What do you collect?
 

Do you collect beer cans? Whiskey Decanters? Cracker jack toys? Coca Cola memorabilia? Sportscards/autographs?



What do YOU collect?

canker sores

Dollars.

I used to collect barbies but then I married one.

Spores, molds and fungus.

arrowheads and free drinks
sec

Shot glasses

Superhero Comic Books from the 40's,50's,60's and 70's

Various DNA samples of your mother.

human fingers

anything and everything that has to do with gamebred pitbull dogs and gamecocks.

I collected Beer cans (empty only) as a teenager. I had about 500 different ones when I finally sold the collection on e-bay.

Now, I collect DT cards. Currently have a little over 500 different ones. Really focusing on getting the autographed and Jersey cards of his now.

DT's cards in the past few months have really skyrocketed for some reason.

I have the entire collection listed on Beckett.com and they update the pricing for it every Monday. Currently for the 500+ it's max value is $1,800.

Bills.

Muscle tone.

Enemies.

Used to be heavy into baseball cards, mostly older ones. Had some late 1800 Old Judge, some T-206s, Goudey, and an assortment of cards from the 50s and 60s.

Since I collected as a teenager, however, it's become a super-scientific endeavor, with "grades" being issued by official companies for how close your card is to absolutely perfect, etc. ad infinitum. I cashed it all out via Ebay a couple of years ago now.

Panties

This is what I collect:

LEGO's from the 1970's and 1980's...specifically the Space and Castle sets..

Vintage Transformers...

Videogames from damn near every system...

Fisher Price toys from the 1940's to the 1970's...

Tonka Trucks...

Whiskey Decanters..(still trying to sell my corvette collection...the centerpiece is the 1978 pace car)

Football cards

Clowns, mostly Emmet Kelly porcelain figurines.

My grandpa loved Emmet Kelly clowns, he had nearly 100 of them or so IIRC, before he passed away. I have a couple of them from him, a little keep sake.

Noncollectable
 

Dust mostly, but I suppose music for sure.:hmmm:

I thought I'd at least get a chuckle out of this. You guys suck. :harumph:

I collect movies, books, various sports and entertainment autographs and other memoriabilia and jerseys.

Actually, I was just getting ready to comment that this place must be a gold mine for you then.

Your Grandpa had good taste.

Hot sauce. I have no idea why.

Yeah, pretty much. :D

I think that's the coolest collection in this thread. You can actually do something with it.

what's in it?

Anvils and old woodworking tools. Spot some, lemme know.

Do you have a 1983 Corvette?

cold war stuff. i like propaganda posters, military surplus items from the eastern bloc, antique weapons, etc.

Bells - collection inherited from my grandmother
Roses
Shot glasses

Crack.

AHEM!!

Shot glasses are dumb, too. Just another form of buying something with crap slapped on it.

i was gonna but i hate you.

Ticket stubs, game programs, and media guides.

i have an extra titans media guide from 99 if you want it.

very good Bourbon

glass with ice please, and lets get going on that biatcha....
I like small batch bourbon, Knob Creek is another one,
but woodford is a little better, IMO

Diseases.

I have a pretty big collection of Evel Knievel stuff: Action figures and toys, jump posters and ticket stubs, I even have a Bally EK pinball machine. Unfortunately most of it is out in the garage in boxes. I have a display case in the living room that I rotate stuff in about every 6 months.

When I first discovered eBay about 12 years ago (yeah, it's been around that long!) I collected electronic handheld games (I had about 80) BURGIE! beer stuff, motion beer signs and old flashlights.

I sold off all the handhelds and the Burgie! stuff but still have the flashlights.

Agree with everything except the rocks. Even though I'm a gin drinker.

LMAO

I don't really collect anything, but I have an accumulation of antique marbles and stamps (they were my Grandpa's), and Hot Wheels (mine from when I was a kid and when I see a motorcycle or something semi-rare I buy it).

