What do you Collect?

[joeyhavlock]

Hi Folks,
Besides domain names, what, if anything, do you collect? stamps, rocks, guns, shoes...what do you hoard, cherish, or accumulate in abundance?

My wife and I collect trading cards of all sorts. We started out with our collection as a research project which eventually evolved into a passion that we share and have even built several domain names around. But we both were interested to know what you other domain name people here might collect yourselves if you care to share...

Very cool, what kind of swarovski crystals? Do you have any pictures?

The biggest collection I have is books, movies and music. So much so, that I had to resort to selling some of them. I mean, a house can only hold so much, LOL! I have stopped frequently buying music, as most of it out there isn't good. I probably will never stop collecting good films.

Don't have any pictures unfortunately -- I collect their animal crystals and am particularly fond of their blowfish (have it in 2 different sizes). Need to get it in a small to complete the set

Nice

I've become a bit of a book collector myself lately -- Amazon.com makes it so easy to buy things that I've ended up buying more books than I have time to read them!

I collect magazines. I also collect friends. If they can be collected. When i was young I really want to collect ideas regarding animals. I wanted to be a zoologists at that time. But i've outgrown it, and i still wonder if that is really what i want.

I collect pocketbooks and songmags:D

 

[joeyhavlock]

Wow, all your collections sounds really interesting...anyone care to share a picture of one of your favorite pieces from your collection? I am sure it folks here would find the visual stimulating...

what do you mean you collect friends? How do you store those? Is there some sort of special archival container made for such an item?

signed first editions....


My "prizes" are:
- Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" 1st (signed) and 1sts of Winter of Our Discontent and East of Eden
- Hemmingway's - The Old Man and the Sea (signed 1st) and firsts of To Have and Have Not, For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Sun Also Rises....

These books will only be wrestled from my posession by putting me 6 feet under!

I have most of the H.E.Bates collection....glorious to read and very complex to collect!
I also have all of the Anne Rice collection...signed by the autor in near perfect condition with pristine dust jackets....what is funny is I don't really even like it LOL! The collector instinct is a crazy thing.... but books just have that smell....touch....feel....

Hee Hee! ... that's a pretty cool looking card!



when I have time, I'll collect clips from movies and tv...mostly comedy and action...then sometimes I let them run in random order using windows media player...for example if I see a funny clip I'll save it on my dvr then later transfer it to my computer where I can edit it then put it in a folder and get media player to play all the clips in that folder at random. takes up some time but the advantage is it doesn't take up any room.

I collect absolutely nothing, but have one hell of a collection of scars.
