Collected Football cards as a kid until my jaw ached from chewing the gum , not only admiring the cards but used them to play a game with two small dictionaries as the goals with the keeper card propped up against the rest of cards were spread in formation over the carpet , rolled up silver foil as a ball the card was then used flick the ball goalwards , the card closest to the ball had the chance to kick it . If the goalkeeper was hit and fell down had to stay down for three kicks of the ball . I suppose its a very primitive subbuteo but great fun and we had leagues. I have always collected music all of which is stored in Pickfords store probably approaching 3000 CD's
I collected phone cards at one time. I still collect first day covers and some special edition stamps. I have a small collection of Casio Databank and

Telephones.
Computer components (I have CPU's / Memory / Motherboards / cables (you name it) and a truck and trailer load of stuff dating as far back as my 14400 Modem (1991) ) I just can't throw stuff away, I'm one of those who always think... "it may come in useful someday!"
I also collect blue and white china, though much more slowly now I'm on a pension!

What happened to the pictures of the wife and her sister?
Have to admit I do love a bit of blue and white china but him in doors has started making noise about all the crockery I collect especially as I moan about his little soldier people all over the blooming place.
I had a load of these years ago John, many were the Mercury cards
If you need any Sinclair spares, it is more than possible that Tony has some

It’s not too much around £80-£90 I think, I’m sure that’s less than what they cost £40 years ago !

I have shown my collection of ghetto blasters on another post before but on Saturday I bought this 1952 Bakelite radio for £2 at a boot sale mainly for the reason the make is my surname , missing the extra M but you can’t have everything.
It had a crack on the front that I have filled and I’m now looking for a suitable colour to paint over it. The Bakelite has come up quite well with a polish.
