OT/ Other Collecting Interest
Posted By: Jon Canfield
I try to do a lot of traveling while I'm "young" and don't have all of the other commitments I will have in the future that may prevent me from traveling. However, I was never much of a souvenir hunter. So, about 10 years ago, I started collecting a Hard Rock Café guitar shaped pin from every place I traveled (assuming there was a Hard Rock Café there). I recently picked up my 50th while in China. Some of my more interesting ones are Dubai, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing (just to name a few). I also stumbled across one from Pisa Italy while there, but the funny thing is – there isn’t a Hard Rock Café in Pisa. A local merchant had the pins made up to sell. |

I'm own a collection of original fashion photographs, and wrote a small out-of-print book on the subject with a Vogue photographer (actually, I wrote the text, he supplied the photos). |

I collect first edition Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Books". I only try to get ones with original unaltered dust jackets. There were 16 printings and some can be quite scarce. I'm considering old baseball books as an additional collection and I've been getting some good knowledge from watching this site. Not ready to take the plunge yet though. |

Brian - thanks for the compliments. The green beauty is actually a TR2 - 1954 TR2 to be exact. It has a very early chasis number and is slightly different than most TR2's. Was about a 5.5 year ground up restoration. Car took a National first though, and then Best of Show at the Canadian Nationals. |

Ken, I understand there will be a lock of Sarah Bernhardt's hair going up for sale soon that originates from her manager's estate auction back in the 1930s. It was in a list of sale items one of my favorite eBay sellers emailed me a while back. Let me know if you want their email address and I'll forward it to you. |

Ken, not sure how to authenticate such a thing? Perhaps through DNA somehow? Since it is supposed to have originated from the largest collection of famous people's hair ever, that would bode well for it along with a certificate signed by the man who bought it in the 1930s. Something else I find interesting is that Upper Deck appears to be buying up all of the locks of hair from the few major collections that exist. They have already produced a number of insert cards and some are on eBay right now (Allen & Ginter 1 of 1 hair insert cards) going for ridiculous sums of money....Washington, Lincoln etc. |

Jay, your right Magor Matt Mason was a cool line of toys. A little late for my childhood but have bought and sold quite a few pieces over the years. If I remeber right he had a couple other sidekicks, a Lady Astronaut and a Villian. Had some cool vehicles and playsets also. Another late 60's toy line that was cool was Captain Action. He had alot of Outfits you could buy for him. Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, Tonto, Superman, Robin, Batman, Steve canyon etc. He had a villian also. |
