Gee, you know that information... really would've been more useful to me YESTERDAY!

I used to collect all of my movie ticket stubs until they were *accidentally* thrown away.


Now I just collect dust.

the souls of my enemies

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

i don't collect too much, but...

Randy Johnson baseball cards... for 16 years now and I have over 3000 unique cards.

U.S. Coins, Currency and Confederate Money... almost done with my U.S. Type Set too.

That's about it...

Um. Don't know if it's intentional as a collection really, but I've kept every movie stub since I graduated high school.

I own about 350 DVD's so I guess that's a collection.
I definately enjoy collecting melee weapons. I own several swords and a mace. I want a rapier and a war maul next, and maybe a naginata.
I collect a miniatures game as well that I also play.
And I guess I'm collecting tattoos onto my body.

My wife and I just started collecting art pottery. We decided that instead of buying gifts that just break or are thrown away we'll give something that will last and probably go up in price. Plus, we love it.

My father has a rather large collection of some really rare pieces. He has about 8 large curio cases full.

 

[NEWKILLA]

motorcycles and guns

 

[JulesMaximus]

I collect guns, old computer parts (not because I'm into old computers but because I never seem to get rid of old hardware when I upgrade), I also collect bicycles and bike parts, surfboards and my latest hobby is motorcycles...I only have one of those though and they take up substantially more room than any of my other hobbies so I'm not sure how the wife will take to me having more than one motorcycle.

I guess if you wanted to be accurate you could just say that I collect hobbies. :laugh:

 

[flunky nassau]

I heard that the need to collect is actually an illness.

Anyways, I have ~2500 vinyl Lps (hiphop, 70's soul, funk & jazz; downtempo & electronic).

Got some comics & baseball cards in the attic.

 

[adairusmc]

Guns. USGI Garands and 1903 Springfields to be more specific, but I collect all others too.

 

[spacejamz]

have a collection of about 60 restaurant menus (that i 'borrowed') and a ton of shot glasses...

 

[LookingGlass]

Art glass, art deco furniture. Fiesta ware, and Homer Laughlin China. American Brilliant Cut Glass. As with anything that is collected, know what you are buying, and do your homework.

Your own? Or, like, random dudes you meet on the subway or something? Cuz that's nasty.

Well.....

 

[Soundmanred]

Vinyl (Records) - Somewhere in the 2,000-2,200 range. I'm not going to count them.
CD's - A little over 5,000 probably, haven't counted in a year and haven't ripped them all yet.
Disney Laserdiscs - I buy record frames for them for my daughters room and they will go in the home theater when she grows out of them.
Elmo toys - Not because I want to...
I got out of vintage gaming (see my FS thread for the remains) but I'm keeping a few things (Vectrex, other rare stuff).
Anything that plugs in or uses batteries. I'm a techcollector.

Don't know if you've heard, but someone has resurrected the Rookwood company. Thankfully it's still in Cincinnati too.

Real Wedgewood is also nice but there is another company that plays off the name (Wedgwood).
