What else do you collect?

[loldudex2]

Nice! I bought it for 100 bucks that year, it has nomar on it. Probably like one of 20 in the world from that year with his signature. Good investment 


I also have ted williams, albert pujols and a couple others.

Amazing investment! keep me updated as your collection grows.

Expensive liquor - best I had was either Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac or Chivas Royal Salute 21-year-old scotch, though Bushmills Malt Three-Wood 15-year-old Irish whiskey is pretty damn good.

I absolutely love Remy Martin.  My dad bought me a bottle of Remy Martin Extra for Christmas this year, I've yet to open it.  I do have a little bit left of a bottle of Remy Martin X.O. though.  I kind of have a soft spot for expensive liquors.  My true love is quality vodka though.  I buy a bottle when I see one I really want, but I wish I could afford to 'collect' them.

I used to collect pokemon cards, like most people my age did when they were kids.

I currently collect playing cards and colognes.

The Louis XIII is insanely expensive - average is about $2,000 to $2,500 for a 750ml bottle.  Try one before you die!


For a more affordable and outstanding cognac, try Delamain.  I've had XO and Vespers, and they also make Grande Champagne and Vintage versions.  Not cheap, but easier to buy than the Louis XIII.


How do you collect colognes?  Don't the fragrances change after a year or two in the bottle?

[AceGambit]

How do you collect colognes?  Don't the fragrances change after a year or two in the bottle?

Yes.  I generally go through the bottles.  I actually USE the colognes I collect,  I have about 9 bottles I rotate through, when one goes empty, I buy a different one.  I try to buy the smaller bottles
A.) because it's more affordable. 
B.) they don't last as long.

I'm working on two collections at the same time. Playing Cards and Zippo Lighters. Being a flourish artist, fell in love with Zippo Lighter tricks instantly. I figured they're the reason I'm pretty much broke all the time. 


Started the Zippo collection just a little bit earlier than my Playing Cards Collection and I was absolutely blown away when they came out with a Zippo Bicycle deck and Lighter set. Nailed both of my collections just right!

That was the main reason I bought the Star Wars Lenticular 3D plastic card deck.  The quality is laughably bad, but it's a cool-looking deck - and it's both cards and Star Wars.  I used to collect the Star Wars bubblegum cards when I was a kid - now, there's no more bubble gum....    I know there are many, many other decks I could have purchased, but CartaMundi currently holds the license, and I've not had good luck with them in general in terms of quality paper decks.

I have a lot of autographed baseballs, but my best ones are Yogi Berra, Roy Halliday, Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hammels (I guess you can tell my favorite team at this point)

Phillies
 
(I just wanted to play the THIS or THAT game and would like to ask "baseball or basketball", so I searched these keywords first to avoid posting the same question there)

[phantom1412]

I collect everything related to the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Detective Conan, and One piece.
The last two are Japanese manga.

Hey guys,

I love the Marvel/DC universe.  I have some comics, but not many.

I have started collecting the Eaglemoss lead figurines.  These things are AWESOME!
They are HEAVY for their size. 

They have over 100 DC characters, and over 200 Marvel characters already released.

Here's the DC figurines

and the list of already releasedDC figurines

Here's the Marvel figurines
http://marvel-figurines.co.uk/figurines.html

and the list of already released Marvel figurines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Classic_Marvel_Figurine_Collection


Every figurine comes with a magazine sized history of the character






I have about 8-9 figurines so far.  Some of them are much larger special edition ones.. like the Sentinel in my pics.

Here are pics of some of mine

You know I want 1 or 2 bricks of Club Angels, and now I strongly feel you need this pen. (only available in Taiwan convenience stores with its points card last year)

Those are pretty cool.  I was surprised when I saw them - lead figures have been banned in the US for a number of years now because of risk of lead poisoning from handling.  It probably has less to do with figures like yours and more to do with little wargame figures that get moved around on maps, like Warhammer, D&D, etc.  There are now mass-produced, hand-painted plastic models and unpainted metal ones for the artists out there.  The metal is still cheap and soft, but has no lead in it.


