What Do You Collect, If Anything?????

[kid iowa]

Either magic performances on dvd (Copperfield, Lance Burton, Penn and Teller, the Amazing Jonathan), or instructional dvd's on how to do magic and sleight of hand.

8) I was just looking at my hutch...It has large glass doors and is crammed full of this and that's....I COLLECT THIS AND THAT'S....It could be as simple as a scribble on a piece of paper from some of the kids I subbed for in 2001-2 to something as big as the first real toy my daughter ever held dear or her silly hat that she never went without....I even have her baby teeth and her little brown naval cord in a bottle that I show off to people....(She hates that)....I collect everything,I keep most everything.How many people still have their first green piece of paper saying that this is a temporary drivers license.......I still have it and my very first mug drivers license....Put it in an old Bible years ago....keeps well there.

When my son was born, I started collecting HotWheels cars. Same as modern day coinage. Mistakes, errors and how many made come into play. You'de be surprised. I have hotwheels cars that I payed .96 in a store and have them turn out to be worth $70+ dollars to collectors.

 

[GunFarce]

Coins, US and world. Joseph Wambaugh ? novels/books. Shot glasses.

I get emails all the time from folks looking for odd or one-off shotglasses.. There seems to be a lot of people that collect them, as well as for personal use.. The weirdest request I have ever had was from a young woman (I assume), obviously 'goth', that was planning her wedding. She asked if I could put a 'Skull' on her wedding shotglasses.. YUP I can if ya want em!! Festive is as festive wants......I guess...

Oh Ya!! It seems I also collect computers.. Not just the newer type Windows etc. which seem to collect as they go obsolete every couple of years.
But going through my list, I have a H8 (Heathkit, I built it piece by piece, part by part, solder joint by solder joint in mid 70's), a Timex Computer (and it's still ticking I guess)
A Radio Shack Mod 3, Model 4, and a Radio shack Colour Computer, I did have a original Altair at one time but that one vanished.. The Altair was the 'first' home computer, programed in binary with toggle switches and a button.. The H8 was programmed in Octal, Assembler, or later on Basic.. I brought 24K (thats K) of memory from godbout engineering in Calif. and it cost me over $800.00 Canadian.. It was amazing what you could actually do with only 32K of memory, and later a wopping 64k.. Later ones (IBM's etc) would only recognise 640 k max, because Bill Gates didn't think ANYONE would ever need more than that!! Now, most of us have pictures that are larger than that.. My first Hard Drive was attached to A R.S. Mod 4, it was 18" x 24" x 6" and held 5 meg.. Which was absoloutly huge back then and it Ran the 1st AX.25 Packet radio BBS in Canada (1985) All written in Compiled BASIC, and later in 'C'
