145B4IDIE Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just wondering who may be a collector of certain items . Other than my extensive collection of Bills related items, I collect pencils. I kinda got into them at a young age when my grandfather had a box of old and unique ones and let me look through them. I have and treasure them now and have been collecting ever since. Some are nearly 100 years old and very unique. I also have several old typewriters that I've acquired because of their sculptural artistic nature, Underwood, Royal, L.C Smith(Corona) etc. So, what does anyone collect? Let us know what your passion is, maybe someone can help fill a collection. I know this thread opens ample room for some less than serious replies, and that's OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think theres the elitist communities where you must apply for permission to grow a certain colour flower in your garden or Paint your mailbox a certain colour that would have them banned, and then theres the hipster communites where I would be its the cool thing to do because its old and retro making it cool until many people start doing it again........

Just others. Some don't think it looks right. I live in the hood (well kinda) now. Some communities, wouldn't even let residents park a pickup in their driveway. Even back in day! This was from back in day, 1989... Close to where I am. https://www.nytimes.com/1989/11/13/us/flossmoor-journal-for-pickup-no-parking-in-its-own-driveway.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A friend of mine collects 80s and 90s arcade games. He has a garage full of faded and warped wooden cabinets, burnt out system boards, heavy ass CRT, and leaking capacitor But when all the pieces fit together he's got a sweet Top Gun, Spy Hunter, Mortal Kombat, etc rig that sells for a pretty penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Was a big toy car collector as a kid and then sports cards when I got older. The cars I kept but the cards I threw out most of them unless they were somewhat valuable or were a Bills player. Every now and then though I appease my inner child by buying some basketball cards or Hot Wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
