Back in the 90s, I salivated when just looking at all the colorway combos available from the Eye Jacket and Trenchcoat line. In my mind, I would try to collect them all, but unfortunately, even if I had all the money in the world, it would be an insane to do. So Instead, I collected all the SunglassHut CATALOG I can get and be more normal, but the reality was I was as broke as a joke to buy more than one pair.

Today, I see massive collections, artistic set-ups, holy grails, masterpiece customs, limited Eds and factory one offs. So, like the yesteryears, I would salivate looking and would wish to have them all too. Obviously, it is impossible because money cannot buy everything. So my solution: a HD digital picture frame for less than $200. Then I'd go save every picture I like, transfer them over to the frame, run it in a slideshow mode then accompanied by various adrenalin themed music that plays in the background. Make sure this bad boy has the ability to play videos too so one can put various "Purpose beyond Reason" videos from YouTube as part of the video/audio/picture loop.

Anybody else into digital collecting?

You pretty much mirror my thoughts. Here's my current stash of digital files.


I've got a lot of cool stuff there, but the photo album idea is genius. I've probably have to do a lot of resaving since many are PDF files, but still not too bad.

I've got a ton of stuff from the old days, as well as modern. I too feel like collecting the digital catalogs is almost as good. Least they never get wrinkled. Plus it's easier to navigate. Fun to dig through and find things you forgot you had, as was the case with those Plate images from yesterday.

Just found this while browsing. Keeps things fresh, and more importantly, free.

Great idea Cal! I've been digitally collecting for years as well. I see something and just have to save it. Anything from official images, personal collection images, vector EPS files, PDFs, print files, ads, scans, reports, to magazine articles.