Actually, I collect Sho-Me coloring books. I mean text books. It's a collection inspired by CrazyCoffee's sig.

j/k

Guess ?

hate PMs

miniature sports figurines... since i was a kid... i have a couple hundred

i don't like the new, bigger, more detailed ones they sell now

I used to collect camping, backpacking, and outdoor gear. Upon looking at my collection of Gore-Tex jackets and thinking of the dollars on display, I've reined myself in. Currently I have a pretty good collection of sippy cups.

I do collect books for my classroom library. I have close to 500 titles currently, and I should be up to around 2,500 by this time next year after I purchase a bunch more with grant money.

I got rid of my comic book collection at a garage sale a few years back because I hadn't kept them in good condition. One of my colleagues, who also uses classroom libraries though his kids are struggling, alliterate readers, recently had a bunch of comic books donated to him for his library. As I was going through the titles, I realized that it was my collection.

diapers apparantly

why diapers?

I must be boring, I don't collect a single thing.

I forgot. I've collected all of the Royals Hall of Fame bobbleheads from the last two years.

Cookie Rojas, Steve Busby, Dennis Leonard, Fred Patek, Dick Howser, Frank White, George Brett and Paul Splittorff.

I'm going out Saturday to get my John Mayberry and watch the Royals extend their losing streak to 13 games!

I think he's referring to having a baby and the fact that baby expenses tend to replace all of your hobbies and manly collectibles.

LMAO

but why does he keep them?

redrum_69 has lost his burst.

Do you store them in your toilet and shower?

I collect BMW automobiles. Right now my collection stands at one.

I also collect world globes from different eras, but I'm not real serious about it. I just buy them if I find them, but I don't look for them.

I'd really like to collect autographs from historical figures, such as presidents or generals or inventors or something. Not sports figures, since I think that's a horribly inflated and overrun market. The autographs of the type I like are so darn expensive, though, that I may never do it.

It is a sickness with me.

Shot glasses, NFR Hesston Belt Buckles, George Brett Stuff, Chiefs and Royals stuff, Die Cast Cars, Old Mopar parts, golf clubs, tools, baseball cards, football cards, nickels

ya for some reason I do the same kind of. I have about a dozen bottles of hot sauce because I like to try each type. So far my favorite is this cajun blend of hot sauce that I have.

It used to be record albums. I started buying 45's in the mid 60's and bought my first full length album Grand Funk Railroad "On Time" in 1969. I stopped buying records in the early 90's and I ended up with about 4,000 albums of which I still have most of them.

For the last five years I've been collecting professional concert DVD's, I have about 160 right now.

I have a bunch of souvenier shot glasses and coffee cups as well. The ashtrays, however, are all in a box in the basement.

Heck, the ashtrays could be a very valuable collection some day when you think about it. I am going to start buying them up, great idea! :D

Oh, I had forgotten about my ball cap collection. Holy crap, I had to put them in boxes as well. I also have every license plate I have ever purchased, quite a stack I must say.

redneck headbands

I got a shitload of baseball caps, too. Probably 50. Hell, at least 50. I threw some out a couple of years ago and still have bunch. Mostly Chiefs hats, but also Cardinals, Mizzou, Royals, a couple from my ship, and some other miscellaneous ones.

In keeping with my standard organizational practices, they are all cluttered in the bottom of my closet, along with piles of shoes and ties that have fallen off the hanger rod. :D

From your ship? Were you in the Navy?

Yes. USS Concord, from '84 to '87.

Motto: Biggest Grapes in the Navy.

LMAO Nice! Just last weekend, I threw out a couple grocery sacks full.

We just watched Rambo, gotta be the best movie Stallone ever made.

Used to collect ball caps .. now just dust ....

The souls of lifeless Guatemalan hookers

I collect logo golf balls from the courses I have played. It's fun, I guess.

I have a penny collection, not that I'm an active collector. It was gifted to me well before I cared.

I've got a bunch of Gold and Silver age books too. I used to have a hell of a collection of Early golden age books.

Dave

I have a vast collection of ex-girlfriends. My wife won't let me put their pictures up on the walls. She's selfish that way. Same with my trophies for darts and softball. She has no appreciation of my past. One of these days I'm gonna get a trophy case.

You'd think she'd be proud.
