Anyone Collect Things

  As a kid I collected sports cards. I think I have between 10,000-15,000. Not too bad for only a few years of collecting as a kid. I have always wondered how much I could get for them as I have some rare and valuable cards. I know the sports cards aren't worth as much as they used to be. Mostly from the 80's and 90's, but some from the 60's and 70's as well.
  
  Other than cards, I collect boxes of matches from different bars/restaurants/clubs I go to in different cities. I am not much of a collector though since I hate clutter and collecting things always makes me feel cluttered.

  Nice Sykotyk!
  
  I am actually in a "job" I like. It's not quite a full-time gig yet, but hope to be in the near future. It allows me to do what you are doing.
  
  I'd rather travel to watch soccer games though. I've been to a lot of places to watch games, more college and pro though. I will end up catching several high school and club games though. It also allows me to travel overseas and watch games too...which I love to do. This also helps fuel my collection of scarves and jerseys. And while I travel to these games and see the attractions, I get to choose my favorite places to eat at...would much rather go to a mom and pop diner than a fast-food joint or Applebees.

  I collected for years Architecturial Cover Sheets of Sport Stadiums I lost most of them in a warehous fire a few years ago I still have Mich, ND, Ohio State, Yankee Stadium, Browns, Nevis Field Because of the field i was in years ago it was eazy to duplicate those sheets and many times the project i was working on let me have access to the drawings.
  
  I also collect Horse Brass (Harness Brass)

  Very nice. I'm the same way when it comes to chain restaurants. Give me a mom-n-pop restaurant any day. At least the food has local/regional variation to it. I'd love to be able to travel around Europe.
  
  As for soccer, I'm a big fan, but it's easily #2 on my sports fandom. Love the Crew, and I follow Nottingham Forest in England (yeah, bad years all around with them). I've seen the Crew play in Columbus (obviously), Kansas City (KS), Commerce City (CO), Salt Lake City (UT) and Frisco (TX). Also seen a few non-Crew games at Dicks Sporting Goods Park when I'm in Denver. Haven't seen the Crew play at Rio Tinto yet, but did see a game at Rice-Eccles stadium (a bad loss). Saw the MLS All-Star Game at Rio Tinto two years ago. Saw Chelsea-AS Roma at Heinz Field back in '03 or '04. Would love to see some games in Europe. But, that trip is for a little later when I really have a lot of money to go all-out for a nice one or two-month trip. I spend too much on sports in the U.S. to contemplate that.

  Answer the question or I'm just going to assume you're a contract killer.
