Hi Steve from Arkansas who celebrates his birthday in Tuscon with New York Geoff not Cintron Notkin...who takes nice pictures of cat-like meteorites,
It is simple, off the wall collecting just takes a little off the wall thinking. Some are better at it than others. I wanted to add a couple more collector's trends to your list. Let's not forget Bessey Specks, dog and cow killers, and all those meteorites sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Hey, there is a thought...the final meteorite hunter frontier.
