I read in a antiques book years ago that if you have as many as 7 of anything you are a collector, don't know that I subscribe to this or not but found these moneyclips yestiddy while looking for something else.

Actually just kidding. I was looking for a couple of rings that wasn't lost and the clips were in there but I'd forgotten that I even had them, so it was a fun find and of course the ones that are Sterling needed some Blue Magic. ::handshake::

Good thing the magic number is 7, otherwise I might be collecting kids I have 5 of them more than enough.
My younger brother has 7?

Interesting pics, David. I would guess that the "skinny" one is your earliest example?

I put pictures of most of my collection of bikes a few pages back, but this one got a little touch up work and a few replacement parts, keeping the origional parts so I could bring it back to original maybe some day._It's a vintage Elgin Twin Bar 26 inch.___Dave

Beautiful bike DJ. Edge213 you are the only one I know of that collects fire hydrants, very cool.

I've collected a few guitars over the years. Don't really play electrics much anymore with exception of bass every now and then.

Got into hockey cards a year and a half ago.
Connor Hellebuyck is my favorite player. Have his rookie in grade 9 PSA, and a Beckett 9.5 rookie champs jersey.
It doesn't hurt that He's a Presidents, William M. Jennings, Venza, and Hart winner.
