I like to look at menus of the top restaurants in the world (Le Bernardin, the French Laundry) online for some odd reason even though I don't live anywhere near these places.

Also anything about old Hollywood.

Stats
The psychology of reward systems.

I'll start:

Serial Killers - Used to read a great website all the time called Crime Library (I think it got bought by Trutv a while back).

I think a lot of people are interested in serial killers. They're pretty fascinating.

I like scandinavian heavy metal.

I started a similar project a few years ago, but got burned out after a few hundred. I really need to go through and document which cards I do own, for insurance purposes, even though the total worth is probably only $100.
 
Add me to the serial killer list. Or, rather people who are interested in reading about them.

Also, unsolved mysteries. Anything from murders to disappearances to weird natural phenomena.

It was actually not that much fun. I also put all the cards in plastic covers. This card collection was passed from grandpa-dad (About 100 cards, all worth 30-500$ each) Then my dad had about 30,000 some really valuable, some not so much.

Then I had about 20K in my card collection.

And the "worth" of these cards are Baseball Beckett's guess. It would be hard to find a trader or collector to pay for some of those prices.

(Interestingly, Daughter of the creator of baseball beckett went to Wake Forest.)
