Title: What do you collect
Post by: smithjcsdfw on December 05, 2011, 09:36:20 pm
Growing up my dad got me started collecting stamps and pennys.  As I grew older my collections expanded to model railroad equipment and finally bills.  :)   So what do you like to collect?

I collected sports cards for over 35 years. I had over 250,000 a one time, but have sold some of the
collection off over the years.

I start to collect cards now. Yugioh cards to be specifics. It's a fun game and I love playing it as a hobby.

I'm collecting sets of the state quarters for me and my nieces/nephews.  Been fun looking at every quarter I get to see if it's one I "need" for the collection.

I also collect coffee mugs - mostly from my trivia contest, but also from various places I visit.

I used to collect Star Wars stuff (original trilogy).  I still have some action figures and lots of cards from the movie (no complete sets though).  Figure some day they may be worth something to someone...

My collection is of elephants.  My uncle got me started when he gave me my aunt's prize elephant after her passing.  I have them in all sizes and materials (except ivory).  They range is size from 1/4in to over 4ft tall.  Also have a small collection of schnauzer statues from my mom.

I collect friends.  I don't like to accumulate material things but I think of everyone I meet as a potential friend.  I'm single and I believe in being socially diversified which means that I spend plenty of time with my beloved friends.

When I was younger I was fanatatic sports card collector.  I outgrew that hobby as I aged and as the hobby itself seemed to fade.  I doubt it is nearly the overall business it was a decade + ago.  Today, I collect pictures of houses as I am looking for one and trying to determine the interior styling I like and perhaps want to get.

I collected music boxes for years, but when someone knows you collect certain items it seems like that's all you get for awhile.  I guess I just like to pick up things, not collect, but if I like something I am probably going to buy it.

I collect depression glass. But is it still collecting if you re-sell it on eBay?  8)

I mostly get them at estate auctions, love, love, love auctions, haven't been in a while, though. Collecting them has made me an expert, these glassware items used to be  premium items given free for buying things during the depression and years afterward. Some people may remember getting freebies from gas stations, in laundry detergent boxes, etc.

My personal favorites are the round butter dishes, they are quite exquisite. Sometimes I keep them, but end up selling them because I might buy them at an auction for a couple of bucks or less and re-sell them for $50 or more.

I also used to collect salt and pepper shakers, but don't know where they all are with moving around a lot. I met a gentleman at an auction who collects toothpick holders. He boasted of having 500+ of these. I would have never thought of collecting those.

Nothing anymore because couldn't settle on any one thing to collect like too many different things and have too much stuff already.  Used to collect penguin stuff, angels, rabbits and then just stopped before I built up any more stuff.  I am trying right now to declutter and have tendencies to junk up my residence (yea I watch hoarders and it definetly reminds me of myself lol) I have kept my stuff as described above but don't want to add anymore to it.   :dontknow:

I guess I don't really have a set thing to collect, but I do love craft supplies and pick them up when they're on sale.
\Paints, ribbons, stickers, decorative papers, etc..  You never know when you will need something for a project!

I been collecting anything with wolves on it over the years. I also collect anything about 2pac but, I plan to sell it and just listen to his music from now on. I started to collect NBA cards but, I quit doing it because I didn't know if it will worth anything after a few years. My plans was to collect as many NBA cards as possible and sell them or pass them down to my kids one day.
