Störtebeker Bernstein Weizen limited edition* glass with nice gold emblem....

The sight of that has me weeping with joy. Were I not a strong man, I might buckle under and decide to trade you my one-of-a-kind AfricaBrass deluxe waffle with image of Jesus sitting next to Horace Silver on a park bench for it.

Old pre-WWII archtop guitars....

It took me awhile to admit it, but its a collection......

But I spend a lot of time playing them....latecomer to the guitar, trying to make up for lost time.

Its why I don't contribute much to the discussion around here....don't buy so much music anymore and just sit for hours fooling with these guitars.

Ah well.....keeps me occupied and in denial.

I used to collect many things:

Jazz LPs

Jazz CDs

Science Fiction and Phantastic Fiction books

Hand Drums

but I stopped the completist aspect of it entirely - too frustrating, too expensive.

One day I sold the Science Fiction etc. books.

Right now I try to complete my collection only of a few musicians/authors/film directors that I really love:

Melvin Rhyne

Lucky Thompson

Cal Tjader

Walerian Borowczyk

Julien Gracq

It's all a question of funding, in the end ...

The next thing I will complete is the complete Babylon 5 TV series on DVD, available at budget price at some retailer here. One box a month ... :rolleyes:

Collected the Kenner Star Wars figurines produced soon after the movie(s) were released - still have some but quite a few have gone missing.

Also used to collect those wonderful Aussie stamps but the humidity started causing browning on them and that killed my desire to collect/buy any more. :angry::(

That's cool!

I find I'm much happier not being a completist with anything.

I have many books - around 2500 with 2/3 being academic and/or work related

A small but growing DVD collection, split mostly between film noir, British comedy and SF movies

Pretty much anything Futurama related (the DVDs, the comics, the coasts and holiday ornaments and even a wind-up walking Bender! :rhappy::rhappy: )
