Hello folks.

Aside from cards, what else do you collect? Anything from traveling? The other day, I saw a spoon collection of this lady and found it pretty interesting. They’re all unique and special spoons with stones on it.

I collected stamps and coins with my Dad when I was younger.  

I still have them, and add to the coin collection whenever I bring back extra money from a trip overseas, but really only active in baseball card collecting.

I have a nice little collection of hockey sweaters, soccer shirts and baseball jerseys.  Haven't bought any new ones for a few years.  Sold a few that needed to be moved on and more enjoyed by someone else.

Dust....

Seriously though, beer bottles from around the globe. Particularly Eastern European breweries.

Also t-shirts from all concerts I attend. so we're talking at least 100 at this point.

Hi,

Japanese phonecards, European & US stamps previous 1950, Tribolo Swiss lottery tickets (that's my wife's hobby), used to collect jetons (tokens) & british coins, but stopped years ago...

I started by collecting stamps at 7 yo, almost 50 years later, still about collecting. Lol

There was a discussion on this subject back a month or two ago.

I guess I collect vinyl. But I'm not the type of collector that searches discogs and ebay for rare out of print stuff. I just buy something pretty much every time I watch a band as a way to support the band. 

I also collect autographed baseballs. Mostly from non-baseball players. But also, I only collect balls I can get signed myself. Whether it's in person or a mail in. I don't buy autographs from anyone other than the person signing the ball/whatever outfit that person is working with. 

Picked up several hundred Beer Coasters from various German Bars/Beer Brands...

Let that go once I retired from Military...

Still have a boonie cap full of city pins from Germany around somewhere...

Somewhat long gone, but had 50+ Win '98 games...

Sealed in a box somewhere around the house are dozens of Apple II games/programs....

Before it crashed, had a memory chip with nearly 1k pics of Eagles....

Boxes of 1/64 Nascar Diecasts....

Don't really know what you have stored up, till you try and get rid of it....

Aside from collecting cards, I do collect autographed baseballs (HOFers).  I have 68 signed baseballs out of the 340 HOFers.  If I ever strike the lotto I might be able to afford some of the early players like Ruth.

I also collect star wars items (action figures and ornaments).  I'm actually in the process now of setting up my star wars Christmas tree with all the star was decorations.

I suppose I also collect Hard Rock Cafe pins as I try to pick one up from whatever city I travel to as a way to remember all the places I've been.

I also collect video games.  I have over 600 different original NES cartridges out of a possible 900.  I also have a much smaller collection of Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, and PS2 discs.  I had a collection of action figures in their packagin until I realized just how much room that collection would take up.  I collected coins for a while, but I just never really had the passion for it.  Not like games and cards though.
