I vacillate between a few different hobbies. The first is game-worn NHL hockey memorabilia. My favorite player as a kid was Olli Jokinen from Finland. My collection can be viewed at hockeyandart.weebly.com

The other collection is watches. Right now, my collection consists of one watch: An Omega Speedmaster Reduced (Automatic). I have owned a vintage Rolex in the past as well as an Omega Seamaster. Really like Glasshutte and Lange & Sohne but cannot afford one. Maybe a pre-owned Navitimer or IWC at some point.

I get the watches, my holy grail was an Omega Seamaster PO which i've had for a few years , I then got a Panerai and thought it would stop at that, got a G-Shock, then a Swatch and then a Breitling Avenger Seawolf II, hopefully thats it for a while. 
I've recently found a love for mens fragrances and started to get a nice little collection going, features mainly Creed and the Tom Ford private blends. Once a collector always a collector of something .

Agree. Always collecting something. I really want an IWC Portuguese but cannot justify $5000 on a watch. Maybe pick up a pre-owned Breitling Navitimer at some point. Maybe a vintage Rolex again. Really like Zenith as well....expensive world this!

Impressive.
And there was me thinking I collected the oldest things on here.
You've out done me by a few hundred years, sir.

Ah Coach you charmer. I love your illuminated manuscript collection.

The oldest thing I actually own (which is currently hanging around my wife's neck) is a greek tetradrachm from about 500 BC!

Beautiful it is.

 Those Thors hammers are great. I found something similar a small bronze object but can't decide if its north european solar cult or African as it has the solar spirals as part of the decoration.

 Oldest sculpture I have is circa 1800 BC, plus some Song dynasty jade.

I collect Viking artefacts, here are a few of my Thor hammers.

All about 9 -11th century AD.









I've got quite a few other bits and bobs too.

I've been waiting to get a proper display case etc for them.

I never realised Vikings were so small compared to us all today.

Thanks Coach.  In the flesh this piece is so crisp and has a lovely weight and height to it.  Wish I could afford another.

I also collect Nihonto, guenine japanese blades.

My wife got a blade from Japan by someone.  Is it possible to get the story from pictures of blade, box and Japanese symbol carved on blade ? Black Apple Art

I'd sign up on the board below, post some pictures and details. Extremely knowledgeable people there and I'm sure you will get great indepth information on the blade.

Backstory? 

Before I was introduced to prints and art, I was primarily a comic and toy buyer.  This was the first complete set I bought in Soho all those years ago!!!  I've been posting more pictures recently because I'm trying to as much as possible create an inventory of what's hidden in numerous storage boxes in my home.

Awesome! I was just curious that's all. It's amazing what I unpacked and found before I moved to Australia.

Favourite comic book character?

That's an interesting question and I don't think I have one.  I just loved comics.  Judge Dredd was my first purchase but after discovering Mega-City comics my interest exploded; Tank Girl, The Vampire Lestat, Sandman, Valiant comics (Harbinger, Eternal Warrior, Magnus Robot Fighter), Alan Moore, Bone by Jeff Smith....thanks for taking me back

 That's cool, Neil Gaiman did a cool Sandman series. I was always more mainstream marvel / wolverine.

Had the pleasure of meeting Stan Lee at comicon a few years back. Can't believe he is 94.

Sandman's great.  The only thing that put me off Marvel / Wolverine was that at the time there were so many spin-offs.  I just couldn't keep up.  Meeting Stan Lee must have been so special.  He's done some amazing work.
How's Australia?
