medjuck Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 * last summer I developed a facsination with the graphic design scheme from the 1968 Olymics in Mexico.... Do any of them indicate who the artist was? SomeoneI know worked on the graphics for that Olympics and I'm curioius as to whether he did these.

7/4 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 That's some cool stuff! I used to collect books, but numerous moves (and marriage) have reduced my collection immensely. The only thing I could say that I collect is guitars. I have around 30 right now. I've had many more in the past, but the ones I have now are real keepers. It's funny, I went to the mega-chain guitar store this last weekend and spent three hours playing many of their guitars. I realized how much I loved my own guitars; none of the guitars I played (at the store) could hold a candle to them. Someday, I'll have room to keep them all together again. Right now, they're safely packed away in various family members closets. :rsmile: WTF! 30! I guess I have a collection of guitars/basses too, but not that many. I really only play a few of them, however I can't stand to part with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 WTF! 30! I guess I have a collection of guitars/basses too, but not that many. I really only play a few of them, however I can't stand to part with them. I can't get rid of some of mine either. The ones with sentimental value probably get played the least. My original Rickenbacker and Fender Stratocaster have been with me for close to 20 years and I could never get rid of them. I don't play them much anymore, but when I open their cases, it takes me back to being 20 and all the amazing places I played. I haven't performed or recorded for five years, but I play everyday. It's too hard for me with my family to be an active musician, but I'm going to make a comeback. I'll just call these the woodshed years. Brandon, I'm digging those Mexico '68 graphics. I love that kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Used condoms. I started collect them more than twenty years ago when I was a teenager. I put them in a plastic bag with the name of the girl written on it. I hope to get the second piece of my collection in the next few weeks.

scottb Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Along with my daughters, apparently I collect My Little Ponies and Barbies. My oldest is only 5 and I kid you not we have 30+ Barbies. I didn't think the Barbie stage came until later. If this isn't the Barbie stage yet, we're gonna be in trouble when it gets here. you gotta love SPARKLEWORKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Burke Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 medjuck: Dunno. Sometimes a seller, usually from Mexico, will include the name of the artist along with the item description. Doesn't particularly matter for me as I'm not familiar with any of them. couw: Those are nice. I'm beginning to think that I really should have been a graphic designer. I just can't get enough of that stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Books. Lots and lots of books. There aren't many authors I really "collect" any longer, but there are subjects such as jazz and gnosticism that I collect. . . . Books and cds literally surround me in my private areas (as opposed to common areas) at home. Books for me too! But not on gnosticism.

rachel Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) My oldest is only 5 and I kid you not we have 30+ Barbies. I didn't think the Barbie stage came until later. If this isn't the Barbie stage yet, we're gonna be in trouble when it gets here. Avatar Jennifer has a s-load of Barbies... Princess Analise Barbie; Swan Lake Barbie; Beach Bronzed Barbie (freakishly orange); rock and roll Barbie (with freakishly orange hair) as well as their many female sidekicks and accompanying 'surfer dude' guy barbies. She has 467 different outfits with about 900 pairs of tiny microscopic spike heel pumps for the 467 different outfits. Yet they lay around in a big heap of nakedness (except for the spike heel pumps) like they all are spent after a 3 day sex binge. They just look so pornographic. I found myself saying..."Jennifer, let's play dress up and try some different outfits on your Barbies!" and she said..."no thank you, Ra-Ra....I like them like this"... I shuddered as the words left my mouth... I know I recognized my voice, but the words just didn't sound like me. They sounded like something my grandmother would have said. Oy.....

Sundog Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Vintage beer steins/mugs. I also have this fascination with clocks of all types. Although, so far I've resisted the urge to collect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig23 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Like Lon, books... books on jazz, of course, old pulp paperbacks, and a long-running fetish for old Modern Libraries with the dustjackets still on them I collect books as well. I try to find Modern Library books (preferably with dustjackets). Have about 300 so far, and about 1500 more books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) My oldest is only 5 and I kid you not we have 30+ Barbies. I didn't think the Barbie stage came until later. If this isn't the Barbie stage yet, we're gonna be in trouble when it gets here. The whole Barbie as gift thing for young children is interesting. Most small children really don't have the manual dexterity required to easily manipulate some of the maddeningly small Barbie items let alone properly 'work' some of the tight shoes, boots, pants, etc. As a result, most kids get terribly frustrated....which is why zillions of nude dolls are strewn across playroom floors coast-to-coast! Adults who should know better (I've been guilty of this as well) buy these things by the boatload and it's the rare 2 or 3-year-old party that doesn't have 'Barbie' popping out of every other gift bag. Reason: they're cute....and it's easy. Most parents who've been running ragged all week and are veterans of the B'Day party circuit just want to reach for something that's a safe bet and get on with the rest of the weekend. IMO kids start giving/receiving Barbie way too early....it should start up around age 5......or even 6.

Jazzmoose Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I used to collect paperbacks, although my 'specialty' was Ace Doubles rather than Modern Library. Also used to collect comics (DCs from through the 10 cent cover price period, which lasted up to early '62, if I remember right). I still have the silly coin collection (U.S. only, mostly circulated stuff, but the obligatory proof sets as well). Main collecting thing now is used Danish stamps and covers (envelopes, if you aren't familiar with the term). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
