Thats sounds pretty cool! How do you store them/display them? Do you have any friends or family that collect them too?Clinton McClure said:Spores, molds and fungus.
That is quite a collection! Its amazing that you amassed such a sizable collection. A cousin of mine collects LPs as well and I though he had a lot when I saw that he had 500 of them.Ockeghem said:I have about 3,000 books and 2,500 LPs. One of my passions is collecting Beatles recordings (all formats). I've been collecting them since 1969 and have about 275 LPs (some unopened) as well as hundreds of CDs and SCs of their music.
That is a ton of records! Thats gotta take a lot of room up. reel-to-reel tapes sounds like an interesting thing to collect. How does one store a large collection of those?gene c said:A friend of mine in grade school (1967-1968) also collected LP's. Estemate was 3000. Couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw them. He also collected reel-to-reel tapes and empty Fresca cans. Both were all over the house.
Those are some pretty cool glasses and you have quite the card collection going there. I always found the older cards to be so much better. I collected cards in the 90s, but I'm not too in to them anymore. I collected them mainly because my friends and family were so in to them.gene c said:I don't really collect anything but I do have some of the old Pepsi comic glasses they gave away at hamburger joints in the 60's and 70's (6 hamburgers for a $1!) when you bought a Milk Shake or Root Beer Float.. Have about 35 of them.
I used to collect "League Leader" baseball cards. They were dirt cheap compared to the regular player cards and you always had some great names. Roberto Clemente, Billy Williams and Pete Rose on the same card for $1.50. I still have about 3000 regular cards from the late 60's/early 70's. I kept one of each and sold the duplicates.
Now it looks like I collect speakers, dvd/BluRay players and receivers!
Originally I had a similar experience with my wife in dealing with coin collecting. She thought I was retarded for paying 20 bucks for a penny (or anything over face value for that matter). Thats completely changed no-a-days though because she has become a coin collector herself lolScott Burke said:I like to collect action figures, but getting married slowed that waaaaaaaaay down. My local comic book store has a 25 cent/1.00 bin, and i pick up a comic or two when I visit.
Ditto for me, but also must add in the factor of "unopened" DVDs, still in their shrink-wrap, many of them ten or more years old, but I had to have them. I'm probably up into the 600-700 range now, but probably about 100 that I've never opened.davidHartzog said:Books, dvds and dust.
Do you collect special editions in the dvds as well?Stan said:Ditto for me, but also must add in the factor of "unopened" DVDs, still in their shrink-wrap, many of them ten or more years old, but I had to have them.
