What Do You Collect?

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/images/vc004841.jpg
Baseball season is getting into full swing. Baseball is one of the first sports to have cards devoted to its players and teams. They started in the 1800's! Many of the early ones were put out by companies who used them to promote their products, tobacco and bubble gum companies being two of the largest promoters.

You can read more about The History of Baseball Cards here. You can also go here to check out a list of past and current baseball teams and see the cards of their players. I never knew there were so many baseball teams that are no longer around today.

Many people collect baseball cards. Some of them are worth a lot of money. What do you collect? Tell us a little about your collection and why you enjoy it.

    I collect pins. I collect the kind of pins that you hook on to your cloths. I have a lot of pins. I have really old ones. But my favorite ones that I collect are Disney trading pins. I like them because you can trade them. I like to trade them because you can get all different kinds and you get to see so many. I also like them because there are a lot of special addition pins like they could say on them limited addition. That means that there are not many in the world. Another reason why I like them is because there are a lot of different series. That's what I collect.
