Collecting things

Post Reply New Topic

We all collect things. Some are esoteric, others are things that are very common of people to collect.

My collection centers around sports and anime/manga; I have sports gear (caps, jerseys, the like), anime DVDs, manga, and anime t-shirts (the anime shirts I wear under my sports jerseys).

I collect true crime books

Oops; I also collect retro video games.

I used to collest cardboard tubes, not anymore.

I have a collection of 1980's Adidas trainers. I no longer add to the collection as it's too expensive.

I collect information, Magic: The Gathering cards (not so much anymore, as they take up too much space and I lack the time to play), WWII militaria (particularly German), Civil Defense (WWII and Cold War-era) paraphernalia, dice (platonic and non-platonic solids), ammunition (not what I use when shooting), currency and cats (though not intentionally; they just show up).

I collect feathers, rocks, and other odds and ends that I find on the ground, like a small bottle half full of some kind of liquid with the lid rusted on and washers that have been left out in the rain). I used to collect foreign coins when I worked as a cashier, but my collection has gone missing.

Oh, and I forgot--I used to collect key chains. My favorite one was an advertisement for a laxative brand that had a big yellow that said "Doxidan Did It!" around the outside on one side and "Doxidan in the PM for a BM in the AM" on the other. I still have that one. I found it on the ground.

Games and various gaming merchandise, old and new. I also enjoy getting new movies and tv boxsets Also, I still have my old pokemon collection from when I was younger.

I collect fridge magnets

I have collected things off and on over the years. But I don't keep it going or else I run out of room and have clutter.

I collect anything I find interesting. More specifically, rare stuff. I typically collect retro games, especially Nintendo games. Collecting video games has always been a hobby. I have several rare games for the Famicom, Nes, etc.

I collect comic books though only a few select titles because it's expensive.

Since working at a charity shop I have started my own teddy rescue centre. When donations get sorted so many soft toys get thrown in the rags bag so I take home the salvageable ones and give them a second home, also clean them and give them a makeover. (As cute as some of these teddies are they do need a good wash.)

I collect tiny odd metal items i find on the ground, certain stickers, {and, un-intentionally sometimes, negative thoughts.}

I collect toys. Most of my collection centers around My Little Pony stuff (I have 47 plastic toys and 2 plushies), but occasionally I get the urge to buy toys from other shows/movies that I like. For example, I have an Edward Scissorhands figure, several Alice in Wonderland plushies/figures (which are currently sitting in storage), and I have recently ordered plushies of Fionna from Adventure Time and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I also get the urge to buy plushies whenever I go into a thrift store, because I feel sorry for them and worry that they won't be adopted. This has resulted in a collection of miscellaneous plushies such as a generic unicorn, a Raggedy Ann, a fluffy orange cat, and a couple of bears. But my favorite miscellaneous plush is the polar bear with a blue snowflake scarf that my Nana gave me when she came out to visit 2 years ago.

I collect various types of merchandise that's related to my favourite band. I might need to move into a larger place, soon.
