Do you collect stuff?
Is that something only guys do? I guess my mom collected stupid tiny spoons from places she visited as well as salt and pepper shakers. My dad didn't collect anything, but he was consumed with his business so he barely had time to do anything else.
I started with comics and hockey cards, but regretably sold most of it all in my 20s when I had no money. Then, after I inherited lots of money, I collected old jazz LPS from the 1950s and 60s, and 78s from the 1920s and early 30s. I still have all that, but stopped buying new stuff in the 1990s. I never touch it anymore and just listen to Spotify, but I'm glad I own it. I have an Edison gramophone to play the 78s. I considered collecting gramophones for a while but I only ever bought the one.
Now I collect old newspaper comic original art. I started with Gasoline Alley, because I love the original artist Frank King's work very, very much. I look for bargains and I often pay more to frame them than I do to buy them. But most don't get framed and are just filed away, although I do like to pull them out often and look at them. The close-up details of the artwork and the notes for printing on the back, etc., are fascinating to me.
I considered buying jazz ephemera---old handbills from shows, etc.---and advertising, but I don't like the idea of potentially buying fakes. At least with original art, you know it's real. With newspaper strips, you can even compare it to the printed version to see that it's authentic.
Once I start feeling old and mortal, I might start selling it off but that is hopefully a long way off. I just fear my kids will do with it what I did with my mom's spoons.