Yes, I used to play D&D, as recently as last year.

There's no shame in that! Ok, maybe a little, but I'm willing to openly admit that I still regularly (on a weekly basis) spend a night playing White Wolf's Exalted game.  RPGs can be an excellent source of entertainment with the right group of people.

Come on Don... there's nothing I like better than sitting around and licking my lead figurines!

It says on the boxes .. recommended for ages 14+.  I say let the little kids suck on a lead batman 

LOL

[DeckReview]

I started collecting chop cups because they're neat, I like the effects, and they look cool in my drawer. I have 4 cups so far.
I am also starting to collect tarot cards, I don't have a collection worthy of anything yet.

I had 5 invicta russian divers but ended up selling 3 to help fund my next car

Strangely enough, that wasn't the reason.  The government was concerned about absorption in the skin from frequent handling and transfer from fingers to mouth when eating while playing, a frequent occurrence.  There's probably some science to back it up somewhere, though since the government's been known to jigger the figures to satisfy policy makers, anything's possible.

My other collection is trivial facts and near-useless knowledge.  I will cream you at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit - but then again, half the answers are "Luke Skywalker"...

I know useless knowledge too! Mostly music and baseball trivia. But I, (and my brother more) know TONS of useless facts that will most likely never come in handy.

[hazofhorsham]

I collect the Panini Sticker albums (world cups) and I have a complete Wrestling album, and I complete wrestling trading card collection.

[kc62002]

so far I only collect cards. If I somehow came into a lot of money, i'd probably start collecting watches and liquor bottles. I don't drink but the bottles they come in are really nice sometimes.

[AlessandroPangia]

Other than playing cards, my main interest has been collecting cheating devices. Anything that goes from cards to dice and various furniture, if you know what I mean. If someone wants to sell something, please contact me.

Heck, you could probably get empty bottles for free if you establish connections to the bartenders at your local drinking establishments.  They only toss them out or recycle them anyway, depending on local laws.

You should hit the Vintage Collection topic and post photos - or create a new topic.  It would be very cool to see some vintage and modern cheating devices.  I've been itching to get a gambler's holdout myself, large and strong enough to handle an entire deck, but I just haven't come by one yet that didn't cost a fortune.

I never thought of that. Thanks! I guess i'd just have to fill them with water to get the awesome light effect. Then again there is something about having them new and sealed in a collection. haha..two options based on budget.  The first seems like the way to go though.

I will post photos of decks, no cheating devices, I cannot expose them, since here it's a public forum. I will expose however the gaffs in the cards, so it's still a good deal. You mean a cooler holdout, they are called "pots" or "frying pans", they are pretty common, but used only by few people, since deck switching is very difficult. They cannot be classified as normal holdouts though. Oh, expect spending a lot of money, people who sell them on ebay like any other crooked gambling device want a lot of money, since for a cheat 500 dollars or more are "few" dollars, since he wins more than that in a game.

You could actually fill the bottles with a clear glue that you can color before pouring into the bottle.  They'd look forever like the real deal, and no spillage!  Drying time would be hellish, I imagine, and if the surface didn't dry correctly it would look like crap.  Perhaps a colored lacquer would do the trick?

Well, I currently have a simple Deck Dropper.  I haven't been able to gauge the usefulness because the instructions are on a 3" mini-DVD and I only have slot-loading players, none of which accept the format.  I also have the Black Widow device, but I'm planning to sell it soon.  It's not good for an entire deck, but you can use it for simple one- or two-card swaps.

Being a girl, I collect Accessories. I love accessories!!! I also collect shoes, but of course every woman love shoe collecting and I dream of having the most insane collection display of shoes. I need to surpass Kim Kardashian's shoe collection someday BWAHAHAH!!!!
