I have a card collection. (baseball, basketball, football, hockey, boxing) I was actually looking thru a few boxes over the xmas holiday. I actually have a Julio Cesar Chavez boxing card which surprised me. Probably about 10-12K cards combined. I stopped collecting towards the end of high school. (1996ish) I know for a fact I have a few collector cards in every sport!

Recently I started buying albums (vinyl records) of bands I listen to. I am talking about modern music not classic. Many hardcore, punk, and less mainstream bands release their EPs and LPs on vinyl. They are just something cool to own, and a lot are very limited press. I collect tattoos also if you want to count that.

Hobbies? Cars has been my main one. Other than that fishing, playing guitar, working out, and bike riding. Those are the only things I do with any regularity, but Im into anything active or outdoors for the most part.

I actually have a shit ton of old baseball cards and Magic the Gathering cards from when I was kid I am trying to see. Anyone know of a place I can sell these?

Figure out if you have any cards that are exceptionally rare/valuable and sell them individually. Not many hobby/card shops around any more, but there are a few places online that will buy them. The rest of the crap, just sell on craigslist. Maybe 4 years back now, I sold the "junk" part of my MTG collection for $100 on craigslist.

I remember when i was a kid you could find lots of card shops. They had one in my area that was walking distance. They also had a really nice shop in a nearby suburb that I used to ask my dad to take me all the time. The good ol days. All these young kids now a days play video games and watch tv all day.

Yeah I know, its a shame. Until I was about 10 there was a candy/card store about a mile from my house. The type of place with all the nickel penny and dime candy. Fake cigarettes, bubblegum cigars, all that cool shit! I remember going there allllll the time with my mom and buying xmen cards!

I used to collect comics. I got nightwing 0-20, spawn 1-50 including issue 1 in black and white and the entire Curse of the Spawn series including 1 in black and white. Also various other #1 comics of smaller series that never made it, mostly image comics. None of these are worth anything anymore since ebay came about. Just too easy to find them.

I had a small collection of comics. Recently I found that alot of them have discoloration, even the ones in plastic. I should have sealed the top of the plastic better so the air wouldnt affect the top portion of the comic. Oh well I dont think I had anything worth being mad about. I still have some decent well preserved comics that might be worth a small amount.

I play golf when i can and i have over 50 Zippo lighters

I'm the same with Golf. It's nice and relaxing to get out and play a 4 hour 18 hole game with a few friends.

I used to collect comic books as well as baseball cards. I used to have a magic johnson basketball card collection (he used to be my favorite), but I don't know what happened to that.

I also buy video games and blu-rays. (I have 25 ps3 games, 100 blu-rays)

Hobbies: Detailing, Jogging / Playing Sports (all except soccer), Watching Movies and so on...

Collections: I have a huge baseball card collection from when I was growing up. I stopped collecting around the year 2000 and I have put the majority of my cards that were valued at $1.00+ in hard sleeves and stored them away. I have a ton of autographs, game-used materials and numbered cards down to a 1 of 10.

I would say that I also collect DVDs. I have built my collection up over the past two years. I have around 225 DVDs and 40 Blu-rays. My goal when I getter older and have kids is to have a wall full of movies and to turn one of my rooms into a theatre.

There are a lot of classics that I will want to watch 10-20-30 years down the road.
