Just wondering if there are any fellow collectors here.

For myself I collect. . . . . . . .


Depression glass
Jadiete
Pocket Dragons
Elves
Antique bottles
Coke items
Boyds Bears
Anything else that catches my eye


I only do ptr to help support my habit



I come from a family of collectors. My mother collects bells, my father collects old fruit jars, my sister collects pressed glass and boyds bears and my brother collects old cameras. So I have an excuse - its in my blood!!

Any one else????

depression glass? what's that?

I used to collect carousel horse figurines, but nothing lately.

baseball cards. all my money is spent on them, or food. i'm obsessed though. that is the main reason i got into PTR. i need extra cash to bust wax(open boxes).

I don't know if you can really call it collecting but every time I go to a store it seems that if I have the cash I come out with a pair of new shoes, starting to have a nice collection already! (came back home from US with 4 new pairs!)

refidgerator magnets is a new thing for us, those we try to get from every place we visit

trying real hard to collect all books by Danielle Steel and Stephen King (almost there)

used to collect stamps and stickers when younger, not anymore but I still have bunch somewhere.

PEZ

Depression Glass, Carnival Glass, Stoneware Pitchers and Churns, Handmade Quilts, Hand Embroidered Linens, Fiesta Ware, Mickey Mouse Stuff, Snoopy and Woodstock stuff, Old Jewelry - mostly bakelite, New Jewelry, Antique Perfume Bottles, Antique Furniture.... EIEIO !!

Actually, being the only child of an only child I seem to have become the curator of our family's museum of junk. Some of it's rather nice junk. I have ton's of stuff that belonged to my great-great-grandparents.....

Edited because I forgot about the shotglasses, cigarette lighters, NASCAR stuff, and the McCoy and Hull pottery.... I have WAY too much stuff !!

I suppose that I also collect children. I inherited FOUR of them when I married for the second time and then I got pregnant. We were hoping for a "six-pack", but we only have five

Edited again to say that the most important thing of all to collect is memories...

I collect the typical stuff-coins, cards (no sports, just movie/game cards)

I have two Salvador Dali posters (does that count as a collection?) Plus, tons of dragon and unicorn figurines/pictures/plates, candles holders, and swords.

I have a 60" claymore too, not that I can unsheath it

Used to be big into collecting hotwheels and baseball cards.

now I collect shotglasses ...mostly of nascar figures.
got a few daggers too I like
also lighters

And what Pia said about Stephen King I gotta have the Dark Tower Series

does dust bunnies count?


but seriously I collect shot glasses and plates--mainly Indian and animals


would also love to add to my kachina doll "collection"--I only have 2 though

I collect dolphin glassware, plates, and clocks

I collect children, so far I have 3 of them. I'm not sure if I'll get any more though, they're really expensive!

Really I collect shot glasses and bar stuff. I like the old decorative liquor bottles from the 50's.

Porn

You asked, I answered

I have an old doggy doo-doo trashcan full of hotwheel and matchbox cars.
1:24 scale NASCAR cars.
Movie ticket stubs.
Notes from girlfriends.
My room is littered with empty soda cans. If that counts.
Old card collection that I haven't touched for years. FYI, when you buy those grabbag boxfull's of unopened packages from the 70's and 80's, don't try to eat the gum. Very hard, and falls apart into hard little balls into your mouth. I should have known better than to try 30 year old gum.
I download any music video I see on TV and like
MP3's
Entire anime series (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Inuyasha, FLCL/Furi Kuri)
Cats (5 right now, was six up until a few weeks ago, had to put one down)
State quarters

Uhm.... anything else? Can't think of anything else.

i collect indian stuff and romance novels lol (nice mixture eh?)
oh but hey i have indian romance novels so it actually works out quite well!

i was very focused on cards last night when i answered. i alos collect the following:

ex boyfriends
condoms- yes i really do. they come in all differant colors and textures. it's fun.
shot glasses
empty beer and liquor bottles.

I used to collect football cards..but YIKES it became almost an obssession and I had too many..lol I kept a few...trying to think what ones I have that are worth the most...well my favorite although its not worth much I imagine is my Drew Bledsoe autographed rookie card. The DAY the Patriots drafted him in 1993 I sent him two cards via the Patriots address and a letter. He autographed both and sent them back with the SASE I provided. I have alot of Patriots autographs that way. Sam The Bam Cunningham even wrote me back a letter which is almost unheard of.
As far as $$ wise my Doug Flutie 1985 Topps USFL rookie card in almost perfect condition as far as centering etc. Best example of that card I have ever seen

I have some autographs as well from Nascar drivers and one from Rosie O Donnell of all people..lol

When I worked in a group home my clients all loved her show so I wrote to her to just say we loved her show. She sent back an autographed pic..lol

I just dont have the time to collect anymore

Sharp Objects (pocket knives, throwing knives, throwing axes, swords, and more in the future)

Electric guitars .. I have one so far

Does anyone have a 57' fender stratocaster that they don't need?.. I'll give ya 100$!!!!

I collect Disney (snowglobes, figurines, and first prints) and Harmony Kingdom boxes

I collect bad memories, well I have enough of them to be counted as a collection anyway

I collect old cameras, preferably ones that still work (I am a photographer too )

Add 2 Kyle Petty autographs to my list.
And ex-girlfriends
And since I think the general concensus here has been that 3 comprises a collection though most of us are only using 2, as of tonight (here's too much information for ya) 3 girls I've gone all the way around the baseball field with. Take it how you wish.

I collect anything that has to do with teddybears. I have stuffed teddybears and teddybear figurines and teddybear pictures and a teddybear calendar!

I also collect yarn. I just love to crochet and I have tons of yarn in my house!

I collect books too. All kinds. I've got romance books, Stephen King books, Jean Auel books, Janette Oke books and several books about wwII and the Vietnam war.

I think it's safe to say that I qualify as a pack rat. I do come by it honestly though. My whole family is pack rats. My mom collects lighthouses. I have a sister who's whole entire house is jammed with cow stuff. I have another sister who collcets dolphins. My older brother collects indian stuff and eagle stuff. And my younger brother collects anything that has to do with Princess Diana.

Books, boots and shoes.

Although I see them more as essentials than things to collect

Currently collecting car magazines...

I have Road & Track, Car and Driver, Car, AutoWeekly, and more... dating as far back as 1990

Oh yes, and they are monthly magazines (or weekly). Soooo my collection is huge, and all of them are not here at my apartment either


Used to collect other stuff .. but I threw them out when I moved. I have sooooooo much hi and no where to put anything Living in a tiny apartment right now...

I am Collectinf Money $$

But i also collect Basket Ball player Cards, Computer Games and etc. :]

floaty pens -- the kind where you tip it and watch the stuff float around. (man that is a really bad description, but i'm too tired to try to think of a better one) i try to find a new one each time i take a trip. my favorites are King Kong climbing up and down the Empire State Building, and the Yellow Submarine floating around. Oh yeah, and a gift from one of my fellow passengers on the QE2, has the ship floating around in the harbor in with the New York skyline in the background. Oh and at Disneyland I got one with Lady and the Tramp, the scene with the spaghetti noodle, and when you tip it, they move together and kiss.

Stamps and coins.
I am a classical collector

Coins, Baseball Cards, hotwheels, zippos, signed baseballs.

My favorite baseball card has got to be a 1998 Donruss Signatures "Notable nicknames" Ernie banks signed 1/200. Worth around $200.

Signed baseballs so far, McGuire, Griffey, Bonds, Sosa, Hank Aaron, George Brett, and Ernie Banks.
