Collectibles, antiques, memorabilia, figurines, etc.

What do you collect/acquire? This is just some of my 1/2 ounce & 1 ounce silver rounds/bars, and 1 gram gold ingots (31 grams equals one ounce). I have bigger pieces which I store in a bank safe deposit box.

Memories

[disneysteve]

I've been collecting Walt Disney memorabilia since around 1975. If someone refreshes my memory of how to post photos, I'll put up a couple of pictures.

I have some old coins and currency from my great grandfather that I inherited. I also have some old Lionel trains that I inherited.

I don't actively collect anything at the moment though.

Yes Disneysteve post some of your pictures when you have time. I would like to see some of your collection. I'm sure others would like to see too. These are the steps to post pictures.



1) Upload the pictures to a site such as Tiny Pic, Photobucket, Flickr, etc (I use photobucket)

2) Copy the "Img" code from Tiny Pic, Photobucket, Flickr, etc.

3) When you come back to this site and are ready to post, click on the "insert image" link and paste your "Img" code in the field.

4) The Img code will look something like this;

[IMG][IMG]httpst://d394/albums/pp29/officejet/3.jpg[/IMG][/IMG}

5) Notice that it will have duplicate IMG's at the beginning and ending of the IMG code. Delete one IMG at the beginning and delete one IMG at the ending so it should now look like this;

[IMG]httpst://d394/albums/pp29/officejet/3.jpg[/IMG]


6) That should do it and your picture should appear

Foreign currency consisting of Canadian dollars, Mexican Pesos, and Japanese yen (about $10,000 combined)






I think these are 2.5 gram gold ingots (pictured next to it is a $20 bill for comparison)



Edited to add: I took this photo a while ago and can't remember exactly those sizes.

Oh boy , this is where I have spent money in the past (though thankfully not nearly as much as some people). I have sports / non-sports cards from '71-'85 (sold some, kept alot), toy trains (I often restore junkers), and colorful classic kitchenware (something I like to do with my girlfriend). Thankfully I have gotten to the point where I can resell a small part of what I buy and basically have that pay for the remainder of my purchases.

Nice 97guns! Also, it looks like I'm not the only who eats spam (lol). I like it sliced up in ramen with onions, or fried with eggs in omelettes or made in sandwiches, etc.

Inexpensive watches, all under $100. Citizen, Invictas (2), Casio. The Invictas sort of resemble Rolex perpetual oyster diver's watch, well sort of;
