Records and comics for me. As a kid from say the late 60's I use to buy a couple of Walt Disney comics each week until 1978 when they stopped printing them in Australia. In later years if I was at a secondhand bookshop or markets etc and saw ones I didn't have I would buy them. I don't know how many I've got but it would be a fair few. Mad magazines I bought until 1980 when they introduced a sub-standard Australian edition. I have them dating back to 1953 I think.
As for records. I was buying them from about 1978 and once I started work I would buy at least two or three albums a week. I was buying mainly from secondhand record shops because not liking contemporary music I was buying 60's and early 70's stuff.
