Other than Books, What do you Collect?

Amazing! Cover art for Uriah Heep's DEMONS AND WIZARDS, right?

Yes we are an odd group, aren't we?

Very nice -- and another Triumph to boot! :-)

Triumph riders who collect small-press horror...we're a niche within a niche within a niche!

I collect miles on my motorcycle. I used to have a decent collection of handguns, but most were sold to buy the cycle.

Well you can use them for bookends.

That's a good idea

Thanks Martin, I just wish they were as easy as books to display.

Hell no it's not worth it! If I'm not watching matches of the game I play I'm pretty much streaming Netflix.

There's a bunch of Blu-ray in there, probably no more than 1/4, but it's freakin' hard to get rid of them in this age of all digital purchases being licenses instead of ownership unless you're willing to hack the files, which voids your license. I've considered ripping them all but it's a mountain of work. Might be the best option, though.

I don't know how the whole oxidation thing is going to play out on the DVD's either. It's my industry, so I'm probably positioned ok to handle it if there's an issue. Warner did something cool a few years back where you could send them a WB DVD and a couple of bucks and they'd send you the corresponding Blu-ray, which I did for a good number.

But no, in the constantly evolving world of Home Video, this I do not recommend.

My wife and I used to have one almost that big, but after making the jump to HDTVs and Bluray, we looked at the cost of upgrading even a portion of our collection and decided that it wasn't worth it to us and ended up selling/trading in a bunch.

There's actually a large variety of those things!

I also collect rubber devil ducks, but mostly books
