What else do you collect?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I wouldn't consider myself a true collector of anything as I don't really collect, I just buy what I really like and want (example: I wouldn't buy an expensive Sega Saturn game unless I knew I would have fun playing it). I try to limit my collecting of items and try to collect cash instead :D . So I just limit my collecting to a brand or something. And it saves me ton of space (I HATE clutter, I need my open space).

Anyway, I used to collect official FIFA Match [soccer] Balls. But since I like to keep myself limited, I just collect World Cup soccer balls starting from 2006. I have the 2006 and 2010 Official World Cup Match Balls, and I am currently hunting down a good price for the 2014 World Cup Match Ball. Down the line, I hope to get the reproduction Match Ball from 2002 since that was the first World Cup I could actually remember.

I used to collect Pokemon and Yugioh cards. I used to say I stopped collecting because I got older, but truth be told if they sold the classic packs again (Base, Jungle, and Fossil and the next generation after this) I would still buy them. I believe once Nintendo started to produce the cards that's when the artwork changed, which is why I lost interest.

I used to collect Basketball Cards, but I stopped.

Probably the biggest collection of anything I have is colognes (I have like 20 bottles). But I quit on that because it was getting expensive and there's a high risk of getting fake ones if you buy online for cheaper prices.

I do a little bit of Comic Book and Book collecting of stories and characters I love. I have the Maximum Carnage 1-14 set. Lot of Batman Graphic novels. A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings + the Hobbit box set.

I hardly even collect video games. I limit myself to Sega, but hope to explore Nintendo once I buy a house.

I just graduated college, whenever I get a job, one of my dreams is to have a basement (my man cave) where I can expand my collections.

I don’t know if anyone considers collecting at all but hey it shows an interest and its free. I collect PDF brochures of vehicles. I like to see pictures and feature lists of certain types and brands. Mostly brochures of cars I would not be able to afford :lol:.

Don't judge me and my exciting life.

Video game strategy guides. I have several hundred and they took up a ton of my weight allowance on my last move.

Lone Wolf was awesome. I remember playing the books when I was younger, that and Freeway Warrior. Man those were the good ol' days.
