Title: Do you collect anything?
Post by: pectacon on September 18, 2019, 09:58:31 am
What's your collection, how extensive is it, what does your family think?

I saw a minute of that collector show on Metv where some guy has every surface in the house covered with memorabilia and the wife is standing there saying a thousand words with just the look on her face...

I've collected shows on DVD, but I'll redo the collection on Blu-ray when those discs (meaning Blu-ray) are more widely available.

I used to but now I am  trying to figure  out how to  get rid of some of it.  I am 76 and the only person I have to leave things to is my daughter-in-law and she  has taken everything she wants (which Helped) some now  to  get rid of more of it.  I have given all of my nieces and nephews some  things that they wanted also. Guess  donation will be  coming.

I have been collecting cookie jars for over 20 years. I've got such an extensive collection now that I've literally run out of room on the shelves! So I'm thinking of selling them all and starting to collect tiny crystal animals. i used to do this when I was a teenager, but my collection got lost in a out-of-state move. So now I'm thinking of starting it again because they are very small and don't take up much room.  :peace:

I collect carousel horses.  It doesn't matter if they are just the horse or if they are actually a carousel or music box.  I just think they are decorated so pretty.

I collect pennies and no I don't look at the dates. Unfortunately I had to cash them in when we moved a couple years ago, but I did get have over $200 worth and could not pick up the bog jar.

I use to collect little turtles.  Only small ones, not anything that wouldn't fit into one of those box displays.  They have been boxed up and are in storage now.  I don't have room to display them anymore.  I think about them every once in a while but haven't gotten them out.  I have 3 little ones on the top of my pc screen.

Did you mean the "big" jar and not "bog" jar.? I looked up bog jar because I didn't know what that was.  :-[  :confused1:

every so often I buy something that just feels like I should buy it, like knickknacks.

I use to collect the small spoons from each state/country visited, then I collected bells, and then angels, and finally crosses.  They were all small and did not take up too much space

I used to collect basketball cards when I was younger. At that time, I was so obsessed with the sport that I had dreams of joining the WNBA. A few friends and I would meet and talk about how many cards we had, etc.

When my kids were young I used to work on a stamp collection while they were taking naps. I really enjoyed learning about the history of each subject on stamps and placing them in the correct spot in my stamp collecting books. I don't work on it anymore however.
