[uw-lifter96]

i collect shot glasses, i have about 70 of them. no particular certain glass (a lot of people collect hard rock cafe glasses, i just do any shot glass that i like) but i try to get unique ones or that are different from the norm, or for stuff i like.

[Isaac Wilkins]

Shot glasses, music, and tickets (concert and movie that I was at. I used to collect baseball and M:TG cards, which I still have floating around here somewhere.

[SobaAddict70]

I don't think anyone truly gets rid of their M:tG cards. I plan on keeping mine for at least 5-10 more years so I can display them in some online museum somewhere. :ninja:

And pictures of food. Can't forget those.

[Unholy]

AHH POGS were the sht...I used to hustle people in elementary school for them with my super duper stomper (or whatever it was called) I even had an OJ one ;)

[Relentless]

I purged my home of all collectibles a few years ago and have since resisted the urge to amass new stacks of useless crap. But in the past, I have collected:

beer bottle caps/labels
football cards
hockey cards
M:tG (paid for a few semesters of school when I sold my Unlimited stash)
heroclix

Edit: Wow, google just proved to me that you guys are nerds. ;)

[af92]

I collect Star Trek stuff and sports cards. Used to collect old game consoles, but got rid of that stuff.

[HahnB]

I don't even want to talk about how many of these I have... it's ridiculous. Good ones too, alpha, beta, elders, dual lands... etc.

These were the last things I collected. I wish I would have boughten some boxes of arabian nights and held onto them, they're going for upwards of 10 grand now:(

[Max Thunder]

I used to collect matchbooks. Got a lot from all around the world, some look really cool. Now I collect DVD and mp3 backups...

I keep all my movie theater tickets too...

[betastas]

What is M:tg?

Edit: Wow, google just proved to me that you guys are nerds. ;)

Magic the Gathering. A pain I know all too well. I'm holding onto mine until I need to sell them. :thumbup:

[leveque]

I collect tap handles. Most of them I get off e-bay.

[offhegoes03]

I always say I'm going to sell my old m:tg cards, but I never end up getting rid of them. I swear most people hold on to them for the fear that all of a sudden some of their cards are gonna be worth a lot.

[HahnB]

The problem with mtg cards is the day the game becomes unpopular, the cards are worth absolutely nothing. These type of cards are probably the riskiest investment as far as collectible cards.

[BilltheButcher]

Younger Years:
baseball and football cards
star wars stuff
transformers

College Years:
notches on my belt

Since turning 30:
Started a wine collection - nothing great, got about 10 decent bottles, just bought a MORAGA RED '96.
Pint Glasses - I go to a bar or there is a beer I like, I'll get a pint glass.

[PoutineEh]

forgot about them, but i used to collect zippos. have ~10. i should probably start collecting again, but pretty damn expensive, but pretty damn cool imo

[Ron Burgundy]

Dude me too I forgot about those, it's been a while heh.

[shootermcgavin7]

Knives

Do you just randomly buy them or are you a NKCA member?

[Tofer]

Holy ****, you mean people still play with M:tG cards and they're actually worth something?

Good lord. I probably have around 5000-7000 cards. I thought they were absolutely worthless now.

I toyed with the idea of chucking them a few months ago. I think I need to price these babies out... :o

[UnknownSoldier]

old albums..

stuff like grateful dead and stuff..

That was Pokemon.

M:tG will reach its 20th anniversary in 5 years. Somehow I don't think anything will change as long as geeks exist. :D

Tofer, here are two cards that are worth money and are Standard (Type II) legal:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/123/378246992_1447ff7f0a_o.jpg

These are worth about $10 to $15 depending on whether you play regular paper Magic or online Magic. They're the new dual lands from the Ravnica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravnica:_City_of_Guilds) card set.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/184/378246993_e83a3878f9_o.jpg

This is the "timeshifted" Wrath of God from the Planar Chaos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_Chaos) card set.

Wraths typically sell for $12 (online Magic) to $10-$15 (paper Magic). I imagine a Damnation will sell for nearly the same amount of money.

