This isn't a favorite topic for my wife (MountainLady).  She would prefer to have the 200 square feet of space used for other things.

When I go to that great coin store in the sky, it's hard to imagine what my family will do with the collectibles I leave behind.

Following are some of my collections.

The figures given may not be accurate in that I haven't looked into many of them for years.

Gary,

Your collections make my 12.000 stamps pale into insignificance.

TwoShadows:
Sure would make a great Ebay sale wouldn't it? Especially anything with a signature on it! It is amazing what we can get interested in and save over a lifetime and even though we don't do it as an investment many times our collections turn into amazing values that we were not even aware we had. And, it is even more impressive that you actually know what you have. I couldn't even tell you what I have in coins, let alone anything else!

scottishmoney:
I would never collect anything else :o  Yeah right.

edix:
Our household has well over 2,500 books.
