Re: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
I now collect data, filling my hard drive and dotting my GIS landscapes. Now, what separates a collector from a sampler? research and synthesis? the ascription of some sort of market value? I sample from sites I study, but I do not own anything that I have collected. If at all, a collection in some sense has somehow accumulated: musical recordings and instruments that I use - and only what I use. This is not necessarily a collection. If anything can be called something I actively collect, at least like I did as a kid and teen, I would include volcanic materials and other natural things picked up as I need for archaeological reference. I have some examples '20s - '50s Soviet stuff (decorations, flags, publications, as well as a research collection of books related to Socialism - theoretical, aesthetico-ideological, historical) and medieval European/Islamic coins, but my interest in further acquisitions died long ago. These things will be inherited by my descendants if not donated to universities or libraries. I haven't purchased a meteorite in over 16 mo. , but I will keep my Russian specimens, as well as single class representatives for comparative purposes. Compare collecting to any detrimental addictive pattern if respect for the importance of any single specimen/configuration and money are lacking - and space. I will be listing most of my collection ( 85 specimens) as soon as I can. Prices will be good. -Thaddeus Gary K. Foote [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting you should say that.

Hello Gary and all. I started with meteorites that I had found and then I started to buy some and so on. My collecting has now spilled over into Gold, some of which I have found. But I have also bought and traded for some of it. Then I found myself acquiring knives, it started with a Gibeon knife then a Campo knife. Now I have a couple regular knives in my display cabinet. Then I noticed some really cool cabs made from interesting rocks and I have started a small collection of different cabs and rock specimens. I also do a lot of metal detecting so I find some interesting junk (I call them treasures) so I also have a collection of rusty cans nails and other interesting items that have been dug up or found in old junk piles.

Soon my house was filling up with rocks of all sizes, shapes and structures. So much for only collecting calcite! Then, to my dismay, someone showed me a fossil.

Re: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
I started collecting stamps and seashells when I was a small kid. Then when I was 12 a friend of my father (a micromounter of minerals) gave me my first fossils and minerals. I was amazed with the fossil seashells and ammonites, as one of my most loved seashells were the nautilus. For several years fossils were my main interest, then I turned to both minerals and fossils. I also like archeology. For the last 20 years Ive been trying to get some representative items of worldwide different cultures. And about 12 years ago I discovered the meteorites. My seashell collection is still at my parents house, but did not add anything in the last 25 years. Stamps collecting was dropped several years ago (except for some related with minerals, fossils, meteorites and mineral collecting/deposits/mining I like). I have a cabinet with about 300 archealogy pieces (rarely add something new here). And now my three main collecting areas are: Minerals, Fossils and Meteorites Lets start with Minerals: I have over 11000 Micromounts with about 2500 different species, a fluorescent collection of 300 specimens with over 150 different minerals, and another 2000 specimens displayed in 12 cabinets including one with about 150 different pseudomorphs. I especially like Sulfides, Fluorites and the Phosphate / Arseniante / Vanadate group. About fossils, I have 7 cabinets with over 600 fossils, and lots of drawers, totaling about 1500 more fossil remains, especially cephalopods (amonites, nautilus, etc). And finally my most recent collection: Meteorites. In the beginning they were included in my mineral collection, and about 6 years ago I start building a separated collection which now consist of about 340 meteorites, with over 300 different ones including 100 different falls and 100 different not sahara/dag/nwa finds. I have them in 3 cabinets in a humidity controlled room. Eduardo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary K.

Re: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
I used to collect stamps, (in general), but since around 1980, I collect only stamps that are thematic to Astronomy and Space Exploration; I have a large collection of the Sky Telescope magazine, since 1965 (some nºs are missing, unfortunately); I am also interested in books on Astronomy and in books related to both Portuguese and Spanish sea discoveries of the 15th and 16th Centuries; as well as ancient Maps; and military uniforms and badges; and minerals and fossils and of course, meteorites (not that many, yet...) - as against my wife's, who collects coins and tea-pots!

Hi All, This is an interesting thread. In addition to meteorites, I collect books on meteorites, tektites, the manned space program, catholic prayer books, local history, and the sciences. I collect family history (genealogy), woodworking tools, guns, catholic rosaries and medals. If I had space and the appropriate budget I would also collect flown Apollo Program materials.

Hi, 1.) Vintage and handmade acoustic guitars. At the last census, the population figure was 52, a diverse society which includes guitars made entirely of metal and guitars made entirely of banjo (a few). Happiest to have found a good home is the personal guitar of the late George Rose, who played (in the day) with Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Benny Goodman, and lots of other cats. 2.) 16-, 32-, and 64-bit (1986-1995) Atari computers (14), software and devices (tons), 1600 floppy discs and ~100 old small hard drives. (What do you do with YOUR basement?) I was an Atari software developer for ten years; that's how The Atari Museum started. 3.) Books, books, books. Can't count that high. Maybe 4,000; maybe double that. Oldest book by publication: from 1620. Started saving books when I was seven. Lots of sub-sub-collections in there. Some would say too many. 4.) Junk of all kinds. I was also an antique dealer for ten years and always snatching up the odd find: silver, furniture, china, glass, old scientific equipment, Japanese art... OK, let's face it -- I'm not a collector, just a packrat. I even sold meteorites (NWA 267) in my antique store (what's older than that?) Having just read Bill's recent post, all I can ask is: where were you when I was selling antiques? You sound like a one-man customer base! At one time or another, I have sold every item on that list of yours. 5.) Meteorites and tektites, of course... Sterling K. Webb --- - Original Message - From: Gary K.

