Anyone else collect old or random stuff?

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

I used to collect little metal spoons from everywhere I traveled as a kid. I think I still have them all in a box somewhere. Sports cards was the big thing for me as a kid, I know I have every bit of 700,000 card in totes still, if not more. It just sucks that the market on those things tanked out, I was sitting on a fortune as a kid haha.

 

My wagon obsession is getting a little out of control, although some of them I have purchased with plans of modifying/selling to family and friends. Others I am just hoarding as you don't see them very often. I don't like collecting just run of the mill Radio Flyers, I look for things like Radio Jets, Murrays, AMF, ect... Just the random wagons that were produced through out the years.

When I was a kid in New England we used to go to the top of this gigantic hill and race wagons down. We never modded them but holy SHIT I would've rocked the hell out of that green one.

 

I still remember careening headlong into a tree because the little plastic "tires" came flying off the wheels once and I had 0 traction.

I have not collected in years but when I did I collected old keys,pocket knives,old pottery,comics,hot wheels and kitchen related items.

The green one is what started my obsession with them. I built it for my son last year, and from there it's just snow balled. I had 10 wagons, sold them and then thought, damn I kinda wanna start collecting again.

I kept most of my hot wheels, Legos and GI Joes from the early and mid 80s. It's great seeing my kids play with the old and new stuff together. Every once in a while I will pick up old stuff at garage sales but I (we) have 3 foot lockers full of GI joes, several hundred hot wheels, and bins of Legos.
