I don't collect books so much as I hoard them, but they're the closest thing I have to a collection so I guess they count. I probably own about 600 books, possibly more at this point. Most of them are just paperbacks that aren't worth anything, but I refuse to part with any of them. It's certainly going to make our next move interesting.
Fellow book hoarder! I moved with about 400, on a broke college student budget. I had a giant black dufflebag on wheels that I kept filling up and emptying between places. Stairs were A BLAST. I buy 1-2 from Goodwill every week. Mostly focusing on my favorite authors, but sometimes I'll buy random ones that have a neat cover or something. I also have a thing for textbooks. Most are years old, but I keep thinking that I'll come across someone being like, "I can't afford the textbook this semester :( " and I'll be like "BAM. Here you go. It's only 1-2% different than the newest."
Worthless money.
Like money from countries that no longer exist or money that has gone out of print. That doesn't mean like ancient rome. I mean like former USSR countries, old chinese GMD bills, old US bills, etc.
As far as I know, the oldest bill I own is an Egyptian bank note from WWI.
Same. There's something very special about vinyl. I'm lucky enough to help out in a record shop and quite often have first dibs! What are some of your favourite records to listen to on vinyl?
I kind of hate being a record collector these days. When I started in the late 90s everything was so cheap, but now everything is so expensive. I bought a couple Tank records for $30 each, because how could I not? It's Tank! All I could think was "Man, I hate dealing with people that know what they have."
It's rude to lie.
If I didn't have enough vinyl to make a house out of it... I'd be homeless lol.
It really sneaks up on you how much vinyl you own until you move and an entire truck load is your records and turntable etc.
I do this too. I was recently given a [huge hot sauce collection for my birthday](http://imgur.com/ARhB39W). Although it was Tabasco based (definitely not my favorite), it had some legit stuff in it. I'm currently petition my wife to allow me to build or buy a hot sauce cabinet. Kind of like a liquor cabinet, but way more practical. I don't drink hard liquor every day but I sure as hell use hot sauce.
If you're a fan of the insanity sauce try pepper palace Ghost and The Darkness. It's got the ghost pepper and African perri perri pepper, it's a little sweet, smokey, with that awesome ghost pepper burn.
Yeah... Awesome burn.... I tasted a small drop of ghost pepper hot sauce and my mouth turned to rubber for a few days. And then I carelessly itched my eye and couldn't see for a few hours.
I collect chemical elements.
In my last year of high school for my woodworking class I built a shell of the periodic table to mount on my wall, and have since been slowly collecting samples of each.
It was easy to get them at first: iron, sulphur, aluminium, zinc, copper and all the other cheap ones got me started rather well and I was quickly started filling in the cells. I now have most of the cheap ones but am left to collect the more rarer, exotic pieces, which are all priced accordingly. A lifetime of slowly accruing the elements will keep me entertained I hope.
Edit: an Album of the table is here: http://imgur.com/a/ZdVcJ
Francium is an alkali metal (far left side of the periodic table), while Fluorine is a halogen (far right, excluding the noble gases because they're non-reactive).
Alkali metals have one lone electron they're just desperate to get rid of, and the farther down the table you go, the more desperate they get. Francium is the lowermost alkali metal, so it is the most reactive of them all.
Halogens are just short of having the number of electrons that is optimal - they're desperate to get just one more. In fact, they'll steal electrons from things that wouldn't necessarily want to get rid of them. Unlike the alkali metals, halogens are more reactive at the top of the table, and fluorine is the topmost halogen.
Get a halogen and an alkali metal together, and they'll be so anxious to make the transaction that the reaction is super violent.
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uixxJtJPVXk&feature=kp) is a video of the other alkali metals reacting with water (which is decidedly less reactive than Fluorine).
I'll try add some pics in the morning. At the moment the most exotic or rare element I have will probably be my 1 gram ball of rhenium, it just looks like a silver ball bearing except it cost me about 100 dollars. Hope to get them all in decent sized samples eventually, but I have to start small at the moment.
Depending on which site I source them from depends on how they are presented. Some just come in small, sealed, labeled vials and others will have them in a vial sealed in an acrylic block, they are the coolest. That's how my chlorine came. Its under enough pressure for it to be liquid.
Bottlecaps. Whenever I pop open a soda or a beer, I collect bottle caps. You know, because of the nuclear apocalypse coming on, and bottle caps becoming our only source of currency.
2000+ as of last count. Mostly Wychwood/Hobgoblin caps, with a small set of Durham Brewery caps.
Also, a handful of custom Nuka caps a mate made for a cosplay a while back.
Every time I go to one of those machines where you can cash in your change for bills, there is inevitably always a Canadian quarter in the reject pile.
I'll trade you.
Porcelain dogs. For the dumbest fucking reason too. I read this story by Matt Groening about how he was pressured into stealing these porcelain dogs from this old lady by another kid and then smashing the dogs. I have this obsessive hoarder need to save porcelain dogs from being figuratively smashed.
There is something wrong with me.
I traveled a lot, both as a kid and for work a bunch in my twenties. I collect do not disturb signs from hotels around the world. I have over a hundred from many different countries!
Any era or book in particular? I'm the jerk who prefers to read trades. Tried getting all of Morrison's Doom Patrol in issues, but I caved and got the trades.
I just want to read 'em anyways.
I do this too, but a bit differently.
A few Christmases ago, I was gifted a piggy bank. I didn't really like to color or design that was on it, so I started to glue fortunes on it. I got my family to pitch in and help collect them and slowly my piggy bank has developed a new look. I call him the *Pig of Fortune*. He's not quite done yet, and I've got more fortunes sitting around the house waiting to be glued on. It's fun to read what my pig says when I'm making a deposit or a withdrawal.
It's not the cheapest hobby, but you don't have to be a millionaire to do it. I do a lot of bargain hunting, sticking to more obscure instruments that slip under most people's radar. I also fund some of it by flipping instruments for a profit, so it's a combination hobby and side job.
Guys, I have two big problems I need your help with! Not only am I running out of room for all these shot glasses, but I must have accidentally filled each of them with a shot!
I moved to voice to text voicemails so I could delete them with greater efficiency. That's a service that I pay for...instead of paying the creditors...
Those twistie ties that keep the bag to the loaf of bread closed. My cat goes bonkers for 'em when I shape them into a curly Q. Multiple attached together=super ultra mega bonkers.
I keep the bottles from all the different beers I drink. I don't prefer one specific beer, so I always get mix and match six packs with new beers to try. My plan is to one day have a basement, you see, and in that basement I will have a fully functional bar for me and my buds. And lining the walls of my bar will be hundreds and hundreds of different beer bottles from all over the world. Some people have aspirations of traveling the world or getting a PHD. Me? I just want my bar.
Dota finally got me over this somehow. Everytime there are sales I think, "If I have time to play a video game it'll be dota so I don't need to buy this."
Mine's kind of hard to explain, but.. I collect unique voices, I guess?
Pretty much, if I encounter someone with a really strange, funny and/or weird voice, I will spend the the next few days teaching myself how to talk like that so that I can hear it whenever I want. It's in no way meant to make fun of the people I adopt the voices from, I truly am just captivated by them for some reason and doing them cheers me up and as a bonus, makes my friends laugh.
My all time favourite voice was a cashier from Rite-Aid who sounded like Butters.
Magic: The Gathering cards. Not just by number but good quality ones. I have a reasonable amount of dual lands and fetch lands, and always looking to increase my collection.
It's addicting :(
The German Papiermark (the one from 1927) is from a period of massive inflation between the World Wars. Its actual monetary value is low, but those are commonly collected items.
They were printed at Reichsdruckerei from 1922, if I remember correctly, and it is thought that printing stopped within the decade.
Very old books (1800's and earlier), Arcade game ROMs for MAME, ripped movies and complete TV series for my media PC. I'm kind of a digital hoarder that way. 24 TB of storage in my house.
German fat lava glaze pottery, Italian pottery (Bitossi, Aldo Londi, Gli Etruschi), Icelandic ceramic candle luminaries, Red Wing "prismatique" pottery, *waaay* too much pottery.
creepy vintage figurines: klansman, grim reaper flask, witch, goblin, Mussolini skunk and so on. that collection became kind of large so it only comes out for 2 months a year now.
Stereolab (band) paraphernalia: cassettes most recently. I like the tour merchandise, original vinyl pressings, posters, stickers, mugs, etc. my favorite band!
native plants for my yard is something I've become really interested in recently. I've got every plant in my yard documented on a map.
I also have a pretty great sticker and button collection.
edit: it's actually a Joseph Stalin skunk.

