Invisible is the new black.

I used to collect animal books (when I was younger), but since all the information is pretty much the same, there's not much of a point in buying more. I bought most for the pictures anyway.

Erm....i forgot to give porn a mention............

Maybe you should start a thread on that. :)

Or not.

I would say that I collect underground comics, but I more sort of "accumulate" them. Same with books. In both cases, I only treat a few of them with the kind of care that I treat things I collect more seriously; trying to keep them in optimum condition, obsessive archiving/careful storage, etc.
So yeah, I buy a lot of these and have a lot of them, but wouldn't call myself a collector per se.
Not like records and furniture.

Cantankerous does it, so it must be kool.

Yep,it must be then.

I've been tempted to collect comics again, like I did when I was a kid. But I also remember how obsessive I was, and I know I would be again. One obsession (records) is enough to keep me broke and miserable.

Indeed.
Gotta focus.
I learned that a few years ago.
Time, money and space are all important factors.

Is the only dif with signing in invisible that your name doesn't on the main forum page?

Lasse Braun - King of Porn

Were they by any chance any of my 70's blue movies?

i collect notebooks.. i buy them everywhere. i also have loads of books filled with pictures i found somewhere or used for a drawing. and ive got a few photobooks with old photos (dating from the 30s-40s-50s and early 60s) i heired from my aunt :) then i have some old teddy bears and dolls (all like sixty years old) and a room filled with other mess.

I think what toilet meant is that it's a lame assumption that just because something is shot on 8/16mm that that bestows some sort of inherent artyness on it. Which I would concur with. Sure 8/16mm is more aesthetically pleasing than video on the whole, in my opinion at least, but I wouldn't claim that it automatically had more artistic merit than something shot on video.

Apart from old books,

Commemorative medals (not military, OK?) ie stuff commemorating events etc.

Trade tokens.

Anything concerning local history.

And we have loads of antique prints, boxes and other stuff around the house.
