Does anyone find it weird to collect old 1800s photos? There are lots of photos from the 1800s at the flea market for 75¢ even tin photos. But my family thinks it's creepy collecting them. My dad, on the other hand, doesn't think they are worth collecting.

I NEVER walk past them without looking. It just amazes me that you can see pictures of people well over 100 years ago - they lived their lives, had families and here you can actually see them - amazing!

I'm the same way! I'm like these people built this country. It's the same when I pick up something old like wow this was used before me, my dad and so on. Really makes me think and gives me gooses bumps.
