What are some things you collect?

[Symphony.]

I collect CDs (have about 140 so far), and am just starting to get into collecting records, of which I only have about 9 so far, since I can't get to my local record shop that often.
My rarest record? I won't say the band name, because they are a local band and I don't want to give out my location, but only about 500 copies of it were printed.
So, what do you guys collect?

[Bad Wolf]

Actually I have a ton of CDs plus records as well, although I've never really "collected" them.

As far as collections go, I used to collect fairy things when I was a kid, then anything about peace (peace key chains, peace signs, etc.). I'm not sure if it counts as a collection, but I am obsessed with buying books. If I read a book I like, I must own it.

[Zero.]

OH I REMEMBER WHAT I COLLECT WHEN I WAS 10!
poke cards.
sorry. being hyper ish today.

Anyway, i collect books too. I collect Alex rider Series, Warriors series, Cherub series and stuff.

[Eternal]

I have two parakeets and I college their feathers sometimes if I find a really pretty one

[Complete Love.]

Bouncy balls and rubber bands.

[Disappearing]

I collect turtles (not real ones) and anything that has to do with butterflies.

[Viky]

When i was little I used to collect dead butterflies because someone told me it was rare to find even pieces of them after they die and i found a wing then proceeded to take home every already deceased butterfly i found. I never killed them though, mind you.

I also used to collect rocks, i still have that collection. Now days i don't collect much except for books and things from other countries, unique cool, and interesting things. I don't know how many i have or anything like that, i just like the cultural diversity in items that i can collect. And i have no idea how many books i have quite a few, i need a new bookshelf here soon.

[Koharuchan]

Oh dear god, I'm an otaku. I mainly collect manga, which is basically a Japanese comic book. They're different from American books. They usually have over 200-300 pages and are read from right to left. I currently have 384 volumes of manga.

Also, anime dvds. I have every season of avatar, almost all the death note dvd's, all the inuyasha episodes, etc.

Japanese stuff. Mostly anime collectibles like action figures, collectible figurines, etc. But I also have a few geisha dolls, I have some beautifully painted hanging wall scrolls, a kimono, a japanese teapot and matching teacups with a bamboo pattern, traditional Japanese swords, I can go on forever here.

When I was younger I collected pokemon and yugioh cards. I have hundreds, maybe over a thousand cards in albums in the attic.

[TheNumber42]

I collect knives and multi-tools. This is my biggest and favorite collection.

On a related note, camping gear.

Coins as well.

I used to collect stamps. Still have the collection but not actively pursuing it.

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

My father and other relatives are avid coin collectors, which got me interested in some of it as well. I've gone to some coin shows and negotiated prices each time. My folks are mostly interested in Canadian currency, although I bought a variety of other currencies, particularly German Marks. My interest in it has fluctuated and right now, I'd say it's moderate. Some of the items, particularly bills are valued not because they're old, rather because they're uncut bills.

I tried collecting some knives, although at the time I was under 18, which made it rather difficult. I don't actively pursue it unless I go somewhere and see something amazing.

I also collect regular decks of playing cards. For a while I was into card magic and had a few small performances at resorts. Most recently, I've been interested in improving my card shuffling ability such that I can move a particular card to the top or bottom without making it obvious to people watching. Unfortunately, my relatives and friends don't expect me to deal a fair hand, although none have caught any techniques thus far. It's interesting especially for games where there's one set dealer.

[~*Just Keep Swimming*~]

I've collected Willow Tree angels for a long time since I was little after my godmother died, they mean a lot to me. I used to collect Pokemon cards and still have them all.

[ForgetMeNot9]

I've never really thought of myself as a collector of anything but if I was to say I collected something it would probably be books by certain authors, and movies. I guess I also collect ticket stubs from concerts, train tickets etc

[theinfatuatedpanda]

Do books count?

[George^^]

Stickers, I've stuck maybe a hundred or more on my door, I use to collect childrens books, rocks, yu-gi-oh cards (don't know where the hell they went now...)

My parents collect things too, my mom has owls and nic-nac dolls, my dad collects cameras (like, old ones, new ones, interesting ones)

[squirrel glider]

I've never been one to collect things but I can certainly see the appeal. If I were going to start it would have to be something small and inexpensive so it didn't take up a lot of space or cost me a fortune.

Perhaps I'd go with rocks like some of the people here have said. Easy to find, easy to get rid of, some have a neat colour that might impress people, and I could fit them all in a box. Sounds perfect.

[~*Just Keep Swimming*~]

Oh! You just reminded me, rocks. I love tumbled rocks, my friend's sent me a lot of them. I collect those too I guess!

