did collect books for some time. Just got rid of my 20th century american lit collection to meet fire marshall's requirements, keeping only Tony Hillerman, John Steinbeck, Upton sinclair and (Hello) Steven King. Also started a topical Indian head chip collection, but when that got slow, expanded to other numismatic venues, coins, medal tokens, military payment certificates, etc. interesting. Used to collect persian coins, from achaemenid through present.
