Dad’s (Now My) Collection Of Microphone Cozies
My dad was in broadcasting, through the 80s and 90s he was likely responsible for the satellite connections for a ton of the live news and sports you watched on TV. He had a very impressive collection of microphone cozies detailing his career displayed prominently in his office. When he moved to a retirement home he culled the collection, these are the ones he held onto. I got them after he passed earlier this year and I just put them up on the shelf.

My Collection Of Vintage Display Tubes
That’s all what I yam 1 week ago (edited)
Back in the mid 1960s, I remember buying for a few dollars an old RCA console radio that didn't work. I pulled all of the vacuum tubes out, brought them in a paper bag to a local department store, tested each one, and found one that didn't work. I replaced it and used it for years. Wished I kept it.

My Landsnail Collection
trollingergirl 1 week ago (edited)
Love those. I think some of them are Schnirkelschnecken... Sieben kecke Schnirkelschnecken saßen einst auf einem Stecken, machten dort auf ihrem Sitze kecke Schnirkelschneckenwitze. Lachten alle so: „Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!“ Doch vor lauter Ho-ho-Lachen, Schnirkelschneckenwitze-Machen, fielen sie von ihrem Stecken: alle sieben Schnirkelschnecken. Liegen alle da. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

That’s all what I yam 1 week ago
I bought a Mac SE back in 1989. It had a single floppy drive and a 20 Mb hard drive. I was thinking about replacing the 20 Mb drive with an 80 Mb drive, but a buddy of mine talked me out of it saying, "What are you going to do with 80 Mb? : - )

Vintage LEGO Collection From Childhood / 1990s
Lyone Fein 1 week ago
I grew up with a small and simple Lego set in the 1960s. It was all blocks. I loved it so much. When they started coming out with little people, and then actual themed sets, I could never understand the appeal. I always loved creating my own original designs.

Almost My Entire Collection Of 50 Years Of Gaming In A Single Shot
Lifetime Gamer Here. I'm pretty excited that I can finally get all my great gaming goodness out of storage and start unpacking it. 5 Decades of my personal collection in a single shot. 50 Years Of Gaming, if anyone is interested.
Just more backstory. My kids have moved out and gone to college. I now have a spare room to make a gaming room. I moved everything out of storage and put it in my living room so I can sort it all out and get everything organized in my new gaming room. I even have a YouTube channel called "50 Years Of Gaming" if you want to see an up-close, quick video.

Does it count as a collection if I handmade everything? I have a steadily growing collection of square bookmarks that I hand painted with acrylic paint and a minuscule brush. They’re all of album covers of artists I like. https://i.ibb.co/9H2...jp/IMG-1774.jpg
