The barman in my local has a collection of all the action men, Cindy dolls and dinky cars all still in their packages, its worth a bloody fortune.

Mugs. It's a small but growing collection but each is from an event/place/whatever that has a great memory attached to it.

I collect Zippos.

Also, I don't necessarily collect playing cards/gambling related things but if I see something that I like, with regards to playing cards, I'll buy it. I guess I have a small collection, but I don't "collect" them per-se.

My name is URL

I've a small collection of old pharmacy/medicine and Irish brewers bottles. It's all in the attic and I haven't bought any in over two years though, so I don't think I could consider myself to be a collector.

I get a programme from every theatre show I go to so I suppose that's a collection. My friends brother had a wall in his bedroom entirely covered in beer mats.

I really like the various designs on €2 coins, especially the really rare ones. I got one of those new Irish ones last week and wanted to keep it. I can't afford to collect them though so I reluctantly spent it :rolleyes::(

I've collected many things over the course of my years.

Stamps
Call cards
Bottle caps
Beer mats - Cloth & cardboard
Stickers
Kinder Surprise Tiny Terrapins
Corgi Cars
Metal base Toy Soldiers
Star wars Figures - Old & new.
Tie Pins
Millennium Punt coins

I don't think I've any of them left any more well bar the Star wars though they're up in the Attic somewhere. Ijust decided to get rid of everything after a while of collecting it.

Used to collect empty bottles of buckfast in college with my flatmates - we had an impressive collection by the end of the year.

I have something of a collection of football jerseys, though haven't bought any new ones in a long time. I also hold on to tickets to football matches I've been to, I don't really know if this is a collection though.

I know a girl who collected special edition cigarette boxes. Her bedroom had one whole wall lined with them.

Columbia

National Geographic magazines and Soviet-era service medals.

Dr Strange

I knew a lad who started a toenail clipping collection once.

Reader1937

Travel books from over 50 years ago. Then go to the places and try and use the books as a guide. Makes for interesting times.

I like collecting coins.

I'd really love to have the Quarters from all 50 US states

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_State_Quarters

I started collecting them when I went over in 2004 and continued it when I went again in 2008. I'm going over this year. I think I have 14 different ones at the moment. It's a long shot, but now they've all been issued, I'd love to have a collection of them all some day. :cool:

Coriolanus

Unused hobbies. Can't stick with anything.

I have a large collection of shoes that don't fit and clothes I don't like, cheap fashion is a false economy.

Now as for premeditated collections I think I'd like to start one of trinkets as I don't have the means to collect antiques or bricabrac even though I have a good knowledge of it.

I was given someone elses stamp collection from the 50s, it doesnt feel the same as building something up yourself.
