Members mr.rs Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I also collect movies. Have about 900 dvds, 40 hd-dvds, and 30 blu-rays so far.My other collection consists of comics. Lots of them. Here are a few pics I took a few years back of a choice few.When put into perspective, it's a wonder why the wife puts up with my off keel list of spending priorities.

I used to collect comics, but no longer. However, I don't own enough guitars to consider myself a collector, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmc69 Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Used to collect coins, trading cards and airplane model kits. Now guitar collecting takes up all my resources. Wouldn't mind reliving my childhood and collect Pokemon cards again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Texas Noise Factory Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Basses, Synthesizers, Drum Machines, Effects units, and recordings.I'd collect cars if my wife would let me. However, I'm happy with my hand-me-down '98 SVT Mustang Cobra. It's always been in the family. Still a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larry50 Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Books primarily. Probably have 1000 or so volumes in the shelves, and another 500 or so boxed. Also, over the years and through my recent purchase of a new Nikon D7000, a rather large collection of film and digital cameras and lenses (primarily Nikon).

Members FoonkySteve Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Not so much of a guitar collector myself, i have about 10 just now, and a valid excuse for every-one! Other than that nothing too crazy, i just collect womens handbags, and whips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob411 Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I used to collect plastic automotive model kits. I sold 150 of them at one point, gave about 80+ parts and started kits away, and sold probably another 50 -70 kits just last year and I bet I still have around 150 kits left. Now, besides guitars, I guess I just collect parts for our three cars in the garage to build with ('20 Model T, '71 Duster, '85 Ram stepside). I also seem to collect alot of side work in the fabrication/engine building arena. Just finished tubbing this 73 Plymouth Roadrunner today after about 6 months of work. Now just have to finish the two engines for other guys cars---then just maybe I can get to my Gretsch build thats been sitting for three + years....... Reminded me of my older brother's Satellite Sebring Plus. His was blue, found this pic on the internet. He always had cool cars. A Goat, a Super Bee, "scariest car I ever rode in" , El Camino, Chevy II. I've never owned a cool car. Now that I'm older, and have some disposable income, I don't want one. If I had one, I would feel like it was my responsibility to preserve it. Wash, and wax it every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultrastick Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I used to collect radio controlled aircraft, hence my avatar. It doesn't take many of them to take up a lot of room. Sold them off recently and took up golf. Now I collect golf clubs... ....and guitars.... .....and amplifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Just amps in addition to guitars (to include bass guitars).I sold those 2 little monitors and the big Peavey board, but still have all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arrowhen Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I used to collect role playing games (Dungeons & Dragons, etc.) but moving to a town with a severe shortage of geeks to play with kind of put a damper on that hobby. I just couldn't justify spending money on games I'd probably never play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldMattB Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I collect Amerind art and jewelry. I also collect books on Indian history and culture, and I have probably between 800 and 900 now. I am running out of space, so I am concentrating on pre 1900 books, including reprints, and Indian captivity stories. oldMattB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kit_strong Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Stocks I don't know if I've ever really been a collector of anything but I've definitely been known to spend my money freely and have a decent amount of DVDs, books, comics, video games, etc... I realized awhile back that i would rather be able to enjoy an early retirement as opposed to continuing to amass more stuff so my spending has really been curtailed with the bulk of my discretionary income going into my or my daughters' brokerage account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar Heel Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 baseball cards and hockey cards, but not for several years now. Used to collect rocks, and still have a bunch of those somewhere. I have a pretty nice CD collection, but that's been waning as well. So right now, I guess it's pretty much just guitars, with lingering remnants of past obsessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I used to collect radios, including shortwave radios. But it got to be a space issue, so I stopped. I also used to collect wristwatches. I have 6 Russian watches, including a couple from the 70s. I also have a rare LED watch from the 70s that's worth a lot of money now. Now my big thing is books. I probably have close to 2,000 books. I have a sizable collection of books about spaceflight, planetary science, and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