[Palmolive]

I collect F.R.I.E.N.D.S dvds and videos And I collect anything related to Panda's. <3

[Alfonsoiner]

Actually I have a CD drive over a lot, too, although I never really "collect" them.

As for the collection to go, I used to collect the things you did when I was little, so there is no peace (peace keychains, peace signs, etc..) I do not know if it is considered as a collection, but I am obsessed with buying books . If I read a book that I like, I have.

[better-than-ecstasy]

Anything Rascal Flatts!

[i_like_black]

I collect Stephen King books . . . Harry Potter books and paraphernalia (when I get rich I will buy a box set with all 8 DVDs) . . . keyrings . . . glow-in-the-dark stuff - when I get my own house, I'm going to use glow-in-the-dark stars to create a replica of the night sky in the southern hemisphere . . . I used to collect Enid Blyton books, then I sold them all, then I regretted it . . . and naturally I collect the majority of the art I've made, as nobody else has yet expressed an interest in owning it :P

Oh and I collect expensive items on RuneScape, though I doubt that counts as a proper collection.

[MD8]

I collect sport memorabilia mainly trading cards and blurays.

[Digital Crusader]

I've collected a pretty good assortment of books. Unfortunately, I'm out of bookshelf space and am on a college budget, so I probably won't be buying any for quite a while. My favorite in my collection so far is a set of Charles Dickens novels from 1870, some of the last published while he was still alive.

[amystery]

hm...I'm kind of a pack rat so I have all sorts of "collections". When I was younger my parents started me a collection of cherished teddies, precious moments, now I have willow tree angels and such..porcelain dolls. I use to like cats and dolphins so over the years family members continue to buy me cat things etc . I guess I could count Christmas ornaments as well...my brother and I each get one every year from our parents. I'm probably forgetting something I could count like books but I dont really think of it as collecting them. *shrugs*

[Magical Forest.]

Penguins!! Anything penguin/Happy Feet related.

[Bibliophile]

Sheep and owls.

[Lumos.]

Books- I LOVE to read!
Rocks-I have been collecting them since i was really little. Maybe since i was 3.
Movie and concert tickets- I love movies and concerts so i want to remember what i went to and when.
Coins- i don't have many but enough.

[Cap's girl]

I collect things concering Johnny Depp-Movies, books pictures.....i have close to one hundred objects in my collection....and no....I am not obsessed.....

[Skeleton]

Records, I guess. I have a box, a bit bigger than a shoe box, full of ones I bought and about 10 rare ones, a few of which are signed. I don't really get many because I don't get to go to stores that sell them often and they can be expensive.

I also collect concert tickets as I go to a lot of them and I've saved them all and I have a nice collection of band badges from the concerts I go to as well, it's a nice memory of all the gigs I've been to.

[Solivagant]

Jewellery, which I never wear And novels!!

[Kumagoro]

I love collecting things. Books, if they count. CDs definitely count - I have to own the original CD. Not the download. I collect button badges - I have too many to pin onto one bag. And teddy bears. I think I have more teddy bears than books, CDs and button badges put together. They fill my entire room.

[Laurasaurus]

Old magazines? If they count...

[CaptainCastle]

BEADS I'm like a magpie for sparkley things. I make jewellery, so at least I have a use for them, but I still have boxes and boxes of them waiting to be used. Panda related things, I've always loved them and built up quite a collection of stuff. ^_^ I guess also books and cuddly toys, I'm addicted to buying them and I have a LOT.

[blurryface]

CDs xD I have over 40 albums, 60+ discs. When I didn't have a portable music player, I made tons of mixed CDs. I have spent hundreds of dollars on CDs xD

[oldaccount]

I collect notes and pictures, as well as yearbooks. Things that have memories for me. I have notes from 7th grade (in two weeks I'll be a sophomore) that my best friend wrote me. I have pictures that I took on the last day of 6th grade. I have my 3rd-8th grade yearbooks.

[SparklingWine]

I actually collect those pennies that you get on trips, the ones where you stick it in the machine and it makes a design on it.. It's hard to explain.

I have a book full

[Kumagoro]

I also collect posters. In the sense that I won't throw one away, even if there's no space left on my wall.

[zandermander95]

I collect Comics! I have a bunch of #1 issues from the DC NEW 52!

[2The Doctor2]

I collect model trains. At this point I have 4 locomotivs and about 30 train cars.

[Newt Scamander]

I collect books (Does that count?) Well I also collect sea shells, use to go to my grandpa's house and when it was time to go he'd give me a bunch of sea shells. He doesn't really do that anymore so I just look at garage sales and find them.

[TorchesInTheDark]

i collect shotgalsses. im only 17 but dont worry, i dont drink from them. i have approximently 250 and counting. its my way of viewing the world- so to speak.
