Vintage Video Games

Started as a kid when the Atari VCS was the greatest thing on earth!

Yes

Neither... I am going to take it to the grave with me, and then, if God permits, I will be taking it to my pad in heaven.

What do you collect?
Coins and antique bottles.


How did your collection start?
When I started metal detecting, the interest just kind of expanded.


Do you organize your collection?
Coins, yes - bottle, not really.


Do you plan on selling it eventually or passing it on?
I hope to pass them on to my kids someday, if they are interested.



What makes you keep collecting? (i.e. why haven?t you stopped?)
Because I like them, and they may increase in value.

What do you collect?
Dirty looks from my wife....


How did your collection start?

She kept giving em to me....free!

Do you organize your collection?
No...however I do catagorize them.. There's the..Frosty eyed "you know what you did!" looks, and the smoldering "If you don't know, I'm not telling you" looks. With subcatagories of course....


 
Do you plan on selling it eventually or passing it on?
I try passing them on to the kids or even returning them to the wife but somehow they seem to have a short shelf life and the effect isn't the same.



What makes you keep collecting? (i.e. why haven?t you stopped?)
Believe me...I'm trying to stop! But...somehow I keep earning new ones... I think its a guy thing....
:lol:


so if you guys and gals could answer those... that'd be terrific, and a great help.
thanks!

What do you collect?
A) Movies
B) Coins
C) Owls


How did your collection start?
A) The very first movie I got to record (on the first VCR ever made) let me pause to go pee. That's all it took!
B) Metal-detecting was the obvious culprit.
C) An old girlfriend bought me a pair of antique brass book ends. Since, I've collected (and named) thousands!


Do you organize your collection?
A) That's exactly why we had to get our first computer.
B) Without a doubt. A big necessity.
C) Used to... then it got out of hand.


Do you plan on selling it eventually or passing it on?
A) No. It'll probably die when I die anyway.
B) I don't want to find a check in MY coffin, so I'll leave it here. Maybe take one coin around my neck on a chain.
C) Gave most of them away. Kept the collectibles, antiques, and all the solid brass ones. Polishing day sucks.


What makes you keep collecting? (i.e. why haven?t you stopped?)
A) Like Peter Sellers' says... "I like to watch"...!
B) Some kinda huge bug bit me... I think.
C) I won't stopsearching for the best ones 'til I get a full-sized Great Horned tatooed on my back!

What do you collect?
coins. US coins, mostly. Let's see, Indian Heads, Wheaties, Buffalos, Liberty V's, Jerffersons, Barber dimes, Mercs, Roosevelt dimes, Barber quarters, standing Liberty, Washington, Walking Liberty halves, Franklins, Kennedy's, Margan Dollars, Peace dollars, Ike dollars, SBA dollars, Sacagewea dollars, and some foreign(to me) stuff


How did your collection start?
Held on to cool coins when I was younger, friend got me really into the hobby. I got a couple of coin holder books, startes with Mercs. I eBayed for rolls of Mercs and wheaties, and got stuff from www.coinland.com


Do you organize your collection?
I put (almost) everything in 2x2 holders, then put them in those binder pages, which naturally go into a binder. I have dividers, and I seperate by denomination. (1, 5, 10,...) I also put oldest coins of each denomination first, and therefore they are seperated by type. After my one page :( of dollars I have unique stuff like gold plated coins and my troy ounce silver bar, and my silver eagle. Then I have my foreign coins. The only part of my collection I don't put into holders are all my wheaties(doubles) because there are over 1500 of them.

 
Do you plan on selling it eventually or passing it on?
Probably pass it on, unless I get REAL desperate for money.



What makes you keep collecting? (i.e. why haven?t you stopped?)

My hobbies of MDing and coin collecting keep each other going. When I find a nice coin, it usually goes into my collection.

so if you guys and gals could answer those... that'd be terrific, and a great help.
thanks!
