    I have a large seashell collection - I keep it scattered around the beaches of the world... maybe you've seen it? :biggrin:

    Oh, and baseball and football cards. From when I was a kid. (yes, they had them back then. Shut up Mike)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Corgi WWII Aviation Archive in 1:72. I especially like the bombers. I stopped collecting because there's just not enough room!

    Here's a sample from a fan site.

    I collect early CDs. Basically, CD made between 1982 - 1989 in Japan or West Germany. CDs from that era were generally better made and because I grew up with the format, I am fascinated by the history of it. Here' re some examples....

    I'm starting to collect early US made CDs as well (the first CD made in the US for consumers was, naturally, Springsteen's "Born in the USA"). CDs like these, which I doubt will ever get a proper reissue....

    Nice Cd collection!! I've kinda started a trend of Cd's myself, all the crap I've bought off Itunes I'm replacing with Cd's, no biggie bc you can get most everything cheap.

    yeah, I've seen those seashells lol

    I would go to old Audio Equipment but I don't have any real old figures just newer collectibles:-/ they're still pretty neat though, maybe one day they'll be worth something, say $30 each? by then an old Marantz or pair of Polk speakers will cost around $10,000,000 or so :D

    Dust and old computers. Well I really don't collect old computers I just don't get rid of them. Hell I've still got my first one a Sanyo 555 with a massive 256kb memory and dual 800k floppies.

    Not including debt, I've got a pretty robust baseball card collection from the ealy 80's through the early 90's.

    I quit collecting once Upper Deck became a force in the card world, and pretty soon you were looking for "gold edition cards from subsets from limited edition runs".

    Things got way too complicated for someone that was a "Donruss, Topps, Fleer" and that's it collector, so I boxed them all up and forgot about them.

    My pride and joy card was a Mattingly rookie, simply b/c he was my favorite player.

    I like matchbox cars, some of them are worth a good bit.

    Dad has a HUGE baseball collection, but yeah, with all the different types and brands and bull crap you can barely find any Topps:(

    Books on science and the natural wonders of nature on up to the universe.

    Coins at one time . Indian head pennys were my favorite.

    My sister got me started on Krystonia back when they were made in England before china.

    She got me started on Charming Tails also.

    I got into Tom Clark and Tim Wolfe figurines also.

    I collected all DVDs I ever wanted and then sold a bunch off over the past two years.
    Audio components and speakers for over 10 years. I'm still downsizing that collection and I just sold a pr. of ADS's today as a matter of fact.

    Now it seems I'm collecting Blu-rays....:wink:
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Blenko - Glass

    Don't collect any other type of glass. It's not a huge collection but it displays well. I shop for bargains now mostly and some of the larger pieces I don't have.

    You can see some it in the showcase.
