  1. County collecting

    County collecting is keeping track of the Counties of the United States counties and other major census division s one has visited in the United States . Many county collectors try to go for blackout , to visit every county unit in the United States. Others try to black out individual states, and others are only interested in keeping track of the counties they have visited without blacking out any states. County collecting is a way for people to relate to geography and their own life histories. Many county collectors became interested in the pursuit after being given a school assignment to plot their travels on a county outline map of the United States. Many county collectors document their travels by being photographed with a county sign marker, or by taking a photo of the sign itself. Some document these travels with gas and other receipts. However, the web sites and organized groups that facilitate county collecting do not require a participant to prove his or her entry into a particular county. Some avid county collectors visit new counties by taking circuitous routes, for example, driving from Minneapolis to Chicago by way of Green Bay, Wisconsin . The most determined collectors take entire trips which consist of driving around states in cornrow patterns. This is pure county collecting. On the other hand, taking a short detour from a direct route to visit one or more counties is called dipping .

  1. Record collecting

    refimprove date October 2011 Record collecting is the hobby of collecting music. Although the main focus is on vinyl record s, all formats of recorded music are collected. History Record collecting has been around probably nearly as long as recorded sound. In its earliest years, phonograph s and the recordings that were played on them first wax phonograph cylinder s, and later flat shellac discs were mostly toys for the rich, out of the reach of the middle or lower classes. By the 1920s, improvements in the manufacturing processes, both in players and recordings, allowed prices for the machines to drop. While entertainment options in a middle to upper class home in the 1890s would likely consist of a piano, smaller instruments, and a library of sheet music, by the 1910s and later these options expanded to include a radio and a library of recorded sound. After the fall of the phonograph cylinder, the record was the uncontested sound medium for decades. The number of available recordings mushroomed and the number of companies pressing records skyrocketed. These were 78 revolutions per minute rpm , originally one sided, then later double sided, ten inch shellac discs, with about two to four ... on collecting records for many years.

    refimprove date April 2008 Police memorabilia collecting is a hobby involving the collection and trading of law enforcement related patches or badges ref In the United States , the distinction is that patches are embroidered insignia, whereas badges are metallic or plastic items affixed to a uniform ref , and other memorabilia including Custodian helmet bobby helmets , training manuals, police medals, and historic artifacts such as turn of the century screw based handcuffs and police box globes. Public collection Since the September 11, 2001 attacks , many laws have been enacted which control possession of law enforcement insignia for security purposes, and this has impacted civilian collecting because they do not want the patches to be given to anyone other than law enforcement officers. In addition to this, patch reproductions have also become a problem amongst collectors, and most serious historians regard the reproductions as having no value. Various organizations, such as the California Law Enforcement Historical Society, sponsor annual events which spotlight the historical significance of preserving accurate information for future generations. West Virginia Law prohibits trading patches, yet North Carolina law prohibits departments selling patches. Though many do not trade or give away patches, many agencies nationwide sell their patches, for around 5, some being for a new police cruiser, charity, or for their explorers program.
