Stamps? G.I. Joes? Barbie Dolls? Elvis memorabilia?
What is it? Share, share share

As for me..I have a few things I suppose I mainly collect Michael Jackson memorabilia. Big shocker huh?

How about you?

nothing

Awww...you should start, go with something cheap like stamps would be my suggestion. I suppose some could consider DVDs a "collection" or CDs. Hmmm In that case, I have 3 "collections."

a friend of mine collects original my little ponies

I collect books. I don't have too many valuable ones, though I do have some, but I have an interesting collection of modernist and twentieth-century literature and also a good many books on Russia. I also collect books on travel writing.

Great to see you 2the9s - how have you been?

movies...80's memorabilia.

nothing special.....I do have a lot of keychains though. I'm addicted to them. I had to take some of them off because too many will mess up your ignition. So I'll put them on zippers of my bags now.

I have 100s of CDs, and stamps, but I am not actively collecting any more, they already take up way too much space. I don't even buy books, they cost too much and I only read them once. Same with DVDs, I never watch a movie more than once so I don't see the point in it

I collect scars.

never really thought of it this way but i do collect vinyls
12"s 45s, anything

if they're in rarely good condition (still in its shrinkwrap) i never listen to it...

but the majority of them i listen to on my new record player

How goes the music career?

2the9s said:

It is going alright, I'm auditioning a female singer for my new project this Friday - so I am hoping that goes :

I'm also recording a new song called "UpDown" that will be on iTunes as a single pretty soon. Thanks 4 asking!

Besides Prince music...

--Marilyn Monroe stuff--I have all of her movies, assorted 'coffee table' books, biographies, magnets, posters, magazine articles, collectibles/knick knack type of stuff, etc. I Marilyn.

--contemporary art; no one super famous (yet) , but a few Seonna Hong prints, and then mostly stuff I've purchased from staff art shows from the museums where I've worked. The stuff I really like is too expensive for my museum salary...

--books, I guess, mostly either art criticism, art history (esp. contemporary and art of India), or books having to do with French things, or Africa. I've tried to cut back b/c my bookshelf is overflowing!!

--magnets (the cheesy touristy kind) from places I've been and souvenirs my friends bring me from their travels: items like woven baskets from Namibia, jewerly box from Morocco, elephant figurine from Thailand, etc.

--quotes/lyrics that I find humorous or interesting or sort of inspiring...I write them all down in journals...

--the "new" quarters from each US state (no idea why I started, but the completist in me won't let me stop...)

I have a large seashell colection that I keep scattered along the beaches of the world. Perhaps you've seen it?

Used to be a Prince stuff collector, I still have the collection (mostly vinyl)
At the moment not really collecting anything (pictures maybe, on my computer)

Memories

EXACTLY a lifetime of new ones to be made with your family complete now

Natisse said:

Complete? Who said it was complete? I'm addicted, I want more! You are right though, twists and turns whichever direction still gives us experiences to cherish.

I collect pictures of naked ladies.


Edit: spelling! Got too excited there...

i'd rather not discuss anything that i collect

since im packing it all right now, i wish i could just burn it and be done

I used to collect comic books and everything put out by certain musical artists. In recent years, though, I've grown to generally hate "stuff" , and I've thrown out or given away hundreds of dollars worth of much that I own.

My wife, a card-carrying packrat, thinks I'm insane.
