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............

Tokolosh · 08.17.2006, 08:47 AM

Maybe you should start a thread on that.

gmku · 08.17.2006, 08:47 AM

Or not.

Savage Clone · 08.17.2006, 08:47 AM

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.

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.

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.
