That is so awesome! If I ever pass by signs, or old beer collectables, I will def let you know -- Your feed back is insane! I don't know how you manage to keep up with eBay, Stocks, and your daily job!
We are exactly the same. When I was 17, 7 years ago, I moved away to a friends house and we collected coins. We collected coins from the civil war area, and literally built a penny collection from 1858 civil war pennies, until 2012 pennies. We also had an 1856 till 1857 Eagle cent pennies!
Then as time went by, maybe 3 years later, our collection had over 1,500 pennies, and civil war memorabilia. We then sold it all and actually doubled our money, and had a completed set remaining.
Currently, I still have my completed set, and debating if I should send it out, or keep it.
There are so many ways to make money on this earth, all you have to do is look around you.
One thing that I am working on branching out on are books. :)
