For me it's comics, Star Trek Toys, Prop Replicas, Models, and Autographs, I have a minor collection of Vintage and new Star Wars toys, Some various other movie and comic related toys, got a decent sized collection of firearms, specializing in WWII weapons from all major players, and a Blu-Ray and DVD library somewhere past 1500 titles. Oh, and a lotta credit card debt.

Mike Schmidt baseball cards. I love rookies from the early 80s like mattingly strawberry etc. I couldn't afford them when I was a kid and love to get them now.

I love collecting Catfish Hunter cause he was a Yank and also a NC boy as well as Thurman Munson.

Yanks sux tho. :grin:

 

This is true, but Thurman Munson rocked!

I just blew out a bunch of books (Goodbye, my run of WWBN :( ) to buy a new set of 17" tires and rims for my summer hobby:

Vintage cars and comic books. I can't afford both, so I usually have to sell something from one to pay for the other... :pullhair:

In addition to comics, I am something of a DVD/Blu-ray nut. I realize this is probably a fool's game, given our ever-increasing evolution towards streaming all things at all times.

Consequently, I've limited myself to collecting the following:

 

1) DVDs by "boutique" labels. Basically, these are small distributors that release DVDs and Blu-rays of esoteric genre pictures. My favorite of these is a company called Mondo Macabro, but there are others worth collecting.

 

2) Doctor Who DVDs--I've got everything that's been released in region 1. :insane:

 

3) Criterion Collection--My favorite of the bunch. I've got several hundred of these at this point...about half of the total collection. I never get tired of checking out Criterion's "coming soon" page. :)

I also bid on the unabomber's typewriter but missed out. :(

 

I live in Great Falls, MT - the Air Force base here (Malmstrom) is where they brought his cabin and belongings. There's a long-standing urban legend that someone stole his mailbox and that it was installed somewhere here in town...

Been collecting comics for 30 years but in between had other items i collected.

Sports Cards- Had a nice collection of rookies for Hocket-BaseBall and Football but sold it years ago

 

Hess Trucks- I had from the years 1980 to 2000 and sold them last year.

 

Iron maiden picture Disc. Had a huge collection and hung them on a wall (HAd about 40) and again sold them a few years ago

 

Got into collecting old tech items a few years ago. Got the original Palm , handspring devices etc and was starting a display but got too expensive.

 

Old Toys. I buy old toys I used to have as a kid , not alot but still have some sitting around my house. Old board games like stratego etc , Sockem Robots and others

 

Comic Books are the only thing I have kept and stuck with.

 

Now all i try to collect is Cash. Whithin 20 years of retirement (I hope) and I have not one dime saved.
