The main things I collect are :

•Autographed Baseball Cards

So as you can see I mainly like all types of cards, and all types of baseball memorabilia. What do you guys collect?

That's not odd at all. My father does the same exact thing.

When I was little I collected key chains. I still have all of them in a box in my basement, but I stopped collecting those many years ago.


Now I stick just to cards. Playing cards are enough for me to handle haha and I can't imagine having another collection. My playing card collection, sports, school, hobbies, and other miscellaneous stuff are enough to keep my life super busy.


@spirits a mom of one of my friends does that! It's pretty cool actually. I just painted a shot glass at a pottery place the other day!

As Baggs said, cards are expensive enoguh already, another collection would ruin me. ::)
If I had some extra money I'd also collect poker chips. And even more money, watches. But those are VERY expensive. ;)

I've never collected anything else, really.  Started at age 24 for no reason at all.  Well, I have a whole bunch of musical instruments I guess but I wouldn't call it a collection of any kind.

I'd kinda like to collect weird old medical stuff but I imagine I could never show it to anybody, ever.

I have collected one thing or another all my life....
 
-collected orginal GI JOE action figures when I was younger (lost them all in a move... >:( )
-coins (anything silver!!!)
-Cocktail Shakers and Decanters
-Baseball Cards
-pocket knives
 
@Kanped...Collecting old Medical artifacts is not that unusual. There is a TV show on I believe either National Geographic or Discovery about a shop that sells unusal items in I believe NY and they constantly sell these.  Believe me people collect all sorts of things and anything odd that is medical is quite collectible.  I saw someone on TV the other day that collects Vacuum Cleaners!
 
@Sabacc....Nice on the Remy...always wanted to try some but never had the chance.  I did recieve a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label for my 10 yrs @ work though.  Its quite nice!

Blue Label is good, but the Royal Salute is in another class altogether.  Of the Johnnies, I used to like Black Label the best, though Blue was very, very good.  Green, feh.

I had the Remy during my honeymoon to my ex-wife back in '91.  It was in Disney World, of all places.  "You just got married, what are you going to do next?"  "I'm goin' to Disney World!"  :))

The Royal Salute was a gift for my dad - I could only lay my hands on a pint bottle, it was $90, and that was BEFORE the price increase...  Can't imagine what it's selling for today, but since I no longer drink, I don't think about it much.

If you want to try a scotch that's good without breaking the bank, and you can get into single malts, try "a'bunadh" by Aberlour Distilleries.  Not too heavy on the peat, and terribly smooth.  That Bushmills I mentioned is another keeper.  Another that I loved but is practically impossible to find in the States is Bushmills 1608 - I got one bottle in the duty-free at Shannon airport and regretted not buying more once I tasted it and realized it's nowhere to be had near me.

Nearly forgot three other things I collected as a kid - coins, paper currency and stamps.  Never a serious collector, but I liked what I had.  I also had a strange habit of making calendars on an old manual typewriter, which I loved.  Time-keeping in general was a big interest of mine, and still is.

I have a collectible pins collection which I've been working on for over 10 years, basically getting one from everywhere in the world I've been, Currently have about 350 different pins, I'm pretty proud of that collection :)

Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

That's impressive!! Come to think of it, I did have one more collection back in the day. Stamps! I would cut the stamps off of all the post and glue them into this book I had. It was silly but I loved it growing up.

My friend's dad has an awesome beer cap collection! He has them all framed and they are hanging in his man room. It's pretty sweet. I plan on looking into doing that as well

That's awesome dude! Did you buy it, win it, or get it signed in person.

I have a lot of autographed baseballs, but my best ones are Yogi Berra, Roy Halliday, Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hammels (I guess you can tell my favorite team at this point) , and my prized gem, a ball signed by Mickey Mantle.

I'm looking to hopefully add a Kirby Puckett ball to my collection someday.
