I love coins and used to buy and sell them (still do sometimes). I had three stamp albums that used to belong to my grandfather and came home one day to find them gone. When I asked my mother, she told me that she gave them to one of our neighbour kids, because I never 'did' anything with it. WTH was I supposed to do with them besides adding new ones? I know that those people were probably laughing their asses of, because the value of those books would easily be about $20,000 if not much more. (My mom was one of those who'd throw out money and not know it) I also used to collect X-Men comic books. Had about 300 of them, when I had to store them at a friends place for a few months. When I went to collect them, they discovered they'd had a leak in the shop above their storage room and everything was still fine, except my boxes with comics.....I gave up then. (cried for weeks lol) But getting into X-Men again now that my kids get to that age, and I also recently started collecting The Walking dead graphic novels.
