What Other Stuff Have You Collected?

Post by **durkada** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 2:37 pm

You gotta discriminate between the collector and the pack-rat on this one.

I have over a thousand books -- virtually every book since I was 10 years old. But I'm not actively collecting them -- I simply don't discard them when done. That's pack-rat mentality.

The same could probably be said about my game library -- outside of the the slimDVD cases, I don't really collect. I'm not trying to make a nice shelf with all original Dreamcast games, or anything close to that.

Boardgames, however, I do collect -- several walls in the finished basement are hidden behind shelves, themselves, all caving in under the weight of so many pieces of cardboard and wooden bits.

Duran Duran laserdiscs and bootleg CD's

Post-apocalyptic films (The Day After, Threads, etc)

Briefly flirted with Schick Injector razors

At one point I had over 100 gigs of porn, but these days I could amass that in a matter of a week, tops

But at the end of the day I don't care about sex, or razors, or Simon LeBon, or family, or my health. Only Sega matters.

I've never actually "collected" anything other than games, but I did buy hot wheels and various action figures when I was younger. And LEGOs! God, I love LEGOs. Greatest toy in the world, honestly.

Bottles, comics, figures, books, cards, magazines, board games, worthless credit hours, ticket stubs, records, pets. More I can't recall.

Well over the years I've lost so much of my nostalgia that it makes me sick thinking about it. Boxes of G1 Transformers which I plan on replacing someday through winning a huge ebay auction. Legos, dammit i lost all my legos too!

The stuff I've actually been collecting for awhile now is Valiant Comics. They're not terribly valuable but I get them graded and have a few boxes of them in CGC 9.8 condition which makes them pretty valuable. Other than that I just collect Kids, have 4.

Magic: The Gathering. So time consuming...

Also dabbled a bit into Mage Knight. None of my friends had the attention span to have that habit last very long.