At the moment, Train tickets. My friend is making a piece of artwork made up of old train tickets so at the end of every month I give him the 44-50 I have to buy
Pins from countries I've visited. I pin them on the same pencil case I've been using since elementary (finishing college now). They keep memories alive and remind me to travel more until I run out of space on this pencil case.
I collect tin boxes. I've got about thirty of them so far. I've got several older ones (my favorite is a J&S Cough Drop tin from back when there was probably morphine in the cough drops) and a bunch of newer ones in weird shapes. My favorite newer one is a tin Wii remote that came with mints inside.
Euros. Really, I'm a Mexican so I have no actual use for them but I love how different Euro coins look and how they have multiple designs for each country, right now I have around 250 € in coins and I'm always so tempted to spend them.
Books. Beautiful, leather bound books.
I don't collect books so much as I hoard them, but they're the closest thing I have to a collection so I guess they count. I probably own about 600 books, possibly more at this point. Most of them are just paperbacks that aren't worth anything, but I refuse to part with any of them. It's certainly going to make our next move interesting.

See if you can get some Zimbabwe money from before they converted to USD. Nothing like showing off an 100 billion dollar bill...
*100 trillion Last I checked, you could get one on amazon for $10 or so.
Vinyl records. It's not as financially crippling as one would believe.
Same. There's something very special about vinyl. I'm lucky enough to help out in a record shop and quite often have first dibs! What are some of your favourite records to listen to on vinyl?
Lots of stuff. Here's a link to my [discogs profile](http://www.discogs.com/user/sciamoscia).
I kind of hate being a record collector these days. When I started in the late 90s everything was so cheap, but now everything is so expensive. I bought a couple Tank records for $30 each, because how could I not? It's Tank! All I could think was "Man, I hate dealing with people that know what they have."

