miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Cool - same here, at least in the first two... I collect: StampsCoins & also Currency NotesTelephone Cards from different countriesSmall statuettes of Lord Ganesha (the elephant headed Hindu God) - I got well over 300 different statuettes of Him.Had a sizable collection of butterflies & moths, but gave up a few years back as it was getting incresingly difficult to maintain in absence of spare time.That's all I can recall at this moment - I've always been into collecting stuff (since childhood) and am sure there are more weird collections lurking around in every nook and corner of my home.

moogie 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 What a good idea this topic is. It's always interesting to see what other people collect.I collect Beswick horses. They were made in England by John Beswick Company and are made of fine porcelain. Beswick was bought out by Royal Doulton in the 1980's and then the factory was closed down about 3 years ago.The Beswick factory started out by making tableware and then expanded into making animals. The horses are my favorites and it's the largest line of all the animals. Each model comes in a variety of colors and some particular colors are more rare and so more valuable.I have about 60 horses and they range in value from about US$30.00 (for a foal) up to US$2500.00. My oldest piece is about 60 years old. It's a shame that there won't be any new models now, but hopefully the existing pieces will continue to go up in value as time goes on.

seanooi 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I use to collect stamps when i was young. I stopped when i reached my 6th album. It was fun back then. But after that I felt that it was too troublesome, that's why i stopped. Now I collect computer junks. Hardware and software. I just think that they're so cool.

Inspiron 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I used to collect stamps and phonecards when I was a kid.. Thanks to the introduction of computers to my life, I now collect freewares that does great things.. Some on my list are Firefox, Google Earth, Skype etc. There are many more which may not be so common to the rest of us.. Also, I collect Operating Systems.. Yes I do.. I have a collection of them since Windows 95 till now Windows XP. I also had some Linux operating systems.. Ok enough of software collections.. How about something touchable? Magazines are also part of my collections.. My cupboard is fulled filled with magazines.. I guess I've never read them all but seeing them nicely packed and arranged inside my cupboard made me feel so nice..And lastly, I collect digimons.. Those digital monsters where u can feed them everyday and bring them into battles with your friend's digimons. I've collected afew versions but I've stopped collecting as its trend has stopped.. They are becoming antiques now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wassie 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 well i use to collect 5 cents coins, i had about 1000 of those, but then came the euro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolarX 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I collect euro coins.Every country in Europe who has the euro has an individual image on the back of the coin. So it's fun to collect every coin with every back image from every country (I think there are over 13 countries who have the euro). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xaetos 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 CDs. I only have about 50 now, but now that I have a job and nothing else to spend it on, I'll have more soon enough. Most of them are some form of metal or alternative music. I have a whole shelf of them XDI also have almost 200 bouncy balls. Theres a pinball machine in one of the stores at the mall that uses bouncy balls, and after you lose you get the ball. So whenever I'm at the mall (which isn't too often lately..) I spend whatever quarters I have on bouncy balls. Hmm.. I think that's it. CDs are the big thing, even though I still download a lot of my music. I figure if I spent the money on the CD, the artist shouldn't care if I download the song to have on my laptop. Slightly off-topic xP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I have a collection of baseball cards but I don't buy them anymore. lol When pokemon cards came out I was crazy about them. I think I was 8. I had all the gameboy games and stuff. I had a pretty big collection of pokemon cards but eventually tried selling them or gave them away. I never went for Yugioh becuase I figured it would end up like Pokemon plus it got old and boring. lol I attempted to start a collection of stamps, that didn't work but I still do have my baseball cards. I am gonna keep them til I turn 60 and pass them on to my kids and have them keep passing them down. Ought to make one of the future generations rich.

brandice 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I haven't get any new baseball cards for a few years, but i have quite a large collection. (I'm actually going to start selling them off soon) I also collected happy meal toys and pez dispensers but I've given most of them away to my nieces. I'm sort of going through a phase of life now where I don't want as much stuff. I would consider myself in the past a collector of collections- a packrat. I don't know if I could give up the office supplies collection though. That one is really weird. I collect index cards in all sizes and colors and manila file folders to keep my collections of papers organized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
