Hobbies?

So there are now numerous pencil collectors confirmed here on RN.

Or at least writing utensil collectors. A broader category I guess. 

I have a drawer in one of my tool boxes I toss old ...ahem... classic pencils when they get too well used. The patina on them is amazing. They all have provenance and documentation. 

With the down turn in the economy, I imagine investing in these amazing bits of history is a wise move. No cost is too great to the savvy investor. 

I take cashiers checks and Bitcoin. Maybe ammo, depending on the caliber.

You know...there is actually a niche segment of pencil collecting with collectors who collect all manner of used up pencils!!

I am dead serious too!!

And you'll get a kick out of this...there's even another collector segment who not only connect used up pencils, but they also "splice" them together into one pencil.  If you think that sounds crazy, you should see what they look like and the tools they use to do it...they're even crazier!!
