What do you collect?

[Leslie]

The muscle car thread put me in mind of hubby's die cast car collection, I'm wishing I could post pics ( soon :D )

Myself, I collect old and new brand name tins, like they used to (and sometimes do now) sell products in. I have a collection of about 50 now, and really enjoy it. :)

What is your collection of?

what do i collect?

dust :D

i kinda tried to give up hoarding stuff seeing as i have enough paper, models, card, comp stuff etc to take up most of the flat. i do look for nice 50s, 60s and 70s shot glasses though, but i have a limited collection.

[fury]

The tabs off of pop/beer cans. :headbang:

I have a big coffee can full of them.

[greenfreak]

Paper and lots of it. (I can't throw old bills away-it drives my boyfriend crazy)

A friend gave me some Swarovski crystal a while back. Although I'd like to add to the collection, it's quite expensive. I haven't done anything with them yet.

I collect the new state quarters but I've fallen behind. I used to have to go to the bank for my job and my friend Mala at the bank would always tell me when a new quarter was put into circulation. I haven't gotten a new one in a while.

Other people collect green stuff for me. I've gotten every green product by Bath & Body Works, green coffee cups, green beanie babies (bunny/frog/bears), matchbooks, even green plastic balls from the kid's playground at Burger King. It's really nice because I always hear, "I saw this and I thought of you." :)

I saw this and thought of both Leslie and greenfreak:D

Perhaps you should read the whole paragraph next time when you're looking for something to roll your eyes at.

I love those things! :headbang:

It's a shame you can't find them around here anymore :(

[HomeLAN]

Broken dreams.

[Luis G]

:D:D broken relationships....

[karlwb]

:coffee:

I collect Gerry Anderson stuff ( Space:1999, UFO, Thunderbirds )

I also collect model air and space craft ( the sort you build yourself)

But no spores, moulds or fungus.

[flavio]

Books, video games, CD's, DVD's and some action figures...mostly Gundam and Spawn.

[AlladinSane]

I used to collect keychains when I was a kid. I may have 150+ of them in some dimensional gap here. I also herited an 'old money' collection from my father.

[alex]

I collect coins $$$$$. I also have a die cast car I bought straight from Square D Company (complete with company notice of sale) when I worked there. What was that guys name .......Kenny Wallace?....it was his last year. I also have a couple of really old Royal Daulton vases that my Grandmother gave me :headbang:

Well... getting your friends to steal them for you is still wrong. Think about the children who will be heart broken when they go to Burger King and notice that all the green balls are missing!

:D

[greenfreak]

They no longer have a ball pit so they're all gone now. Perhaps I should have turned in her 8 year old son. Would that have been the honorable thing to do? These days be would probably be charged with a felony and put behind bars. :eek:

I kept them in my trunk for the longest time and whenever I would make a turn, you could hear them rolling to one side of the trunk. I didn't mind-it reminded me of him. :)