[FortifiedIron]

[mickyjune26]

Ticket stubs (from things I have been to... in case that sounded wierd).

forgot about that. The organization of my stubs needs to be improved. Right now, they are thrown in a big box with other memory-producing items.

[J.G]

I guess I'm collecting too much fat around my belly:redface:

That's about it for me.

[VikingWarlord]

Used to collect comics. My collection's got a few gems in it and has an estimated street value of ~$3000.

I have a large collection of computer parts at my parents' house, but that's mostly because I have a problem with throwing out stuff that functions, even if it's useless.

Looking in my closet, it's apparent that I collect useless ****.

[leveque]

I posted a picture of Comic Book Guy and it got deleted...

very odd...

[MrWebb78]

I still slowly collect comic books(trying to get x-men 1-400).

have an ever increasing book collection.

the only thing I really actively collect now is sports memoribilia. I have a room painted in Red Sox red and blue and have some nice stuff decorating the walls and shelves.

Sweet cards. I quit playing right about the time 4th edition came out. I was mostly type 1. My favorite tournaments were ones where each person would get a certain number of unopened packs, and you had to make a deck out of them. We'd come up with all kinds of sweet tournies at my local place.

[CBates]

I'm not sure if this counts as valuable collections, but I collect super hero DVDs, Christian Bale DVDs, and Final Fantasy games/movies.

[BFGUITAR]

I toyed with the idea of chucking them a few months ago. I think I need to price these babies out... :oSame here man. I was a big dork in high school. I haven't played since about 1996 so most of my cards are old Legends, Dark, and original edition cards. I didn't even know people still played and that they were coming out with new stuff still till I saw a mag in the bookstore last week that had price lists. Seems prices haven't changed much in 10 years so I should just sell the damn things.

[O RLY?]

Musical instruments and magic (illusion) books, the rarer the better! :)

[Three]

Knives and soccer jerseys...European leagues.

When I get a "real" job I plan on starting a gun collection.

[rdkraus]

My wife and I have been collecting matchbooks for about 25 years. We have them from all over the US and world. Ironically, with all the anti-smoking nonsense, most bars and restaurants don't have them anymore.

So we've switched to shot glasses and shooters. God, I hope they don't outlaw booze again.

Wish: I wish I had saved my concert tickets. I'd have 100's (1,000's?) from many historic concerts. Would have made a great scrapbook, with great memories.

We keep the matchbooks in a giant container in the living room. We could have a great bonfire if we wanted to.

[muscle chic]

Shot glasses from vacation

[J450n]

Diecast model cars - Got over 90 or so. Various scales, models, marques, producers, collections....

I have a very very small gun collection. Three guns, and counting. As you said, though, I have to get a real job before I start purchasing more.

[crazedwombat]

[Belial]

I collect debt.

[BigCorey75]

well for a while my last two years in college i collected new bottles of liquor, when ever i tried something new i just saved the bottle and placed it on our mantel, it got pretty impressive and was really only a fraction of what i drank.


also for a while i collected skoal can, id just never throw them away just into an unused dresser drawer, and when i moved out in december there was well over 100 empty cans in there, pretty sad yet somewhat impressive


but as far as anything useful or some serious value, not really

[Titanium_Jim]

I recently started collecting low quality and/or broken airsoft guns.....and a bit of debt.

[_8_Ball]

GOD I miss M:tg, I really do... I had the type I power 9, full dual land set and all the "big" cards like the library of alexandria, 4 x dujzam djinns (sp? ) etc... I stopped playing when I realized they were going to release and expansion every 6 months and that I had no one to play type 1 with... :-( I stopped collecting around the plainshift timeframe, so I sold everything cheap to buy my wife her wedding ring. I do regret selling them, and wish I was still playing... and yes, my wife would still have gotten her ring...

Even today I miss it... :-( My wife hated it and told me to grow up multiple times... :-)

Today I collect casino chips...
