Curiosity to OdShowtime collection of Vinyl, sparked if other posters collect anything.

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?

I have (still) my 1973 and 1974 Topps baseball cards. All in a shoe box unfortunately, but I still look at them occasionally.
(***Looking at you Ron Swoboda, even though I hated the New York Yankees of the early 1970s. Looking. Right. At. You.****)

I collect Harley Davidson t-shirts from around the world. The rule is, if I don't buy it, someone has to go to the store and buy it. I need a photo documenting their location at time of purchase before I reimburse them. I have H-D t-shirts from US, Bahamas, Canada, England, India, Australia and my personal fave- Romania. (It has a picture of Dracula's castle).

I kid you not, we are moving today across DFW to live closer to 4 grandkids. Came across my shoebox of 1972-76 baseball cards about an hour ago. I refuse to let them go so they're making the trip.

Hey Otter, can you try DMing me? I tried to DM you, no success. It’s related kinda sorta to your baseball cards. Not the best timing what with your move but whatever.

I'm up to about 20 or so. A few Supertramp albums, some Yes, Skynyrd, Stones, etc.

First one in my new collection (and I highly recommend it of course):

To be honest I have no ideas how to DM anyone. Do you need the On3 app? If you walk me through it I'll connect tomorrow. 12 hours to pack move and unload all while trying to watch that maddening game. I'm collapsing for the evening.

I’ll probably end up asking Tom to connect us. No worries.

Costco (?) has a baseball signed by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig if you're interested

Yeah with the grade and how clean that ball is with its stamping and the clarity of the signatures that’s about the right price

I still have my Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Dinky Toys spanning the early 60’s to about 1972. Also, models I built that are mostly military (WWII tanks primarily).

Then I started collecting beer cans in college and still have those, and plan on displaying them again soon.

Finally in the last 25 years or so I started collecting guitars. Have between 30 and 40, as well as effects pedals of around 70-80, over 50 I built myself.
