Do you people out there collect anything? Do you have a huge collection of something? Well you can tell us here.

I'm collecting DBZ cards(obvious).

As of right now I don't collect anything, well games I guess but that's not really a collection as I do play them, in my eyes a collection is something only to look at and admire and not use.

But when we finish our basement I am going to start collecting die cast GM cars and trucks and CART racing memorabilia. Only Canadian drivers and race most likely, and nothing to do with Andretti, as I think he is a snobbish prick.

I've let my "collecting hobbies" gather as much dust as the objects I used to collect, but I used to have a grip of them.

I used to collect bicycles. Mostly mountain bikes, but I had all sorts. New, old, foreign, domestic, rare and common. I have culled my herd down to one mountain bike, though. Collecting bikes was an exhausting hobby.

Although not proficient as many of my fellow hobbyists, I collect fishing tackle. Rods, reels, tackle boxes, lures, etc.

I at one time had an impressive collection of weapons, specifically guns and knives, but the authorities have seen fit to relieve me of the responsibility of their care. Now I am limited to some 18 pocket-knives and a filet knife and a survival knife and 1 skinning knife (the filet knife, the survival blade, and the skinner must be kept in a safe)

At one time, I had a collection of darts I was rather proud of. Wooden, brass, steel, and tungsten, with a selection of shafts and flights for each variety. Burglars saw fit to relieve me of those.

I also kept a representative (or two or three, they make many colors y'know) of each model of Mag-light in production. I was never able to acquire one that takes 10 D-cells, but I had the others. The aforementioned burglar(s) saw to my flashlights, too.

I have a record collection still. It's not large by any means, but the selections I have are choice. Although I've not seen them in a while (buried in the garage in a crate) I still love my records.

I don't collect much anymore. I still have my fishing tackle, and my PS games, and that's enough for me.

Hey WB, sounds like your just a pack-rat. The burglars probably needed the flashlights to find the darts. :lol:

I collect coffee cups, for some strange reason, and the stranger collection I have is pens. Don't ask me why, but I just love to collect pens. Where I work, we have oooodles of 'Pharmaceutical Representitives' (drug reps) who come in and give us all sorts of goodies for office use, including pens, with thier names and logos on them, and I always snatch up the heavy, metal (Hmmm, 'heavy metal'..... go figure!) pens. I have over 250 right now........ of course, I use them too, they're my favourites!

I collect a number of things:
- I have whole sets of baseball cards going back to the 60's.
- I collect 1/24 scale die cast Muscle cars.
- I inherited an extensive coin collection from my Grandfather. Lots of coins from the late 1700's and early 1800's. Tons of silver and gold coins. Also gold and silver backed paper money.

Apart from games and music my collecting 'hobbies' has died off. When i was a younger (danm i sound old ) my gran got me started on collecting bone china thimbles. I've got a 13 sq (169) timble rack on my wall which is full, and i've also got a couple of smaller racks. (2 racks of 12 and 1 of 16)
I haven't got any in ages though.
My other main collection is of books, i'll repeat that for some of you, books. Paper things with printed text, that you read, no pictures. I'm sure some of the members in here could do with finding out what they are. <strike>Tidus</strike>. One floor to ceiling book case full, one 3 shelf book case, and a shelf on my bedroom wall. In short a lot of books.
Think thats about all i collect.

I have no major collections,but I do pick up a shot class and a plate from every state/major city I visit. So far I have around 20 of each.

I also have a wall mount of logo golf balls. I don't buy any, just find them. The only ones I have bought are from the National Bowling Tourneyment I attend every year. The best I have are: Bud man, Scrubbing bubbles, Jack Danials, One that looks just like a basketball and a few others.

Well..I guess I might as well say my collections...

I have a HUGE collection of horse figurines and I was only missing one out of all the horses from it.

I also have quite a few Puppy in my Pocket,but not all 50. I think I'm more bordering on the line of 20.

I have Pokemon cards and figurines. This one is never going to be completed due to the fact that they keep making more Pokemon....so I gave it up.

At one point,I tried to collect Pound puppies,but that didn't work out.

I had a collection of the dog beanie babies for awhile...but I didn't have the money to keep that one going. I plan on getting back to that one.

The one collection that was completed was the Chronicles of Narnia(if you count that) I have never actually read them,but I may consider it one day.

Y'know,I can't believe I forgot. I also have movie stubs of basically all the movies I've seen since the release of the Final Fantasy movie. Don't know why I keep them though.
