in anything that grasped and held your attention.
I still have some baseball cards and other sports memorabilia from my youth. Sold most of that collection. However, I still have all of my hot wheels and matchbox cars from my childhood. The blessing of growing up with 3 sisters is that when they eventually chose to play cars with me it never involved being outside or anywhere near dirt. More of displaying the cars as if it was a car dealership lot. (Potter's older sister always dictated the rules) Heck, at least they played.
I've continued to add to that collection from the earliest Lesney, Matchbox, and Hot Wheels models to current ones that catch my eye in the aisles. I also have begun assembling a model railroad room in my home.
You folks have any interesting collections or a cool artifact, relic or item?
