    I used to collect Hot Wheels. They ended up being too much trouble to store in our little place and I sold them in 1997 to a collector for $1200.

    Science Fiction digest magazines. I have a few hundred for sale, if anyone is interested. I'm not interested in selling my entire collection, but I'm tired of moving the whole lot.

    Any thing that has 1976 (bicentennial) on it as long as it doesn't cost a fortune. My daughter was born that year and started collecting then.

    I collect Beer Stiens, I have gotten alot of older Avon (yes Avon they put out very nice collectable stiens) Stiens off of ebay for great prices. Most of the other I bought off ebay that were not Avon have been not as nice. I am cheap so I won't pay alot especially off ebay were you can't really tell if they are cracked or not.

    Used to collect Coffee Cups

    After moving several times, I lost my desire to collect a lot of stuff, but I keep my hymn books.

    How many you got, brother? Grandpa John R. ended up with six--couldn't get the Lord to send him a boy. :D

    Does no one else collect baseball cards? I enjoy getting them from two countries. Have several rookie cards, both Japanese and American, of Nomo, Ichiro and Matsui (either one).And some great cards and an autograph of Sadaharu Oh, who hit more home runs than Hank Aaron (but in smaller ballparks). :cool:

    What's your husband's biggest treasure, Gwen? Mine would have to be the magazine (from about 1970) autographed by Sadaharu Oh which my wife found for me at a second hand book store for a couple of hundred yen (a couple of dollars!).
