That's for damn sure!

Im into collecting beer tap handles. i think im up to about 50 now, i dont remember exactly as they have been in storage since we moved into the apartment and i no longer have room to put them out. That will change as soon as our house is done and i get my man cave back.

Broken hearts.

golf balls, ball markers, dirty looks.

wavescrashing · 05-31-2011, 05:53 PM

shattered dreams and motivation (kept in the finest bottle of Mississippi Mud).
Other than that, I've got sports cards I no longer collect and a nice slew of military coins.

themoneycollector · 05-31-2011, 05:57 PM

I collect old US coins

I'm a mechanic, I know all about this one. Less collection more obsession though. If it has a use, wether I need it or not, I'm going to buy it. The tools guys see people like me from a mile away.

Canadian postage stamps and cigars.....

and pipes...

jsnake · 05-31-2011, 06:05 PM

3 rows deep on this one...

16 boxes of 12 baseballs each...that I still need to find room for.

Dust.

Aside from that, Not much.
Use to collect sports cards and autographs but years ago.

gettysburgfreak · 05-31-2011, 08:16 PM

Baseball autographs and memorabilia and civil war books and civil war relics. Have mostly focused on my civil war collection but still occasionally pick up some autographs.

jjirons69 · 05-31-2011, 09:21 PM

I've got tons of American stamps and related postal items - plus some old US money. Got a good collection of foreign money friends and family have been bringing me from their travels over the years. Like Brad said, I try not to go too crazy (i.e. Mac) or I'd have too much chit and nowhere to put it. One thing I would love to collect is fishing lures. I've dodged that fantasy because I know if I ever start, it'll be my demise. I just love a well-made, old fishing lure.

Sancho Fuente · 05-31-2011, 09:22 PM

Wow Mac, that's freaking impressive!

[quote=Sancho Fuente;1279776]I know that everyone here shares an interest in collecting cigars, but what else do you collect besides them.

For me, its beer stiens and intersting liquor bottles. . .

Is that a Yuengling B&T beer stein? I love yuengling. I would kill for one of those.

Apoco · 06-01-2011, 07:44 AM

Cigars and video games. I have a 72 cd holder full of 360, PS3 and PS2 games. On steam I have somewhere around 50 games in my library.

I also have backups of (nearly) every DVD that has come into my house. I'm a bit of a digital hoarder (with 3 TB of space

)

I collect signed NFL/College helmets, jerseys, footballs and anything else I can get a signature on.

elderboy02 · 06-01-2011, 08:04 AM

Nice Mac!

I used to collect guns and ammo before I got into cigars.

Like the shirts say... "ATF should be a convenience store, not a gov't agency"

MajorCaptSilly · 06-01-2011, 08:08 AM

I used to be a collector of Pillsbury Doughboy stuff. I haven't searched any out for years but still have the stuff I got in the 90's and early 2000's.

Threadjack:

Do you backup BluRay? If so, what software do you use.

Sorry...back on topic....
