My P45...then my giro!


Ha ha! I wonder how many people got this one, Goodsin?  ;) :D

don't collect anything atm, but when I was younger I used to collect a lot of comic books and other magazines. I remember at one stage, my mam was buying me about 6 a week! I feel kinda bad about making her pay for them all, but they have proven useful in school projects etc, so they kinda paid themselves back!

I already posted on this thread (a long time ago); I am still adding to my baseball card collection, which currently has 6,516 unique cards. (I have about 800 duplicates/triplicates/quadruplicates/etc, about 50 of which I am saving because they're valuable. The other 750 I want to give away or possibly sell; I just don't know yet.)

Wow, that's a helluvalot of cards!  :o
How long you been collecting?

Since I was about 7 years old. So, for the past 18 years total. ;) Most of the cards I have are from the late 80's and early 90's.

Woah, 18 years is longer than my life-span!  :D

Pat on the back for you, Jeff

Hehe..thanks! :) So I guess I started collecting before you were born?

correct... by the sounds of it, you either started collecting in late 1986 or early 1987... i'm 18 this year

Well I just turned 25 this past Monday, so some time in the summer of 1987 is roughly around the time I began collecting bb cards.

I wonder how many you would have if you had started collecting in the summer of 69?  :D

I wasn't alive then...but I do know that my dad collected baseball cards as a kid during the 1960's; he still has them, and they're nicely protected in albums.

Wow, how many's HE got?!

Probably somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000---less than I have.

Is that all?  ::) ;)

Probably...I haven't counted them, but it's probably an estimate, based on how many cards each set of each year had, and how many cards out of the set he was able to accumulate. I, for one, have complete sets of Topps cards from 1987-91, and 1993; I am still 15 cards short of a complete set for 1992 Topps.

It's even more pain-stakingly awkward when you're only missing like 1 card out of a set of 1,000 that's taken you decades to compile... that would irritate me past all sense of rationality

I used to collect all things She-Ra...

Bet you wouldn't have guessed.

Nope. Nothing in your avatar or signature line to suggest any sort of she-ra connections...  ::)

No, I know. Completely random choice!

I'm a little bit chunkier than that. ;D

oldies music tapes and CDs

Well, most of the Topps card sets from 1982 through 1994 have 792 cards each; 1993 had 825 of them. Since then, the sets have had a fluctuating number of cards (and gotten pricy). It took me until the summer of 1990 to complete the '88 cards and mid-1994 to complete the '90 cards; a couple of the other sets I received as complete sets without having to buy any packs. I didn't really begin concentrating on the 1987 Topps set until the mid-90's, when this one baseball card store I was visiting regularly had them at a low price. And it was last year when I finally completed that set. 8)

*bumping up an old thread*

I'm sure some of the folks who have registered in the past several months collect things, so I thought I'd give this thread a bump so they could share their collections with us. :)

I still collect sports cards.

I collected comic books. I don't collect them anymore but I still
have my old collection. Over 400 comic books, mostly Marvel,
and from the late 70's and early 80's.

CDs, model cars, video games (SNES and older), coins (not as much today) and many many others...

I collect Atari 2600/7800 Games, K-Tel records and Tapes, and most importantly, I collect Chart Hits.  There's a whole world of songs out there I've still yet to hear, and many I will probably remember ... sooner or later they will all be mine 8)

I collect books on philosophy

Martha Stewart Living magazines

lip glosses

Monkees memoribilia

DVDs of 80's shows

I used to collect Baseball cards but stopped. I've got a few good ones in storage, and a ton of them that aren't worth a nickel. I probably have over ten thousand. Nothing really old. I had a box of cards from the 60's that I still remember throwing out when we were moving. omg, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays all tossed out like trash. I didn't know what I had,  :\'(  Now my collection is mainly from 1979-1999  and the Cal Ripken jr. rookie card is my favorite.

I also try to collect decks of playing cards from different casinos whenever I'm at one.

I have a modest comic book collection. 

DVDs of 80's shows

Monkeys, elephants, old black and white movie stills and sugar sachets.

I never thought I'd be 34 and still watching Punky Brewster :)

A bigger difference in the days between the day I was born and the current day.

There's no shame in that.  I'm almost 30 and I still love watching Punky Brewster :)

I can't remember the last time I watched that show. :o

DUI's.

DUI's.


When did you stop collecting Restraining Orders?

Dust and vinyl records (predominantly 12" singles from the 80's to current dance music; I have around 2500 records) which leads to more dust... :D

When did you stop collecting Restraining Orders?


When I was confined to a mile square area in Nebraska

I used to collect Boyd's Bears but that was before kids and I had extra money to spend.

I don't really collect anything now.

Men.

Maybe I should rephrase that...I collect men to flirt with. My mind directs me away from actually screwing someone who isn't my husband. :P

No. You belong to the state.

retro Rt. 66 and/or roadside attraction memorabilia.

Vintage electronics (i.e. boomboxes, old-school VCRs or anything else generally harder to find), cool retro clothes, and '80s and '90s (as well as sporadic '60s and '70s) music. Especially tapes. I especially like the harder to find stuff, which is why I go to thrift stores and big used CD/movie shops alot.
