I sure have Mark. We need more PIS (pen idiot savants?) on here. I haven't bought a pen in a while and really want a FP to be next. I wouldn't mind an SS Solitaire!

What are the 7 first ones from the right and the two first ones from the left?

Ha! Not much, really. Just a 2006 Lexus GS, 2010 Lexus ISc, and 2 Honda bikes, 2009, 2010. Oh, and a FlyScooter.

From left to right:
Bossert & Erhard roller
Bossert & Erhard roller
S.T.Dupont ball
S.T.Dupont LE roller
MB roller
MB 75th anniversary roller
MB Nikolai roller
MB Nikolai LeGrand roller
MB Citrine roller
Cartier gel/ball
Aurora LE Demonstrator roller
Jorg Hysek ball
Jorg Hysek roller
Dunhill roller
Sensa ball
Sensa ball
Cross roller

I'm missing my Monte Verde roller in the pic.
The one on top is a mechanical pencil... not even sure who makes it.

I had more but I gave away 2 MBs, A Porsche Design, and 2 Waterfords, and I lost a Bossert & Erhard ball.

Thanks guys! Funny story... I started collecting watches a long time ago, but was never interested in Rolex. After about 5 watches, I stopped because it was getting too expensive. So I switched to pen collecting. after collecting pens for a while I stopped again, for the same reason. Then I bought my first Rolex, and after that, the ol' "it's just money" philosophy took over. The rest, as you can see, is history!

I travelled a similar path. After 3 rolexes, I stopped and switched to pens for the same reason. And now I have over 100 pens
