I have several different areas of collecting, it started with stamps and rocks when I was smaller, but, I have more or less lost interest in both; however, the collecting bug has never really left me! I'll be posting here about my various collections, and , I hope to hear from all of you and what turns YOUR crank, collection-wise, whether it be books, videos, antiques, salt shakers or even matchbook covers! ;D

Well, one of the many things I collect are old postcards (mainly of my city and the Welland canal that runs through it) Here's some examples I scanned for a Welland Canals Forum I also belong to: Locks at Port Colborne ca. 1900 My home town and the Canal ca. 1907 And some 30 years later, note the more modern bridge

My home town downtown, in the 40s 50s and a pic I took from the same spot today An aerial view ca. 1968 And another aerial view, ca. 1990 (This channel of the canal is now closed to navigation after 150 years, the main shipping channel having been moved 1 mile east)

Guitars,wow,that must be fun.Can you play em? Ive done so much air guitar like a fool,but I don't think i could play one note.lol I played the trombone as a kid,what a nerdy instrument that was. Uh,stamps and post cards,sounds interesting.I always hated having to use tongs to handle them though. Right now I'm into collecting silver.Bars and rounds and coins.Just got my monster box of silver eagles.I think gold will pull up the price of silver to at least 50 bucks.

Everything amazing such as bicycles, cameras, keyboards, computers, rock records, painting goods! I don't intend to collect something, but hobby goods increase more and more as I overdose on the hobby deeper.

What kind of toys are you collecting now? Robot? Animation characters? Puzles? Air guns? Radio-controlled airplanes? I'm interseted in radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters, though I've never tried so far.

Anime figures, toy cars and the odd thing I just plain like (I will try to post some pics as soon as I can)
