    Movies, classic movies, in particular

    Really not much else. I sort of dabble in a lot of things, but nothing too in depth.

        Vinyl Records
        -I don't consider myself a collector, but I do buy 4 or 5 every month and I do prefer to get original releases. Collector-adjacent, maybe?

        Movies
        -My wife and I go to the movies almost every weekend. Pre-COVID, we might even go twice a weekend.

        Soccer
        -as a kid I remember the only place I could watch soccer was in highlight form on a PBS show called Soccer Made in Germany. I can't believe I still don't have a Beckenbauer in my collection I even became a Leeds Utd follower after I saw their cool logo on Steve Goalgetter!

        Travel
        -The bug bit me on my first trip abroad when a kid ran up to his parents speaking French. I was like, "That's so cool, the signs are in French and Dutch. I'm paying with change! This candy bar is in French!" "It's just a Kit Kat." "No, it's LE Kit Kat!"
        WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

            I don’t collect Megos anymore. I’m into Alien, Predator, and Terminator collectibles now. Anything from statues, props, models, customs, posters, and some Hot Toys. I’m also into trail hiking. Been to many regional parks and a few national parks. Yosemite is my favorite. Love movies of course, all kinds. I’m into good series too. My love for boxing has greatly decreased though, don’t watch it much nowadays. I mean, it’s not dead per say, but seems to be on life support. When YouTuber Jake Paul creates more buzz than pro fighters, that right there tells you something. MMA is now much more popular. But I don’t watch much UFC either. I’m a big Niners fan to the core. Raiders still hold a place in me, even though they moved from my city to Las Vegas, but I prefer the Niners. Golden State fan too. Not a Giants or A’s fan, I don’t follow baseball. Watching some World Cup. GO USA! Mexico doesn’t look great, they will probably fail to go to the next round. My other favorite team is Japan. GO BLUE SAMURAIS! Spain looks awesome, watch out for them. Brazil looks great too. Argentina is coming alive. Portugal is dangerous. Don’t forget England and France. Germany is a shell of its former self though, but at least they made the World Cup unlike Italy, ouch. I also build and paint model kits. Just finished an Alien Big Chap. I have a small art room full of airbrush equipment and tons of airbrush paints. Just finished remodeling my backyard, phew! And to end this post, good food, yeah…self-proclaimed foodie here. Love to cook and love to eat out as well. Cheers!

              I have several inexpensive ones in foulard patterns, but my favorite is an Italian silk one that's truly Mod. I'll see about pix.

                Well, if you're into vintage fashion, Mikey's got a dickey....but I don't think you want pictures.

                    Collecting NFL…especially Dallas Cowboys TV game broadcast’s. I started recording Cowboys games in 92, and started tape/dvd trading around 20 years ago. I have games going back to the sixties now.

                      THANKS! It's gonna take a team of therapists to help me through the mental image you just conjured for me!!

                        That is a fascinating hobby! You should randomly post some of them on YouTube. Along with being a Cowboys fan, I'd love to look at the production values over the years. Do they include commercials! That would be the real cherry on top!

                        There was a woman in my hometown (Philadelphia) who recorded TV 24 hours a day for over 30 years!
