Do you collect anything?

Post Reply New Topic

I collect Crystals, Rocks, and Minerals.

I collect shopping bags from different stores.
Unusual, I know but its an interest of mine. I like how much they differ

I collect movie toys/props. I also collect mp3's, movies and tv shows. Computers and electronics. Third generation Honda Civic Hatchbacks and related parts (the whole car, not toys).

I am forever crying for more shelf/hard drive space.

I collect old records, wire-bound notebooks (most with only a few pages written on - what can I say), and stuffed animals.

I collect rocks and fossils. For a while I collected and obsessed over plants as well, though I had to get rid of quite a few as it got to be overwhelming. A few years ago I collected Littlest Pet Shop toys (age 20 at the time), though I eventually gave them to my niece, and I also collected cat whiskers for a while, and animal bones. These latter two things seemed to freak out my family a lot so I gave them up.

I collect shoes and boots, I have cupboards full of them.

lots of love,

I used to collect sticker books. I once completed one, it was an old Euro football one. I can't remember what year, but I imagine it might have been worth something to a collector. I wish I still had it.
I would spend all my money buying stickers, and I collected football cards too. I also collected Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon, but I didn't play them. I just liked to have them in the little slips you get in a folder and just look through them and wouldn't dare take them out of it's place unless I was going to trade or sell.
I could never except slightly damaged cards, or if it had fading on it or something. They all had to be perfect.

Ancient coins

Ancient coins.. That's awesome. If you would like to, please share more about them. I'm interested in knowing more about ancient coins.

I am also somewhat a numismatist myself. I have several coins from South Africa, The Bahamas, Iceland, Germany (many are of the medieval period), Russia, Slovenia, various countries making up the CIS, Canada, Central and South America (and others). The local flea market sells any 20 coins for $1.00. I do have some of the Morgan Dollars, "Indian head" wheat pennies and buffalo nickels (old ones), but I do not intentionally collect them.

I collect wizard figurines, like this one.

I collect watercolor painting supplies, drawing pencils, sketch books of various kinds, arrowheads, crystals, rocks, & those little stickers from fruit and vegies (which is fading lately.)

Me too.

I agree . But if you come to my house, you'll find that I mean this quite literally. We've got a spider infestation and no air-filtration system.

I had a large collection of foreign coins from when I used to be a cashier. I had some that I didn't even know their country of origin. I think that I may have lost them in a move, though.

I 've started finding feathers everywhere lately, so I'm starting to amass quite a few of them.

I collect rocks\crystals, bullets, RC cars, random mechanical and electronic parts and guns.

I have a small rock/fossil collection but like all my small collections (coins, historical artifacts, paper money, stamps...) it suffers losses when my wife takes it in to her classes. I don't think they are stolen hardly at all. Just that my wife is absent minded like me and leaves them somewhere. I was really into plants for a while & was up to something like 110 of them. It was pretty nice once in a while getting a whiff of that nice smell you have in florists. I 'manage' my daughters Littlest Pet shop collection, but really it's just in storage & I haven't added to it. I also keep her Smurf figures, and some Lego sets and a Playmobil Dollhouse collection. I do occasionally add to the Playmobil collection and got her something new from it on her birthday. I have been tempted by a bone or two but always decide against it. Once while walking accross the battlefield of Waterloo in Belgium, I came accross a small sink hole that exposed some bones. It was almost certainly part of a mass grave from the battle that settled, even after all these years. I picked out a Vertebra and showed it to my traveling companions but it kind of creeped them out. I was fine until I saw there reaction and it then creeped me out and I put it back. I have to go back to my earliest years to find something like Cat whiskers. I remember collecting dead bugs for a while.
