Along with a childhood of inattention from my dad, he also gave me the gift of the "Collection Gene". I have to collect things, weird things, odball things, normal things. Here's some that I have/are attempting:
- Wacky-Packages ♦ I would still collect these today if I coudl ever find them.
- Old Time Radio ♦ By far my biggest collection. If I were to queue up all the files that I have and hit play, it would be approximately 5.5 years before you get to the end of the playlist. This is if you played it 24/7.
- Baseball Cards ♦ In 1989 I went NUTS buys any and all baseball cards that I could. It was good timing as I have a couple of complete Upper Deck 1989 sets, their first offered, including the Griffey rookie. Once you realize what a scam sports cards are, it kinna ruins the fun.
- Pogs ♦ The less we say about this phase, the better.
- MAD Magazine ♦ One of my better choices, still collecting to this day.
- LEGO ♦ Can you say expensive? Thrift stores have caught on but have about 35,000 elements before they knew what they had.
- Field Notes Notebooks ♦ I have a SUBSCRIPTION to notebooks!
- Comics ♦ Unfortunately this just became to expensive and was replaced by ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
- Digital Comics ♦ Still fairly active in this area, as a matter of fact if you downloaded comics when the scene first arrive, you probably downloaded one of my scans. You know, "another fine Baconscan..."
- Playing Cards ♦ This one I can't even begin to explain.
- Board Games ♦ My current active collecting. This seems to be fairly harmless as I can find 2 or 3 a week at the Thrift Shop for under 5 bux.
- Various Digital Files ♦ This is the one that I have kept up with the longest. There is something about downloading and collecting files. Organizing , catalogging files such as:
- Audiobooks
- Movies/TV ISO's
- Wallpaper images
- Animated GIF's
- Virtual Pinpall
- ANY type of emulation
