Futtocks Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I have a 2 or 3 thousand records in various formats, but the mass acquisitions are way down now. I've filled in most of the big gaps from the past that felt important to me, and am just buying the occasional album these days when it feels worth it. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Adelaide Tiger Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Never been a collector of anything specific but I remember collecting the Esso FA Cup Centenary Coins in 1972 which was a great achievement seeing we didn’t even have a car! The centre piece of the collection - which consisted of a coin for every existing professional team that had won the FA Cup - was a larger bronze coin for the Leeds v Arsenal 1972 Centenary Final.

Wolford6 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Carnival Glass ... green and purple; not the orange because I think it's horrible. I've got boxes of it stored away that I bought because I didn't have a particular model and have no room left to display it.

Futtocks Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 To steal a joke from the Canadian comedian Stewart Francis: "My dad used to collect bottles. That sounds so much better than saying he was an alcoholic". 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Gerrumonside ref Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Sports programmes and art gallery books. The latter is about ticking off a bucket list of great works of western art to visit. I can’t deny that I see it like Panini football sticker albums of old: Got: Tate Modern, National Gallery (London), Ashmolean, Hermitage (St Petersburg, Ru), Uffizi, Galleria Academica, Galleria Borghese, Louvre, Musee de l’Orangie, Musee d’Orsay, Pompidou centre, Belvedere Palace, Museum of Fine Arts Budapest, The Dali (St Petersburg, Fl), The Art Institute of Chicago, Seattle Art Museum, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, Picasso Museum (Barcelona), Museum of Antiquities in Cairo Need: New York Metropolitan and MoMa, Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisra (Madrid), Kunsthistoriche Museum (Vienna), National Gallery (Oslo), Royal Museums of Fine Art (Brussels)…many more! Its been a lifetime thing and I can’t see me ever ‘completing’ this, so pretty satisfying. Don’t ask me which ones represent the ‘foil’ stickers either!

Angelic Upstart Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I had a pretty impressive collection of punk vinyl, and sold it all a few years back.

AB Knight Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Vintage American comics. I only own a handful nowadays - the 3 biggest Marvel comics from the 1960s (1st appearance of Spider-Man, 1st Fantastic Four, 1st Hulk). I also own a single page from Action Comics # 1 (1st Superman appearance 1938).....for a full/complete copy you’re looking at £400k minimum and besides there’s only about 75 copies known to exist so I’m happy with just a page. All kept safely in a bank vault! Edited August 24 by AB Knight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have loads of vinyl lp’s/12”/7”s and although i don’t listen to them anymore i could never get rid of them. I want all my Half Man Half Biscuit cd’s and Albums buried with me, i wouldn’t want them to be thrown into a skip when I’m gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
