What do you guys collect?

I collect keys, Fallout/other video game stuff, and broken promises and crushed dreams.

I also have a ton of books, including comics, but I feel that's less of a collection and more of a hobby.

Energy can tabs. Pic related was older, but it has a helluva lot more tabs, now. I'll stop when the tabs reached the end of the chain.

I used to do the same with tabs from soda. Had them on a chain just like that. No idea what happened to them.

Clearly this is some sort of conspiracy.

Movies. I had around 200 but I needed money, so I sold most of them.

I see you have all 4 Scary Movies.

I confess to owning those as well.

Nothing like movie reference jokes from a decade and more a go.

Platoon was most impacting. I first saw it when I was ten. Oliver Stone was in Vietnam. He admits to drama, but it's just a movie and movies can never be realistic. Maybe if bullets came out the screen...

I forgot all about Platoon. I think I have that around here somewhere.

I collect bottle caps. Well I'm not really collecting them.

I'm really just trying to have an unhealthy amount to show how little of a life I have.

You can find some weird shells at the shooting range.

edit: Thinking I might make chess pieces or something out of them someday.

I look for older bullet shells/casings etc
I have an uncle who has been lucky to find several from the civil war era.

Telephone insulators, MLP toys, car, truck, and aircraft models, old bottles, railroad items (namely signals), road signs, model trains, Zoids models, cassettes, 80's toys, and a few other things.

I have a truckload of vintage MAD magazines sitting in my closet(About 12 issues!). They all keep getting torn though, so they're not worth as much as you think.

We had several old MAD mags as well, but we had a fire and lost them.

I lost my 80s toys in the same fire mentioned above. What kinda toys have you got?

You mean you rack up debt

or you actually collecting?

If so what portfolio do you work?

Lol, no. I mean I have debt, as in student loans etc.

But you don't have to call me, I always pay up. Never been turned in.

Vinyl records. I haven't counted in a long time but I know that I have over 200.

I admire a good vinyl record collection. My cousin has several hundred as well. I'm very jealous.

My tears.

Besides G1 MLP's, I have some Stomper trucks and cars, Record Breakers cars, slot cars, Hot Wheels (several manufacturers) and a few playsets, Ertl tractors (I had a bunch as a kid, and now I cringe because those same ones go for big bucks at auctions), Wheeled Warriors (also had several as a kid. Only have 2 currently) and some odds and ends. Would like to get More Stompers, but they go for insane prices nowadays (one semi I had as a kid, that I still have the incomplete shell to sells for around $500 now :( ).

I still collect CDs from bands I like or discover, Pokemon cards, and some video games

I have an embarrassing amount of Pokemon cards.

At 8/7/17 10:35 AM, Zornuzkull wrote: STD's...

Gotta catch them all

Video games, CDs, LPs, movies... But the size of the single collections are relatively small. There's only so much money I can spent on collecting stuff per month and most of the year, I don't buy anything new since I think "naah, have to watch/play/listen to the older stuff first" and then I continue to NOT do that and not buy new stuff either... so yeah. I guess I am a pretty bad collector.

I only buy things a few times a year.

Here's an interesting set of books. The complete 5 book set of Friday the 13th original novels that the defunct publishing company, Black Flame, put out around the mid 00's.

Aside from being cool fan memorabilia, they are out of print and pricey to buy now.

I've seen individual books going for hundreds of dollars on Amazon.

Oh wow! I am insanely jealous of the books. I love Friday the 13th.

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

I never bend or fold them. If a paperback has frayed corner, I glue it together. I even put desiccants I get from beef jerky bags around my bookshelves to protect from any possible moisture.

I'm a terrible person. I fold over the pages in books to save my place.

I would wait it out, I would not pay more than $10 for it actually. It is rare, but in my opinion (barring Charizard from the Base Set which is overhyped and weak as hell due to its cost drawback), there are other valuable cards too. I need to look through my collection again soon.

I wouldn't pay more than 10 either, but I know Neko knows more about their values than I do.

My cards are in stacks with bands around them. :-(

I don't really care about the rarity, just what I like, the cards I've bought so far have been like 3$ a piece, and I'm almost up to 20 cards to complete my case.

There's nothing wrong with collecting something just because you like it. I know I paid too much for several things in my fallout collection. Don't care. I wanted them.

NG merc I guess. I doubt anyone owns more besides Tom himself of course.

Otherwise I am a sucker for those monthly magazine collections. My favourite being one called "Beasts and Beings" which has the coolest figures of - beasts and beings.

Also I have like 30 slime (Dragon Quest) keyrings. Just because.

Otherwise, I'd collect dogs if I could. Give me all your dogs.

Take my dogs, please. They're annoying as fuck and their barking makes me want to put a knife in my skull so the ringing will stop.

Reward them for not barking. If they learn that being good gives tje, treats they will be keen to do it more.

I'm so done with having pets when these ones finally die.

I remember when my last dog was alive thinking every now and then how *nice* it'd be after she has finally passed that I won't need to walk something every day no matter the weather or pick up shit again, or be covered in hairs for half the year, plus vet bills and always having to plan your life around your dog.

What did I do when she did pass? I got two dogs. TWO. I went double or nothing hard.

I collect Video Games from Consoles and PC. I think i have around 200

Is that a UK thing or do they do the US too?

You don't need a reason. <3 Dragon Quest

Like, I will legit be an old cat lady, with at least 12 cats.
