I think that's it.

What kinds of coins?

The only comics I ever bought and read were the GI Joe ones in the early eighties. There was one that was crammed to the gills with Destro, Snake Eyes and ninjas and had no text. I really wish I still had it.

A bunch of years ago I found my childhood coin collection books and brought them up to date. So 1940-present worthless stuff.

I have just about every Deadpool comic ever made and could totally cash in right now but then I wouldn't own them anymore. I have issues.

Why can't people just be like:
"Comic books op! I collect comic books and blah blah blah.". ???

I used to have a massive, complete collection of Marvel books from the late 70s to early 90s as well as DC books from 92-2001. I ended up selling them in 2003 because I was tired of loving carrying those boxes every time I moved.

I also had a pretty complete collection of Star Wars figures that I sold in 1994 for rent money.

Geodes are the best. I do have a good semi precious stone collection from stones I've found myself. Lots of tourmaline and quartz.

I used to collect guns, but have shifted to instruments. I wish I had cheaper interests.

I converted my collection into digital form so that I don't care about it or me it anything at all any more and just stare into space in a stupor until my dick leaks one of two fluids and then I go blurblubuvluvb and my eyes blink a little and I clean up with paper towels and have a lemon candy and slowly drift back into the zone.

Grandpa had a Henry rifle with documentation of every sale going back to Sitting Bull (I think it was Sitting Bull, it may have been another really famous chief), who was the original owner, which a museum made an offer on after he died but which a private collector paid a lot more for. He had a bunch of other nice old west weapons, some with ammo, but that was the crown jewel as far as I'm concerned.
