I've been collecting Maglites for a while.  Different colors, sizes, rechargeables, etc.  If the power goes out at least I'm still able to find my beer  O0

I collect autographed baseball cards. I do most of my collecting through the mail. I write a letter to a player and send him the card or cards I want signed and include a sase for him to send it back in. Most sign for free. I enjoy getting the ones from the guys that played in the 50's the most. They are great guys. Sometimes they add extra cards and write short notes to ya.

I have collected rare succulents and cactus for many years.  Stopped buying them, but still maintain a great selection.  I also collect Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) artwork.  It's very festive, happy and celebratory.  I have even started designing my own ceramic skull pieces (I will have to show them off sometime).   

I also have a (Hear, See, and Speak no Evil) monkey collection that I started a few years back.  It is still growing.  My garage is filled with beer bottle caps from around the world.  I have thousands, upon thousands of caps.  I'm hoping to create a huge art piece from them... most likely a festive skull Day of the Dead skull.

I think that's about it.... I guess I don't have to say it, but-can-you-say O-C-D??? Or maybe pack-rat is more fitting??? No, I take pride in these things..... seriously.

I collect too many things.

Toys, Little metal D&D figures (even though I don't play D&D, I paint em ) Comics, Books, Magazines, Music, Movies, Video Games.

Actually I pretty much ran out of room for stuff years ago.
Remember to never take my advice seriously (unless I'm being serious) and you'll do alright.

well that seems like a pretty bright thing to do!

Wanna trade?  I collect 100 dollar bills.  If you send me one, I'll send you a nice crisp $50 to you.

You know, I've never thought about trading.  once I get a hold of one of those elusive and rare $50, I like to hold onto them....especially if they are given to me. 


Nice try.... :*))

I collect beer bottle caps from the different craft brews I try, I put them on magnets and they go on my cellaring fridge where I keep the beers that could handle some age.

May be obvious but I also collect tattoos. Twisty puzzles too (rubiks-like puzzles).

Franklin Mint pocket knives...... i know the franklin Mint stuff isn't really worth anything but I started collecting them about ten years ago so I would have a collection to pass on to my son one day. He really loves them and LOVES the fact that they will be his someday.
