Re: O/T: What else do you guys collect?

I collect sports books, and I have a decent comic book collection. (please dont laugh too hard, I promise I have never been to comic con)

I have. Went to San Diego Comic Con last July with the wife and kid - it was a BLAST! And I added to balls to my autograph collection there - Todd McFarlane (who owns McGwire's 70th and a pretty major baseball collection and makes Sports Picks) and Thomas Jane (who played Mickey Mantle in 61*)

My Vintage collection (which I just started back up) can be see here along with AUTO'd books:

Re: O/T: What else do you guys collect?

I am very fond of military rifles from WW1 and WW2. I mainly focus on American rifles, 1903's, 1917's, M1's and M1 carbines.

My favorite piece at the moment has to be a Standard Products M1 carbine I picked up. It of course has a stock made by Hillerich & Bradsby during WW2.

Very nice rifle Brian, i bought a model 03-A3 Smith & Corona acouple months ago, it's production year is 1943. But my other collecting hobby is military items(not much), own a WW2 German helemt that was dug-up from Russia, American helemts from WW2-Vietnam war, medals(past relative), and acouple uniforms.

Re: O/T: What else do you guys collect?

I have a collection of vhs sports games on vhs tapes (manly pittsburgh steelers) but have really downsized over the years as they take up alot of room.I used to have a ton of bulls mj basketball games.I was going to transfer them to dvds but never got to it.So the tapes i have left,they just sit in my storage with my other collections.It makes me sad as i used to tape everything and was really big in the taping hobby.I used to have well over 10,000 tapes.I had every shaquille o'neal college game and so many other great games.Sorry sonny,i read your post and it reminded me of my collection and had to write this.

Re: O/T: What else do you guys collect?

Now I concentrate on baseball but used to collect vintage movie posters from the 30's to the 60's. Got a nice collection, most of them archive framed. Most likely sell some of them but a few are rare so one day will donate them to a museum or back to the studios.

Also collecting recents Topps Series 1 and Series 2 baseball cards.
