Another one who collected baseball cards, though my collecting mainly consisted of the acquirement of unwanted hordes of 88-93 cards that belonged to people 5-10 years older than me, and buying mixed card/pack lots at the Kmart or elsewhere.
I do have some cards older than that, at least one for each year back through 1958!
I'm slowly paring them all down to the brands and years I like the looks of and my favorite players that date to that era, but that's a job that's going to take a while to get back to, not to mention finish.
Oldest US coin in my collection: 1851 Large Cent Oldest Foreign coin in my collection: 1945 Australian Sixpence

Quote: This is Tonto, my favorite snake I own. Is that his natural coloration, or part way through a molt?

Biggfredd, that is his natural color. He is a piebald, same recessive gene as a paint horse basically.

This is when he was a baby  And this is Crazy Eyes, my hypo het albino female Boa Constrictor when she was a baby.  Part of my snake room  The feeder freezer  My motley het albino boa constrictor as a youngster  My rodent execution chamber (the only humane society approved method) I call it *** Not acceptable *** ***I apologize if my play on words offended anyone. That was not my intentions at all but in retrospect it was not very mature of me.***

A "het", the word you just figured out, (heterozygous) means they carry but do not show the simple recessive gene. (not all color patterns are simple recessive, but albinism, and piebald is) Hets are substantially cheaper and you can throw one homozygous male to several different het females for a bigger profit margin with less paid out on the parents. I will let you do the Punnett Square to figure out the outcomes yourself.

@jeffrose: An earthquake would wipe out your cool collection. If that were mine I would tack them down with plasticine. :) This is just me but collecting liquor bottles and cans seems like a "teenage" thing to do, kind of like trophies of naughtiness. XD
Anyone else remember POGs? I gave away the bulk of mine but I saved the best and coolest looking ones. Same with Lego. I can't bring myself to throw away cool things. Like comic books. The difference with my comic book collection is that I don't care about condition - they only have to be readable copies because that is what they are meant for, which kind of invalidates my love for AU coins, but ah well.
