PhilFree Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was wondering if the fine folks here collect items besides watches. I collect quite a bit of items from old baseball cards, stamps, currency, rare & signed books, fragrances, pens, and designer clothing and bags. I've been collecting books and cards from my early teens. My father when he passed away left me his collection of baseballs cards and currency that were passed down from his father. From there my collection snowballed into other categories. Next to my watches I prefer my collection of books. I am not a fan of e-readers, I prefer to hold a book in my hands when reading. I don't get the same feeling when I am reading off of a screen. I hope one day to have children to pass down my collections, I hope they will appreciate it as much as I do. So how about you, what do you collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have collection of about 50 of the Franklin Mint classic automobile plates (fine porcelain) They are limited editions that are numberd and authorized by the Chevrolet Motor Division. I guess the're around tweenty years old. Probably not worth that much but i sure do enjoy them.. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seriph Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Old thread I know but I thought I'd add my .02c I collect Watches that are a bit odd, like me MB pens - Limited Editions, have around 40 Silk Ties - have around 100 Model Railway items from the UK - Hornby, Triang, Dublo etc. Architectural antiques - interior and exterior elements Books and periodicals on architecture - mainly European and US books to do with the period 1730 - 1930 The one thing you may realise I don't collect after seeing all of the above .... is a large bank account.
