What sort of things do you collect? (1 Viewer)

[HenryDuBrow]

I just might do that yes, put some of them on my computer. I don't run into famous people much, so usually I buy from sellers on e-Bay through places like that. Many of those I collect anyway are long deceased stars.

Besides Stephen King, I also collect...

And this is not even the book yet - just the tray case.
From Taschen!

I've always found her to be very attractive. Very unique, never changed her nose, etc. She stayed the way she was born and I applaud that.


She looks great now, but my favorite period was the 70s, "What's Up Doc", and her other projects during that time. Naturally loved her mega performance with Yentl a bit later.

Her voice has aged a bit like we all do, but she's still pretty impressive.

For the first time in about two years I purchased a coin myself to add to my collection. I bought an 1866 2 cent piece in about uncirculated condition. It has a beautiful luster to it and I just could not pass it up. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for odd type coins. I love pulling them out for others to see and hearing "I didn't even know those existed!". Brings a smile to my face everytime

I used to collect comics, I have boxes full of issues from the '90s. I quit because of rising prices and needing to buy expensive issues to finish story lines. Now, it's just DVDs and Blu-rays. Sometimes I think I would have been better off had I not started when I'm spending hours dusting them all, while thinking about all of the extra cash I could still have.

I've been getting rid of a lot of my old stuff lately. I'm tired of moving it. I sold off all my collectable LP's, sports items, books, model kits, movie items, toys, cigarette lighters and so on. I still have some LP's, 45's and 78's just for fun and not value. I have a small collection of antique radios and radio/phonographs but I tend to fix them up and give them to family and friends rather than accumulate too many. I still have a fair number of books both old and new, and more DVD's than BD's. I flirted with 16mm prints for a while, but it's an expensive and high maintenance hobby so I sold off most of what I had. A decent print of Vertigo was probably the best of the few I bought.

Thats sounds pretty cool! How do you store them/display them? Do you have any friends or family that collect them too?

Wow, I had forgotten about this thread. The "spores, molds and fungus" line was from Ghostbusters when Janine ask Egon if he had any hobbies.
