A Map To The Poor House

Somewhere over the weekend, I stumbled across the question, "If money was not an object, what would you collect?" The funny thing is I don't remember where I heard this question, but I cannot forget this question, even though I know the answer.

I am pretty happy with my baseball card collection from when I was a kid, but it would be fun to add a Nolan Ryan rookie card to my batch.

However, that's not where I would want to spend all my Monopoly money.

I pine, dream, and even fantasize about having a map collection. Framed maps of the Old World and New Americas all over each wall in our house, in my office, and on the cieling in my car (only Matt the Hatt and my family will get that reference if they remember the 1978 Cutlass Cruiser station wagon I drove in high school).

It would be like tattoos for me. One would not be enough. Good thing original maps are so freaking expensive. I can't even be tempted to buy one of the maps I pine for.
