Anyway, I collect a variety of different things, but my main ones would be sports cards (baseball, basketball, and American football) and other sports memorabilia, pocket knives, fridge magnets, LEGO sets, and guitars.
Pocket Knives:
I guess I'll start with my pocket knife collection. I started this one when I joined Cub Scouts (and later Boy Scouts) back when I was a wee lad.
This was the first knife I owned:
Since then my collection has grown to about 30-35 different knives. I have an affinity for Swiss Army ones (particularly blue ones) like this:
I have several very small knives (3 inches of less when folded) since I like small things for whatever reason. I intend to have a display case for them all at some point, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Refridgerator Magnets:
Next, I think I will talk about my fridge magnet collection a bit. This one is my newest collection. I started it on my trip to Europe last year. I bought a magnet in every place I visited. So, from Europe currently I have Sorrento, Tunisia, Barcelona, Monaco/Monte Carlo, Nice, Livorno, Pisa, Rome, Vatican City, and Frankfurt Airport. I also decided to go back and buy some magnets online of places in North America that I've been to. Boston, Seattle, Cleveland, Washington DC, Tampa, Wilmington, Key West, and Vancouver.
The one thing I am slightly disappointed about is that for the Europe ones, I got every one in the city/country while I was there EXCEPT Nice France. I didn't have enough time to find one while I was there, so I had to buy that one off eBay. =\
LEGO Sets:
Yes, I do in fact still play with LEGO sets once in a while. My favorite set themes are the Forestmen/Castle, Star Wars, and Pirates. I have too many sets to count, although I estimate there are probably over 40. One, in particular will probably always be my favorite. The Black Seas Barracuda.
I got that one as a gift from my parents after my first major spine surgery.
Another favorite is the Camouflaged Outpost. I don't remember when I got that one as a child, but I always loved the secret doors it had.
I have to get ready for rehearsal, so I will post about my sports cards/memorabilia and my guitars tomorrow.
