Nothing more than the virtual 'heads of trolls' have been collected lately, although I am fond of collecting and redistributing legal tender.

About the only thing I collect these days are chores.  It used to be so much simpler in life when I was collecting baseball cards.

I collect cards and coins. There are so many of them that it's hard to keep them up to date with my collection. it can be a expensive hobby too.

When I was younger I collected all sorts of things. Yo-Yo's, Pokemon Cards, coins... Now the only thing I "collect" is video games. I really just buy them when I want to play them and keep them, but don't actively seek out any particular genre/hardware/software for a specific collection; they just grow as a library does.

I've tried to simplify and not collect much but I admit to a few things I can't pass up .... hourglasses, yarn and kittens.

I love fabric. I think I have more fabric than I can sew in my lifetime. My sister bought me a sign that says "She who dies with the most fabric, wins!"

I collect copper, aluminum, brass, any metal that i can recycle for cash. I know this doesn't follow with the collections everyone else has, but it's fun to separate the different metals in my garage and watch the bins fill--when i need cash, it's like a savings account!

I collect elephant figurines.  When I moved a couple years ago, I got rid of alot of them.  I still have over 100 or more.  I also have a floor lamp that is in the shape of an elephant.  Also like to collect mini schnauzer statues.

As a kid, I collected baseball cards, comic books, and rocks.  The baseball cards were sold YEARS ago when I was a kid to get more useles comic, the comics are collecting dust in my basement and the rocks have been poured into help make the cement stronger for a basketball pole!

I don't officially collect anything, but I grew up with hoarders (not like the crazy people on tv) so I have too much stuff in my house!

I used to collect dolls and now i am at the age i need to get rid of them, Have given a lot of them to my nieces. but ran out of them as they are not into collecting them and have no granddaughters to give them too, so guess i will just sell them and donate some of them.

I collect Disney pins and things with frogs or fairies that I like.   I try to not get too carried away, though.  I just pick things that I love and keep the collection small.

I collect Hello Kitty stuff, I got into her later, so I don't have that much.  I tend to have nicer stuff than a kid collecting would have, and more useable stuff, too.  Not sure if that counts as collecting or not.

I do not collect anything and have tried to reduce what I have my mother passed last year and she collected everything and anything that was on sale or free but her main collection were porcelain dolls she had hundreds of them I have yet to go thru everything I decided then I do not want to leave my kids with a collection of things that they have no interest in and likely to end up in a local landfill

I collected the state quarters.  My sons took the quarters and used them for the old arcade games.  Now, I don't collect much except things that I can use on y job.  My sons still ask, "Are your collecting those quarters?  Are they kidding me?

I collect cool electronics, not to play games but to make my working from home experience even better. I like having an iPad and iPhone because it is light weight and the apps makes it easy to be creative, otherwise I could get writer's block.  :BangHead:

I try not to get too attached to things, because we move around a lot, and sometimes, we have had to leave behind stuff, which had some kind of emotional value. So, I dont collect anything, and less is more according to me.
