What else do you collect?

[OgNasty]

I can’t believe this one sold for $3,500. I feel like I missed a steal here. I didn’t think it was real. It would have made for quite the auction in these parts I think. Maybe even some decent advertising for our little corner of the woods.

[OgNasty]

Mail call! With these four legendary signatures confirmed I am but 1 signed card away from completing my mission to collect all autographed big head cards in the 1991 Score All Star set. I’ve already paid for a private signing for the last one (Ken Griffey Jr), so it is a matter of time before I have that as well. What a chase it has been… In another 6 months or so I’ll have all 20 authenticated by PSA and nicely displayed. My inner child could not be happier.

Nice! You are dedicated, thats for sure.

I only remember ever being interested in trading cards in the past for a brief amount of time
I think the series were Match Cards and I definitely remember the Top Trumps series - but they
were for all sorts of areas, not just sport, only thing was I didnt know anyone else who was interested
at the time.

Love it when a long awaited collection is seen finished. The chase is my favorite though.

A childhood dream realized (almost). It will be one of my favorite display pieces next to my signed Mike Tyson’s Punch Out picture and my autographed Charlie Sheen - Ricky Vaughn jersey.

I really wanted to collect autographed cards from the starters of the 1992 Dream Team, but I saw the Michael Jordan one was over $50,000 so maybe I will call it quits on the card collecting after this and go back to collecting Bitcoin themed Pez dispensers and Chia Pets.

I collected baseball cards as a kid probably from 1990-1992. The junk wax era that was mostly kids being taken advantage of, but it taught me a lesson in scarcity that would serve me well later in life.

Ahhhh Collecting.....I collected sports autographs in the 90's. I grew up in South Jersey and would go watch the Flyers hockey team practice. I once found a Rod Brind Amour broken stick that was thrown in the trash on the side of the building. I picked it up and eventually had it signed by 5 different teams back in the early to mid 90's...When hockey teams would come into town to play the Flyers, they would sometimes practice at an ice rink not to far from my house. Would go watch...Had the hockey stick signed by the Flyers, Islanders, Sabres, Habs, Nordiques **Forsberg's rookie year, Sakic, Mogilny, Owen Nolan, Hasek, Lindros......Man hockey was so awesome back then....

Awesome times.....Never did get Habs Claude Lemieux autograph even after I told him he was the only one to not have signed....Politely told me to get lost  

Eventually got married had 2 kids and sold all my sports memorabilia...I guess life happened...



Well anyways....Happy collecting to all

That's a sweet ride.  I wouldn't mind having a muscle car myself but I need a bigger garage first.

[Bitgoat65]

Thanks!
Decide on the ride, and you will figure out the storage :-)

[OgNasty]

This makes me happy. I’m so close to completing this collection. 19/20 obtained. Just need to find 1 more autographed card and get another batch back from PSA. A childhood dream mere months away from being realized.

[Bullion-n-BTC]

Guns.

Same. Have a bigger collection of those than I do physical btc

[OgNasty]

How about this score? I wanted to collect the Dream Team starting 5 autographed hoops cards, but the Michael Jordan is out of my price range. I’ll have to settle for this little piece of history.

Anyone here collecting gold coins and bullion like PAMP Suisse? I’m planning to start collecting this when the gold price correct further but my concern is how profitable is this collection in the long run since the premium on buying it so high compared when I will sell it on spot price.

I’m interested to see too crypto coin collectibles in gold. Recently, I’m starting to be attracted on Gold investment due to my social algorithm for gold. 

[aoluain]

I take it you have seen Caribbean Treasures' Gold thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494588.0
There are some Gold pieces still available from the collection.

I hear what you are saying about paying a premium for a Gold coin or bar like those from
Pamp but if you are reselling them you could put your own premium on them surely?

I did at some point in the near past entertain the idea of trying to collect Gold nuggets
direct from prospectors but there is still duty and tax to be paid to get them into my country.

Any Transformers The Movie 1986 fans around here? They just released a set of cards with Upper Deck for the 40 year anniversary, including a set of numbered cards and some autographs. I’m not a pack ripper but I am going to score a set of the numbered cards on eBay. One of my favorite movies ever. Now I’m going to have to watch for old cartoon voice actor signings.

I found out my dad was hoarding his bank cards so I bought a booklet to put them in and now I have an assortment of bank, debit credit and prepaid cards spanning back 3 decades.

the 1948 to 1953 can not be found that easy in PF69 or PF68

1948 and 1949 do not come in PF at all

I lost a bid for a 1952 PF69 it went for quite a bit

but I still try to better my 1948 to 1953 coins in this set
