Too many things!!!

And the skiing stuff is on the lower end of the cost scale :eek:

At least SIX other things going on in earnest.

I actuall collect logo balls from golf courses I have played over the years. There got to be too many for the display rack and haven't got around to building a bigger one.

For a while I collected ski area pins... most of these are from the 90’s; I haven’t bought a new one in forever now.

I was a fairly avid stamp collector at one point— that hobby hit a boom in the 80’s. Relatives living in Europe helped me amass a decent international selection. I haven’t looked at it in decades though; doubt it’s worth anything.

Took a look at my "good" jeans that have been getting no love in isolation days. 501s, Vans, Guess, and just for laughs a pair of those stupid 90s Menace ridiculous fat jeans.

Without realizing it, I started collecting sample size bottles.

I guess it is the results of a good house cleaning.

When I'm at a ski area and see free pens with the ski area logo laying around the ticket office or cafeteria I will often grab one. I must have 20-30 of them now, but they are scattered all over in multiple drawers/rooms/houses/cars. It would be hard to amass them in one spot for a group photo, but almost everyday all year long I come across a pen with a ski area name on it...and as Marie Kondo might say, "it brings me a spark of joy!" :ogbiggrin:

When I was in high school I started collecting comic books. I had some really valuable ones that were hard to find (best was "Magnus Robot Fighter," No. 2. I can't even find it online.). When I was away working at a summer camp my mom decided to throw out a bunch of stuff from my room, and out went the comics. I still have problems with that, and it was almost 50 years ago.