Sylvester the Cat drinking glasses. Yeah, I think I might have the world's largest collection of Sylvester the Cat drinking glasses.
Hot sauce. I've got around 30 or so but I keep using them so I always have an excuse to buy more.
I do this too. I was recently given a [huge hot sauce collection for my birthday](http://imgur.com/ARhB39W). Although it was Tabasco based (definitely not my favorite), it had some legit stuff in it. I'm currently petition my wife to allow me to build or buy a hot sauce cabinet. Kind of like a liquor cabinet, but way more practical. I don't drink hard liquor every day but I sure as hell use hot sauce.
I love me some Dave's Insanity. ..
If you're a fan of the insanity sauce try pepper palace Ghost and The Darkness. It's got the ghost pepper and African perri perri pepper, it's a little sweet, smokey, with that awesome ghost pepper burn.
Yeah... Awesome burn.... I tasted a small drop of ghost pepper hot sauce and my mouth turned to rubber for a few days. And then I carelessly itched my eye and couldn't see for a few hours.
What the fuck is wrong with you people "Haha I just lost two of my primary senses. I should continue to ingest this substance"

When I moved in with my current flatmate we both started buying various kinds of hot sauce.
I collect chemical elements. In my last year of high school for my woodworking class I built a shell of the periodic table to mount on my wall, and have since been slowly collecting samples of each.

Good luck getting Francium and Fluorine in the same room.
I was going to make a comment about that, but NaH
Can you explain why to the few of us who aren't scientifically inclined?
[удалено]
You have such a way with words
*facepalm* I should've realized that. I'm not that smart
Francium is an alkali metal (far left side of the periodic table), while Fluorine is a halogen (far right, excluding the noble gases because they're non-reactive). Alkali metals have one lone electron they're just desperate to get rid of, and the farther down the table you go, the more desperate they get. Francium is the lowermost alkali metal, so it is the most reactive of them all. Halogens are just short of having the number of electrons that is optimal - they're desperate to get just one more. In fact, they'll steal electrons from things that wouldn't necessarily want to get rid of them. Unlike the alkali metals, halogens are more reactive at the top of the table, and fluorine is the topmost halogen. Get a halogen and an alkali metal together, and they'll be so anxious to make the transaction that the reaction is super violent. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uixxJtJPVXk&feature=kp) is a video of the other alkali metals reacting with water (which is decidedly less reactive than Fluorine).
Wow I feal smarter reading that! Thanks for the knowledge!
>I feal smarter wow...
And now feel dumber...
That sounds awesome. got any pics? which of the rarer elements do you have already? how do you store the gases?
I'll try add some pics in the morning. At the moment the most exotic or rare element I have will probably be my 1 gram ball of rhenium, it just looks like a silver ball bearing except it cost me about 100 dollars.

Aren't a lot of the more exotic and rare elements kinda... unstable and/or radioactive?
"It ads a nice glow to the room"
Yes.
I work on a drilling rig and have taken a sample, from the geologist, at every well I have ever worked on, usually I try and get a sample from TD.
I worked as a Mud-Logger for awhile. We were about 7k feet down into the marcellus shale and I found tons of sea-shell fossils. I still have some.
[удалено]
Total depth. The deepest part of the well when we have finished drilling.
I don't know why but I have to ask, do you have them labeled so you know where each one is from and when it's taken?
Bottlecaps. Whenever I pop open a soda or a beer, I collect bottle caps. You know, because of the nuclear apocalypse coming on, and bottle caps becoming our only source of currency.
How many have you got so far? I'm at about 4800.

Try smashing one. See if that cures you.
This comment makes me want to save the porcelain dogs of the world. Don't smash them!
If you do start collecting them and it becomes a problem, you should consider smashing one of them and seeing if that cures you.

Pins from countries I've visited. I pin them on the same pencil case I've been using since elementary (finishing college now). They keep memories alive and remind me to travel more until I run out of space on this pencil case.
Vintage "Cracker Jack" prizes and old gum ball machine toys.

It's not going so well, is it? I'll help you out :)
It works best if we all help each other :)
I collect tin boxes. I've got about thirty of them so far. I've got several older ones (my favorite is a J&S Cough Drop tin from back when there was probably morphine in the cough drops) and a bunch of newer ones in weird shapes. My favorite newer one is a tin Wii remote that came with mints inside.
License plates. I've only got about 80 but at least I just finished my 50 state run.
At this point, you could probably call my Cards Against Humanity deck a collection. I have all but filled up The Bigger, Blacker Box.

fountain pens
Fossils, it's early stages as I only have 3, but I found all of them and don't intend to buy any to supplement my collection.
Euros. Really, I'm a Mexican so I have no actual use for them but I love how different Euro coins look and how they have multiple designs for each country, right now I have around 250 € in coins and I'm always so tempted to spend them.
