Anyone on the OC a collector? I currently collect different beer coozies, tumblers, and Ohio State memorabilia.

When I was younger, I used to collect anything Michael Jordan, Dan Marino/Dolphins, and (for some reason) the tags off of my apparel. The big tags, that said where they were from, not the price tags.

Anyone else collectors? I know that Curly J collects beer, and snotbubbles collects used condoms from other men. Anyone else?

That is another thing I collected. I have a ton of baseball cards, mostly Cincinnati Reds cards. I think I have about 2 of every Barry Larkin and Eric Davis card.

It seems as though NASCAR collectibles could be limitless.

I posted to the wrong forum. I had this site and another site open in split screen and thought I was posting to the other site, their question was, what do you fantasize about during sex to achieve the ultimate orgasm. I noticed something was wrong when the replies to my post on the other site started sounding a little gay because I had posted Mickey Mantle baseball cards and old fishing lures on their site and Midgets and Clowns on this site.

Eh, a bunch of it is worthless because of such mass production. Even most autographs are essentially worthless since there are so many autographed items out there due to the access fans are able to have to the drivers.

I collect Canadian quarters. I got about 6 of them.

Seriously though I don't collect much except older sports cards.

I use to collect Older Fire Extinguishers. My first one was an old galvanized type that I bought for $5.00. I cleaned it up painted it and put some brass hardware on it. I was up to about 8 different types, copper, brass, handheld, and the like. I gave them to my Brother-in-Law who is a Captain on Volunteer Fire Department.

Like ETB said I collect beer, but it will be drank one day.

You do see the difference between his response in this thread and going into a soccer thread and calling everyone a ******, right?

I will not and you can't make me.

As for collection, I've got a decent collection of Reds bobbleheads (~30), Barry Larkin baseball cards, and any other Reds memorabilia in general. My wife doesn't like collections.

No, I don't. /Sarcasm.

Tongue in cheek, sir. It's OK. I've picked up all the shattered pieces to my pathetic life (since I've been banned from that thread) and I am now able to go outside again.

I think this topic comes up every other month or something. It is rather a regular on OC.

As for me, soccer scarves and MLS jerseys are my top ones. I also collect DVDs -- $5 DVDs are a weakness for me. If I could get more hunting in, I would be collecting more and more stuffed animals from the taxidermy.

well i had a rather nice collection of stamps. but i ended up liquidating most of those about 4 years ago at a coin/stamp shop on high st. got about $2,500 from them. Still have an extensive coin collection I inherited, but those will probably be passed on to another generation.
