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.
