What do you collect?

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

Do any of you collect anything? If so, what?

I collect vintage scarves, beer coasters and matchbooks from taverns and breweries.

I used to collect stickers, magazines and napkins as a kid. Now I collect our weekly school newspaper. 🤔

Blacklite posters with a Wonderland theme (plus a few others), though I haven't added to it in a long time.

I like antiques. The way many products made several decades ago work better with more endurance than something pooped out by a corporation today (and yet may have the audacity to charge more for it than an antique in good condition) only adds to their appeal. When I find my "retirement place" (still debating where that's going to be), I'm going to invest a lot in antiques.

I've actually got what I need for a desktop that's 20 years old save a box screen monitor, and I'm only preparing to get a new computer, reluctantly, because I've been unable to get the proper monitor from a place or person I trust. And if I ever get another vehicle, it will be 20+ years old, and assuming good maintenance, I'll assume it's better (if fewer toys) than anything just rolled off the lots today.

What do I collect?

Dust 😉

Seriously though....

I collect foreign coins. My aim is to collect at least one coin from each country of the World (Was doing fine until a load of new counties appeared) and currently have about 4 to go....
I literally have thousands of coins all told.
I particularly like commemorative coins & sets Like the Canadian province & U.S state 25cent coins.

I collect antique radios and test equipment.

This is a Philco Model 60 from about 1933. This model remained in the lineup for several years, so there is nothing giving an actual build date.

I want to collect more Funko Pops! I brought @Bop Onward Ian and Barley pops and Elsa and Anna ones for Christmas. I’ve got the dark willow, buffy, Giles and Faith pops. I hope to get a spike and Angel one but I know they can be expensive. A lot of the other funko pops on the website were sold out.

@Joan the Vampire Slayer "How do you display your collection?"

I have a special wall rack where I display all my silver crowns. The U.S State Quarters have their own special display booklet/holder, as do the British 'Olympic 2012' 50p set & the different countries Euro coin sets.
For the rest I put the best examples in albums by country & those that don't 'make the grade' are in several of those small plastic Ikea multi draw units again by country.

I also have quite a collection of British 50p £1 & £2 coins as they tend to have a different design on the reverse for each year.

@Last Watcher but do you have A to Z in 10ps?

Ermm yeah, I have a lot of collections, funko pops, lego, a few coins, books!

@Joan the Vampire Slayer No just the regular ones bought at store. But they all had different patterns on them. 😀
