I collect rare nike and jordan shoes. All brand new with the intent to sale one day to help pay for my kids college fund. Here are a few pics of 1/4 my collection:

Wow!

For me, I dive....but as for collections....I have quite a collection of tiki mugs and some tiki art/stuff/furniture....small collection of booze & wine and a large collection of music. I'd also have to say I like to travel as much as I can but it's never enough.

I golf (badly), bowl (also badly), and I used to sing for a local metal band until our bass player offed himself, guitarist turned into a primadonna, and drummer bailed to join another band.
I also have a teaching license in Bujinkan Budo Tajutsu, a Japanese martial art, but I haven't trained much in the last couple of years.

I like to fish (having a lake in the backyard helps with that) and I love to drink wine and scotch and also cook. If I could make a living cooking, I would love it.

So many hobbies, so little time and money...

Sea kayaking is my biggest passion, I also like other outdoor sports like climbing, hiking and snowboarding.

Scotch is a big favourite. I like tasting, learning and drinking with friends.

MMA is my favourite spectator sport.

I like reading, especially fantasy and sci-fi.

Movies are great, especially love adult oriented animation.

Action/adventure and RPG PC games.

I've been away from it for a while, but I also like the strategy game Go/Igo/Wei-chi/Baduk. Beats the hell out of chess imo.

I have a large collection of Yankees Memoriabilia and baseball cards. All that has been packed away for a few years though since I have no where to display it. I will probably end up selling the collection off this year when the weather warms up.

Hey MedicCook, I have a baseball signed by the 1977 Yankees, Billy Martin and crew, I think they won the World Series that year, but it is getting faded.. any suggestions on keeping it from fading?

The easiest thing is to put it in something soft and put it away in a dark place. Any light that hits it is going to fade and yellow it. There are some products available that you can use to coat it in to try and preserve it but you have to becareful that they do not cause the signatures to bleed.

I would stay away from putting any coating on it. Put it in a ball cube, put it in a dark place such as a closet or a room with no windows.
