What wierd and wonderful things do the forumites collect? Stamps? Cooking utensils? Hotel paraphenalia from the 1980s, clown dolls? Whatever it is, post it up here.

And since I am starting the thread....I collect knives, hunting, combat, folding etc etc.

Cheers.

pens lol

In year 9 I started "collecting" pens. Well I scabbed them from the ground to use as spares in case I ever lost mine. I had quite a collection by the end of the year. Continued doing this right through to year 12. Have hundreds of pens now!

I have started collecting coins too, i have a small collection but its slowly getting bigger

put them in a plastic sleve. then take it down to your local nerd Shop (commic shop) and get it valued...make sure you take a friend or a couple depending on how many ppl in store...other wise once they find out GEEK ATTACK!!!!!

LOL can i have one LOL. hehehehehe

BJ · 08-11-2006, 04:49 PM

They are stored away in acid and lignin free bags, my wife is a genealogist so all of that sort of stuff is well taken care of. So that would mean the first edition Batman and Superman ones i have will be worth something as well then hey?? Well you learn something every day don't you. Bj

AC/DC · 08-11-2006, 08:28 PM

I collect old Metal and Rock Vynil from the 70's and Early 80's......

Remember the Iron Maiden graphics on the album covers, , they are excellent. Got em all on vynil.

Also most of the available Metallica.

ALL AC/DC vynil, including American and English release albums with different cover art.

Got a heap of Skol, Megadeth, Rose Tats, Angels, Ozzy, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Poison, Gunners, Skid Row, etc etc, among others..

Nothin sounds better than a good vynil on a decent system. The sound EAISLY out strips CD or even DVD audio.

AC/DC Powerage and Let there be rock, on Vynil sounds like you are there !

rock on

AC/DC
