A great read, thanks Tony! It is particularly interesting to get some perspective from collectors that have just started collecting in the past few years. Amazing at the pace some of these collections have grown, and the quick adoption of customizing.

Hopefully we will see more of you around here, and thanks again for sharing a bit.

Usually I'd wait until Dann makes the announcement, but I'm sure he doesn't mind me directing you to September 2012's spotlight:

DAMN.....18 months collecting!!!!

thats serious mate!

great collection, for most of us to have 1 pair of some of yours would be a holy grail met but you have multiples of multiples!!!

well done, dont burn out and enjoy it...

super stuff..

Impressive! An awesome collection with only quality pieces, congrats on that.

Thanks Oak, I can post date news items, but wasn't sure if I'd be online to update the forum.

one of the very best collections at the tip-top section of the list if there was one, amazing!

This line gave me a chuckle because I think a lot of us can relate:

stopping at the side of the road just to bid an item

Been there, done that. Pulled out the iPhone or iPad at odd times and places to check up on or bid on items. I suppose I should get a sniper program one of these days.

I am a sniper program.

WOW, awesome collection!

Awesome spotlight and collection...congrats Anton

Very, very nice! Well done!

New spotlight up for October. I completely forgot about the baseketball floor story.

heee heee heee, block of wood......

Great stuff. One of the guys I've always wanted to hear from.

Awesome display and great stories.

congrats! very awesome collection!

Great spotlight and collector, and interesting read. Thanks for stepping up and sharing.

One thing that stood out is how few 'wearable' pairs I saw in the pics. All zeros and xmetals ... what makes for a daily wearer?!? LOL

Great write-up Travis! I really enjoyed our ride out to the paintball event and talking for an hour about your service to our country. To me, that was better than talking about sunglasses.

I mentioned the block of wood on "O Enthusiasts" on Facebook, and received offers for it!

Thank you for the comments everyone.

After a brief month off, we return with another Collector's Spotlight. This time we hear from Thomas Sorrells, a specialist in Frogskins and other hard to find pieces. Give it a read

Awesome displays and great spotlight!

That's an amazing collection of Frogskins. The whole collection is very cool but the Frogs are impressive.

Very cool spotlight and collection. Those Froggies are a slippery slope - but that is a feat to be proud of.

...now I know where those #9 Pettersons landed! LOL

Always cool when we can see where exact pairs traveled.

Congrats Thomas! Great collection of stuff!