Another packrat here. I've collected a little bit of everything (it seems like) over the years. Fossils-- especially ammonites and trilobites (I have an inordinate fondness of Flexicalymene sp. trilobites from around Ohio-- I have dozens of them) and large shark teeth. Other minerals to some extent. Banknotes and coins. DVDs and books. Photons (like someone else mentioned). Seashells.

Re: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
Hello all, I have always been a collector and usually end up going off the deep end in various items. Stamp collectors use the term study to justify purchasing vast accounts of pretty much the same item. I guess I study a lot of things. Things that I am somewhat actively collecting include: War Letters, mostly WWII but have various letters from the Civil War up to Desert Storm. Have no current war letters if anyone has family members active...;^) US Stamps, have about 95% of all of commemoratives and defintives (and their major variations), a good share of the back of books and am running out of stamps that I don't have and are within a price I am willing to pay. Various other sub-collections, like Air Mail First Day Covers (FDC) and programs (preferred signed). US Coins, have about 95% of all of them and again, running out of ones that I don't have and are within a price I am willing to pay. Have not bought any for myself for about a year, mostly just rolls of proof coins and the like for ebay. PSA graded sport cards: Third party grading has always been a good thing, but now they have an online registry that allows you to compare your collections with others and compete for award certificates. Its a way to spend $10 on a card worth $0.25 if not graded. I also have a collection of about 1200 different Steve Young football cards, with about 100 different game used cards. Years ago I use to deal in cards and made about $100 a week as an early teenager which seemed like a lot more money then. Meteorites. Subcollections meteorite pamphlets, toys, books and publications. If anyone has any meteorite pamphlets or will be making at any time I would like one. Mad Magazine and Cracked Magazine Original Art...along with the related printing overlays and printing note cards, most of which are no longer done as Mad and Cracked are finished on computers now. Most purchased from the artist and usually for just about nothing. Space related items: Astronaut autographs and letters, NASA flown hardware. The strangest thing I bought along this line was one of the X-Prize space rockets.this taught me the valuable lesson I like to joke about, Space rockets do not fit through doorways. I have a quite a bit of minerals, fossils (most dinosaur) and petrified wood as well, but dont really actively collect these items.

[meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
This has been a fun thread to watch. When I started selling meteorites I decided not to allow myself to collect them and so for years I didn't but I still collected other things in fact I picked up a couple of other lines of collectables to compensate for the denial in meteorite collecting. So I collect antiquarian books on North American Indian Tribes, Ethnology and Artifacts specializing in the Northwest U.S.,also books onEgyptology, Paleontology, Geology, Mineralogy, Petrology, Art, signed first edition classics and last but not least Meteoritics. In the library there are over 10,000 books and over 700 on meteoritics. The oldest books are: M. Michaele Stanhuf - 'De Meteoris Libro' from 1578, 489 pages;Joannis Jioviani Pontani - 'Ni Liber De Meteoris' from 1539, 236 pages;Johannes Outzen Bjorn - 'Aerolithorum' from 1816, 88 pages; and D. Carl Von Schreibers - 'Meteorites of Stone And Metal' from 1820, 92 pages. Many of you know that D. Carl Von Schreibers was the name sake of Schreibersite. In addition, the house is full of art, the cellar is stocked with ancient wine (some over 200 years old) and the vault contains a collection of over 1000 thin sections. Inthis businessI have learned that many of the most obsessed collectors become dealers in whatever they collect and trade. I believe that the most effective and compassionate dealer is one who understands the passion with which his or her clients covet their own collections. In my travels I have been honored with many visits to collector's homes. Many of these homes rival world class museums. I have clients with massive collections (in addition to meteorites) ofrace cars, antique surfboards, suits of armor, terra cotta soldiers from China, death masks, Egyptian sarcophagi, antique microscopes, Leonardo Da Vinci relics, artand instruments, human skeletons, mummies, rare oddities like two headed calves and two headed snakes, Maria pottery, Suiseki stones, magnets, antique telescopes, antique binoculars, insects. One client has a collection of Zulu Warrior shields from the Zulu/Boar Wars andanotheroneowns the largest Pez dispenser collection in the World.There are some really amazing collections out there.

Re: [meteorite-list] What else do you collect?
Good grief! Where do you all house such huge collections? or collections of collections, in some cases? Or do you have a warehouse in your backyards??? I limit myself to minerals, but I have 500-600 specimens and they are all over the house. And I agree with Anita, I love fluorite, such great colors! I have about 200 of them. And yes, Tracy, I do have a couple specimens of sphene. And, well, I also have a couple thousand books, mostly archaeology and history, and lots of maps. And about 50 small cats carved in all kinds of minerals, and bought all over the place. One of my latest acquisitions was an amber-cat. Does that count as a collection too? Goodnight. Anne M.

I just took a couple of quick photos of some of my best (in terms of size, shape, color, condition, or any of the above) larger (and some smaller) shark teeth.

Mike - I've always been a knife freak and have looked at the meteorite knives on ebay with some interest. I haven't bought one yet, but I likely will soon. I also collect cabs in many varieties. My favorite is turquoise, but lots of other things interest me. I have a Brazilian Geode Enhydro that is just fantastic. I also have samples of pure silica, petrified wood, impactites of many kinds, amber, volcanic melts and more. I find my collection is more satisfying to me if it is diverse.

[meteorite-list] What else do you collect??
Hi list.Through out my life I have collected alot of things.When I was young i loved fossils and minerals.When I got older I collected comic books,mostly from the golden age (1938 to 1950).As I got even older I started collecting coins,which I have a nice collection.My prized piece is a 1909-S VDB wheat penny.Then as I got older meteorites entered my life so then I started collecting them.My prized piece,an 88.6 gram slice of HAH 237.This is an interesting thread.Lets keep this going. steve Steve R.Arnold,chicago,Ill,Usa!!
