I like to collect things. :B
 
What are things that you collect? Do you have any really weird collections? What about the things you used to collect as a kid?

I used to collect rocks when I was little. My mom used to hate when I brought them home from school. XD I have since stopped collecting them after that. Nowadays, my collections are stuffed toys. I also like to collect dragon stuff. <3

When I was a kid, whenever I would walk anywhere, I often filled my pockets with random things I found on the ground, lol. I had tons of junk at home after a while. XD

Nowadays I mostly collect different foreign coins, my favorite being my Ukrainian ones.

A while back I had been collecting Megaman NT Warrior cards, simply because nobody really had them and most people probably haven't even heard of the series. :P

I also have a decent Pokemon card collection, including a bunch from the original Basic, Jungle, and Fossil sets (Plus a bunch of good promos). I took a bunch of first edition holos to a card shop one day just to see how much they go for, the guy was going to give me about $4 for the lot of them. Srsly? >:/

ahahahaha... I still do this. Like, if I find a good pen on the ground... I'll pick it up and save it. XD One time at the VA hospital (my dad had a regular DO appointment... nothing serious lol), I picked up this little ball that was on the ground. It was worn and looked old, but I still grabbed it. There was another time... don't remember where exactly, that I picked up this little tiny dinosaur. :3

It's weird because I have this tendency to feel bad for inanimate objects. Like, I just feel better giving them a proper home instead of just lying there on the ground to rot or be run over a dozen times. I know it sounds really stupid, considering how they are lifeless objects. I guess I'm just overly sensitive to things and connect easily to objects rather than real people. I also think this could be an autistic thing. I've read a lot on how many autistic people will feel easily connected to random objects than the people around them. I give them life and make them seem real. I know, it's really stupid... right? ^^;

Well, at least you don't go sticking those plastic googly-eyes on inanimate objects, that would be ridiculous, heh...

*Hides all the objects I've done this to*
<_<

While on this subject, I tend to name objects in my house that have a kind of personality. Like I call the lamp in my garage 'Sparky', because it makes kind of sparking sounds when you go to turn it on and off. XD

Sawsbuck October 3rd, 2017 11:04 AM

Pens, baseball cards, baseball caps, and 90s alt rock/grunge albums on CD (I have around 34 right now)

Got_Eevees! October 3rd, 2017 11:10 AM

I like adding the -y suffix to everything,mostly. And I assign names to different things.
Like:
Hewo fwend! How you today, Crystalline?
I'm Snowflake.
:o Riiight.
-__- Go hack something.

Ida13 October 3rd, 2017 4:51 PM

Like mostly eeveelutions and the sailor moon cats.
When I was younger

Kikaito plush October 4th, 2017 4:29 AM

PageEmp October 4th, 2017 7:37 PM

Nuzruns if that counts

I actively collect anime merch (including BDs and such), manga, and Pokemon merch (including the TCG and Pokemon plushes) currently. Also US quarters. I also have a baseball card collection that I mostly inherited, an MTG collection from when I used to actively collect that, and a small collection of novels I thought were interesting to read from the title that I've never read (I say small but it's something like 80 books in its own right). I also have a sizable collection of PC and console games, but I'm not really actively collecting. I also have some general nerd merch. And some maps. And some CDs. And basketball and American football cards from the '80s and '90s. I have an arguably concerning amount of things that could be considered collections actually.

I don't have counts for the number of things in any of these collections.

Actively including the new stuff? Or did you inherit a collection?

I inherited a collection but I'm still collecting stuff

I haven't gone through everything yet but here's what I have so far

an illegible mess. October 15th, 2017 12:08 AM

pokemon cards, keychains, sketch books... i think that's about it. i used to collect shells and cacti, oddly enough. but i stopped after a while.

Jellicent♀ October 15th, 2017 6:48 AM

Anime and Pokemon merch in general. Shirts, older/sealed manga, plushies, cards, figures, etc. I've put it on hold for the moment until i move and get proper shelving for it all.

TY October 15th, 2017 6:50 AM

pokemon plushies and figures along with model cars. It hasn't gone wild just yet but soon it could be

ZeoStar October 15th, 2017 3:19 PM

I collected hot-wheels but slowly lost them through the years. I'm left with the 3 on my shelf.

Mine are surprisingly clean, the paint is fading a bit though

pastelspectre October 15th, 2017 6:44 PM

i actively collect youtuber merch, from any youtuber i'm interested in. mostly jacksepticeye and dan and phil. i would collect more pewdiepie merch but a lot of his stuff is limited edition nowadays and i'm always broke whenever he releases it. i also collect my little pony merch, from blankets to figurines to t shirts, etc. i also collect littlest pet shop toys like playsets and the small toy animals that come with them.

i used to collect sonic merch but as it's harder for me to find some, that's sort of on halt right now. but uh, yeah.

Shiny-Totodile October 15th, 2017 7:30 PM

Video games it the big one for me, have over 500 and 13 consoles I think? Don't feel like counting them. Have a Pokemon card collection too.

Judge Mandolore Shepard October 15th, 2017 7:35 PM

Some of the things I collect are the following:

hats
video games
books
Lego sets
DVDs
comic books
playing cards
trading cards (Ex: Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic The Gathering)
board games
sports cards

Desert Stream~ October 15th, 2017 7:41 PM

Pretty much anything you can think of that you could collect. Rocks, game boxes, plushes, coins, tea bag wrappers, lol

gimmepie October 15th, 2017 10:04 PM

I've collected a lot of random shit over the years. I still have some of those collections such as dragon statuettes and gems/fossils. I dunno, collecting is just something I do somewhat compulsively.

MaӾiej October 16th, 2017 7:40 AM

I used to collect coins but I stopped sometime before my collection was stolen. I mainly held onto them for possible value later on and because some of them came from a close family member. I just stopped caring sometime before it happened but still wanted to hold onto them. I still somewhat collect coins but only silver coins (i.e. 1964 and older, except for Nickels (1940s only) and Half Dollars (lasted until 1972)), International Coins, and State/ Territory/ National Park/ Whatever else they want to do at this point Quarters.

Shiny-Totodile October 16th, 2017 8:24 AM

Something else I like to collect are running medals, like for marathons and stuff. I'm not a fast guy but I love to run and some of the medals are really, really nice.
