WHAT ODD THING DO YOU COLLECT?

With the economy still shaky and investors’ faith in the stock market unsettled, many people have invested their money in alternatives like gold and other precious metals. But there are those few of us who collect odd things that we think will be worth more down the road, things destined to be sold on Ebay. For example, Men’s Health magazine once had a survey which said three out of four guys still have their baseball cards and think they’ll be worth something someday.

This brings up the topic, “What Is The Oddest Thing You Collect?” Solicit stories of people who collect things like sports memorabilia, toys, or other non-traditional investment items and look for the single oddest one to use as resolution to this idea.
