What, if anything do you like to collect? Most of us have something that interests us enough to start a collection, books, vinyl, CDs, die cast cars/trucks, something.
I've been collecting concert shirts ever since my first show way back in 1980, RUSH. I probably have over 150 concert, Halloween, and heretical shirts in my collection. I wear one every single day.
I also have a small library of books that I started collecting in high school. It's 95% horror fiction, as well as books about Halloween, witch craft, the occult, vikings, Lord of the Rings, and horror films.
I'm a barrel of laughs at family gatherings.

Anybody got something weird in their collections? Don't respond with "the souls of my enemies". Let's be real here.

The souls of my enemies-
Just kidding! I collect old posters from french magazines that cost dirt cheap. Well, I started collecting them at least, it's not always that I go to that second hand book store to find rare magazines. All of them are from the 90s and I believe none of their new versions are released today.

magazine collection I something Id love to get into but finding stuff in great quality is hard nowadays. Id love a shelf of paper culture from all the decades, just to see the design and photos and fonts etc

james hyman did a big project on paper literature a few years ago, he has a warehouse of it now.

who's jousting? I don't think I'm even better than me. But someone who collects paper goods from 90s morocco sounds interesting. I hope to hear more about it

I have a collection of Commodore 64 & Amiga 500 games (hundreds for C64, way less for Amiga), as well as them machines in original boxes. I also have a Sinclair Spectrum (maybe around 100 tape games) and Amiga CD32. The games often look so bloody cool, meaning how they are packed and all. Way rarely a game is great to play, heh.

The thing is, that it requires space. Okay, not as much as collecting cars or sex dolls, but anyway I cannot store them in attic but in my small flat. The music (CD & vinyl + memorabilia) collection takes the biggest part, though.

I have to confess, I also collect die cast cars and trucks(hot wheels, matchbox, M2, AW, etc) with our 7 year old grandson.
It's a lot of fun.
And I like to collect Halloween items.

I used to collect old postcards and letters but it became emotionally quite draining.
