who are collectors.
Can't post pictures but I have a complete set of the late 1940s, early 1950s bronzed dinosaurs that were sold at Natural History museums.
Some nice pre WW2 baseball gloves.
Quite a few first editions of works by Kerouac, Corso and Ginsberg.

was the company and SRG is on the underside of most of the dinosaurs.
I bought quite a few from the Natural History Museum in DC - $1 for a small, $2 for a large
and bought the rest later in life.
Thanks for the link.

But I'm always fascinated by people's collections.

I moved too many times to ever think about amassing things. If anything I tend to cull things a lot more than others do.

Most of my collection is still packed away in the shed where it was put back in 2010 when we tried to sell the house.

Anyway, I collect copper stuff. Plates and cups and teapots and kettles and things like that.

I even have two copper birdfeeders

And the backsplash behind my kitchen sink is copper, as is the faucet and paper towel holder.

the setup used to be more expansive, i have all the action figures from the original xfiles movie and most of the ones from sleepy hollow. everything is boxed up now because we don't have room in our current place to put any of it out.

I have about 3,000 Nascar diecasts and 2,000 Cars diecasts. That set in the box is one of 1,000 numbered sets that I bought for $300, it is now worth $3,000.

I actually have 2 of them that he signed for me. Most drivers will sign a piece if you mail it to them with return postage. Depending on the driver it may take a few months for the car to come back.
