Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Somehow I don't feel so bad about Janey's Tinkerbell collection anymore!

Car models, 1/43 and 1/87 scale. Mostly USSR cars. Of course, that's not all i have, just some of my favourite ones.

Those are cool, Sheena!

Dust. So far I haven't collected it on myself because I've managed to stay one step ahead of it.

This may be hard to believe but I collect serial numbers and photographs of Rickenbacker instruments.

You're in luck! There are tons in the register!

Why do miniature models come in such strange scales?

1:32, 1:43. 1:48, 1:72, 1:87, etc...

Why not simply 1:25, 1:50, 1:75, 1:100* and 1:150?

*Note: I realise 1:100 is occassionally used for model planes, but mostly it's either 1:72 or 1:144 for the small aircraft models.

Paging Paul Boyer!

Beatles records. Although I haven't been adding to my colloection for several years now, I have about 500 Beatles albums (gtoup and solo). Probably about as many 45s.

Every day she makes a new one.If she keeps making them,pretty soon we will end up on that TV show "Hoarders"

I don't collect stuff so much as I rarely sell anything.
