I begin collecting Mercury Dimes as a teenager and that eventually led to this little treasure box. The box got full about 30 years ago and I have not added anything since.

I collect Goodwill donation receipts.

I have three receipts right now and plan to pick-up at least two more before the end of the year. It is a nice little deduction at tax time.

Antiques and vintage watches.

HDHNTER · 12 October 2007, 06:29 AM

I have some high end firearms & knives but since getting into watches I have lost interest in collection weapons. The bad thing about gun collecting is you end up tying a lot of cash up in things that you rarely have a chance to play with. With my watches I get to wear them everyday which is far more rewarding then having a safe full of high dollar weapons. Besides that with all of the high profile shootings taking place in the US I am definitely concerned that there may come a day when our Government considers confiscating. I'm not at a point where I want to sell my toys but I'm not looking to aquire any more either. I'll stick with watches from here on out.

Same here Al, but I have kept the last one for 20 years.

Rockrolex · 14 October 2007, 11:11 AM

About 20 years ago, I started collecting this stuff. Here's part of my collection.

It's hard to keep the collection static, though.

dubyatf · 12 October 2007, 09:12 AM

Guitars! I'll never be mistaken for a player but I guess I can call myself a collector!

Here's a couple representing the '60s and '80s:

Gold coins from around the world. I have about 75 of them mostly pre-1900. I particuliarly like from Belguim (Brabant, Flanders) and Netherlands (Holland, Utretcht Gelderland,West Freiland, etc).

Here are a few of my possessions.

Tools · 12 October 2007, 11:21 AM

There's some great collections here guys..

Some fine gentlemen with discriminating tastes..

Mrdi · 12 October 2007, 10:34 AM

Bamboo fly rods and fly reels, fine pens, Ukeleles, chronolgical markers.

I used to collect Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) memorabilia. The MISL lasted from 1978-1992, mostly on the east coast. A lot of great games, a lot of great players.

At one time I had probably the largest collection of MISL game video tapes ever assembled, over 500. I used to sell copies over the internet. Along with fellow average joe fans, former players and coaches used to contact me to buy/sell/trade tapes so they could watch them with their kids.

It really got out of hand as my basement once was bulging with jerseys, magazines, balls, tapes, etc. I finally sold it all to a young man in St Louis about three years ago.

I still have about 15 tapes but no way to watch them since I no longer own a vcr. Someday I'll have them converted to dvds, though.

I'm out of the collection biz as I'm really trying to simplify my life. But it was a wild ride while it lasted.

HDHNTER · 13 October 2007, 03:13 AM

Nice collection USMCsilver. How's that Beta mag working out for you? Any feed issues?
I'd post pics of mine but if we get too many "assault" rifle pics on here the anti-gun folks get a little worked up, lol. Here's a link to my photobucket account if you're interested in checking them out.

Very nice. Love what appears to be a Stoner with the new Magpul (?) stock.

The Beta-C works just fine. I've had only a couple hundred rounds through it and haven't had the first problem. Very effecient; I even have a different feed tower so I can use it in my HK93. Works great on a bench since the 30 round mags are too tall. Granted, it's a little heavy when full, but beats constant reloading.

LOL -- all are perfectly legal and semi-auto only. If they were machine guns, then they could be legal if they were pre-87 registered guns. However, the price tag would jump from about $1000 to about $15000+ per rifle. Too rich for my blood just to waste more ammo.

Yep it's a Stoner, 2003 KAC SR25 MKII Match Rifle w/ a few mods. It's essentially a MK11 Mod 0 minus the Mod 0 Gas Block, can & NSN. Consistant 1/2 moa shooter if I do my part.
