Military Firearms when I have left over expendable income.
Which is to say VERY RARELY.

Old Weird Tales magazines -- I have just about all of the them from 1927 up; plus a handful 1924 - 1926. Also old science fiction pulps too, hundreds of them 1926 - 1954.

I collect:
Coins...Canadian, US, world
Stamps....all over the world
Baseball cards.....just Toronto Blue Jays...have over 8000
Old Bottle caps
Old Licence plates
Glass Telephone Insulators
Gemstones......mostly semiprecious, and polished rocks
Paper money...Canadian and world mint bundles
Bullion.....various designs of coin and bar and raw, I want to get as many elements as possible in solid state.
Seed samples......a small jar of as many different types of seeds as possible, I have about 90 now (Unusual but I work with seeds)
Golf Balls with special logo's or signatures.
Is it a hobby or a disease?

In addition to coins, I have:
A complete set of 1973 Topps baseball cards. I finished out this set from cards I still had in a box from when I was a kid. I also have a fair number of 1971, 1972 and 1974 Topps baseball and 1973 Topps Football and the assorted odd NBA and NHL cards from the same era as well.
My stamp collection from the 1970's
My bottlecap collection from the same time period
A mostly complete collection of Lionel Hallmark Train Ornaments. Originally supposed to be a series of 12, they just keep making more and more and I've become a bit weary of it all so I have slacked off a bit. I started collecting these because I have my Dad's old pre-war Lionel Train set - getting ready to put it up around the tree again this year.

I'm pretty certain collecting is a disease. Anyway, I collect, in addition to coins and medals, cheques, sport cards, autographs, postcards, match books... I think that's pretty much it. I've stopped accumulating everything but coins, medals and cheques though and am selling the rest.

Any kind of Scrimshaw, and while not really a collection I have a 1948 8N Ford tractor that I actually use all the time and keep maintained. I also have a start on a good collection of Mine Warfare materials that got started while I was in the Navy.

 Besides coins, I collect women. So far I've accumulated 3 blondes, 4 red heads and two brunettes. None of 'em slabbed of course, all RAW! (hope to Hell, my wife never finds out!) Glenn  |
