Collecting

One of my hobbies is to collect. I don't know why but I love to collect different things. I guess you can say Im like a pack rat. So here area  few of my collections.

 I have a small stamp collection. The stamp collection was started by my moms younger brother. He passed away but my mom saved his stamp collection. I guess I liked it so much I continued it and just kept it. Haven't been getting any stamps lately (who the heck send out mail now a days) if i ever do get mail its already pre paid by the company and theirs no stamp on it. And I don't want to buy them either.

Another thing I collect is coins. Foreign and U.S coins. I don't have much in this collection. I started with the 50 state quarters that was issued in 1999. This is when they released 5 coins a year for 10 years so you can get all 50 states. Yes I waited 10 year to finish this collection. For my foreign currency, I only have a few countries that ive been to/my mom has been to like Taiwan and Europe. So its not that big, but as I travel I will get more.

I also collect a few childish things. Dont laugh now. But I got a nice collection San Francisco Giants Bobbleheads and Memorabilia Collection. Most of them are SGA (Stadium Give Aways) that are only 20,000 made (well thats what they say..) This one is harder to get cause people are always selling these for like $30 - $50 depending on how rare they are and when they were released. I got a good collection going, I got around 14 - 15 already. My goal is to get a display case and display all my bobbles and signed balls and pictures and whatnot. A display case for the Giants haha.

And finally, my last collection, and something that I just started. Pokemon Cards. Yes you read that right, Pokemon Cards. Why you may ask? Cause I loved Pokemon when I was a child. So I wanted to restart my collection (since I sold it a while ago) just to relive my childhood. And its cheaper. I just bought like a whole mess of Pokemon cards for like $20 off Ebay. Ill let you know when its done! (Note: I'm only collecting the first 150 Pokemon, not like other 5304802938402980 Pokemon they got out now.)
