Default Why do we collect?

Posted By: Bill Stone

Growing up in the early 50s in California every summer we would travel by car to visit grandparents in Kentucky --I started collecting travel decals on these trips --the older I got the more I enjoyed the more risque ( by 1954 standards!) group of Miss America pin up decals --over the years I acquired every state except CT, Delaware , Mississippi,Rhode Island and New Hampshire --I still don't know if they made them but after 50 years I am still looking --and each time I search I am reminded of those wonderful days growing up. Baseball cards and travel decals seem to evoke more memories for me than coins and stamps but I love collecting !
