Anyone collect lures?
I was just wondering if there are any lure collectors out there and what do you collect. I mainly collect Rapala lures, but I also collect older Cotton Cordell lures as well as Rebel Bait-fish series lures.

I have close to 300 lures starting from the late 1800′s up through the 1950′s appraisal value for complete loss for insurance is 18,000 dollars US. Almost all are wooden with glass eyes and in the box.

No,
Are they worth anything? If so you can probably increase your collection size by looking for them on eBay.

I am a Rapala lure collector as well. Right now I am trying to complete my DRFR collection. Mostly I just need the overseas colors and the specials. I also need a few salmon specials and shallow fat raps. I am also always looking for rare shallow shad raps, CDSR, F18, F13, JSR, DT, J13, and CDJ lures.
