Getting It Together Strolling up and down the make- shift aisles at the garage sale, you are surrounded by thousands of old baseball cards and other memorabilia. It all reminds you of the baseball cards you collected when you were six. You hurry home and search through the attic for your favorite Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle cards. After two hours, you find them and figure that they are worth ten times as much as they were the day you pulled them from their wrappers or traded for them with your best friend. 4 i Collecting has been a hobby for years, and many students discovered the challenge of col- lecting everything from old coins to stuffed animals. I ' ve been collecting baseball cards since I was five, mentioned Don McGlamery. I have about 5,000 cards going back about ten years. Stamps and coins as well as baseball cards increased in value as the years passed. Joe Parlette said, I ' ve been col- lecting coins for about six years. It is a hobby that I ' ve al- ways been interested in, and I have many valuable coins. Instead of being profitable, some collections were just for looks. Charles Waite com- mented, I have a collection of beer bottles from all over the world. It is really good look- ing. Chris Whiting added, My sports uniform number has always been 26 so I collect anything with the number 26 on it. As you open Christmas mail, you notice a Bolivian stamp on one of the letters. You grab a pair of scissors and cut the stamp out. Then you search your closet for the rest of your collection and mount the stamp, hoping that it will in- crease the value of your collec- tion. Up to the top. As the U.S. mint planned to stop making pennies out of copper, they became much more valuable. Taylor Biederman finishes filling up a can with pennies. Uncommon currency. Tom Nootbaar looks at an 1 882 silver dollar through a magnifying glass. Tom ' s collection contained a wide variety of coins and was worth approximately three thousand dollars. Solitary shuffle. Dave McDonald spends an evening organizing his baseball cards. Baseball cards had to be kept in perfect condition, or thev became less valuable, 214 PEOPLE AND EVENTS
