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....

Does your signature "Go Big Blue" refer to University of Kentucky basketball team? I am in Louisville, Kentucky and can get you all the Derby and U of K stuff you want...

"On, on, U of K, we are right for the fight today,
Hold that ball and hit that line;
Ev'ry Wildcat star will shine;
We'll fight, fight, fight, for the blue and white
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
We will kick, pass and run, 'til the battle is won,
And we'll bring home the victory."

Yeah, Donnie, I'm a UK grad and originally from Luavull. I don't make it the Derby most years, but my Mom picks up the glasses for me. I've got over a hundreds (lots of duplicates) and have Preakness, Belmont Stakes, and Breeders' Cup glasses too. (I've been to all these races). I have most packed to survive a big LA quake.

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]

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!!

I used to collect all different kinds of action figures, but now I just collect Wonder Woman ones. I also have the Halloween comics.

[estranged4life]

compact discs is my prime enjoyment in the world of collecting.

[hippilil86]

I move too often and have way too little space to collect anything, at the moment. Someday, maybe.

[mylittledemon]

Yeah I had about 800 CDs I sold before moving back to NZ. I still regret it.

I don't think I really collect any one thing...

As a general rule, I hate "stuff", and like to have as little of it as possible (speaking of that, anyone want a Wild Heart tour program? PM me). That said, I collect Tiki-culture related stuff- memorabilia, historical artifacts, everything. Its a major interest of mine (amongst many.. although this seems to be the only one that involves physical collecting)

Oh, and anything "Mac Tonight".

Remember that little Con- Tiki doll that hacked up Karen Black in Trilogy of Terror?
