So what do you collect?
 
And I don't mean Fleetwood Mac stuff ;)

Books? Weapons? Games? Toys?

Thought it would be interesting to know this about anyone who cares to share.

I've recently begun re-collecting Smurfs. :shocked:

I used to collect rubbers, or as you guys call them erasers. Then i had a stamp phase when I was like 11 (so tragic), but at the moment nothing :lol:

I collect Beethoveniana -- mostly books, general-interest journals, CDs of course, & even throwaway stuff like T-shirts, jackets, & mugs. I might start collecting Beethoven stamps too.

I also collect letter openers. I have letter openers from all over the world, including a scrimshaw opener from Japan, a teak opener from Ireland, an opener from Israel, & an Old Spanish opener from the early days of California.

I used to collect carnival glass, but that got too expensive & difficult to find.

I collect first editions of books by Miss Manners, Bernard De Voto, & Jacques Barzun.

I also collect The Underground Grammarian pamphlets by Richard Mitchell. I have about 70 percent of them already.

Well I think I have too many collections really....I need to stop really....besides Stevie Mac stuff :

I collect: Don Henley/Eagles....other music artists but not really collections maybe cds/rare cds...of the ones I like/Boston/Heart/Natalie Merchant etc....
**Josie & The Pussycats **comic book /cartoon (but not the stupid movie) I used to watch the cartoon when I was little in the early '70's /and read the comic book.
**some Garfield/M & M's candy stuff/too much 'junk' as my mom would say....I need to start selling on ebay.....thats probably the main stuff though really....:shrug:

I collect sea glass. Whenever I go to the ocean I look for it. Most of the pieces are brown, white or green. Blue is rare. If I find a blue one it's like finding gold. I got all my nieces and nephews interested in collecting it too.

I just got this mental image of video taping someone asking a stranger to help them carry a box of rubbers to their car (stranger thinks they are erasers) and on the way you "accidentally" drop them and its a gross of condoms :lol:

I love carnival glass and have often thought of starting a collection. Where do you keep yours? When I was a little girl, there was a house I used to pass on the way home from school that had a big window with lots of panes. The owner had different pieces of carnival glass on the pane's shelves. I was so fascinated by that!

mylittledemon 11-23-2009 09:22 PM

Never even heard of carnival glass... i just googled it. interesting!

My house is FULL of collectibles! I collect Barbie dolls, Fisher Price Little People accessories, video games, video game systems, and arcade based toys. I also have old lunchboxes, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and Mickey Mouse toys ( not really a collector of them, but have had them a long time!) My husband collects Halloween collectibles and toys from the '60s, and my son collects Power Rangers! We have nowhere near enough space for all of this. Of course, we also have lots of books and music too!! It's an interesting mix!!
