Books, and lots of 'em.

I buy books like most women buy shoes or purses. Love books.

 

[SmileDocHill]

I try to collect money but my collection of ex-wives has pretty much crushed my dreams in that category.

I really like the history stuff. I have some old periodicals from juuuuust after WW2 from VFW and similar organizations. Fascinating reading, the way the language has changed and the culture is amazing.

 

[Jack Ryan]

So tell me, what do you collect?

Guns
RR items
American made vacum bottles / not glass and lunch boxes
Iron door stops and banks
China sets
Ironstone tea leaf pattern and the white iron stone
Blacksmith tools

I'll go outside my norm if I see something I think is a bargain but that's what I'll be looking at driving past a yard or garage sale.

I collect arcade games and random weird stuff

 

[JohnP82]

I am not really into it at much as I used to be, but sports cards. Still have all from when I was younger. Dont really buy too many anymore, just every once in awhile. But I will never get rid of my collection.

I collect shot glasses, up to around 150ish now. I usually grab one from every new place we go and I don't let other people help my collection. Kinda gives each one a story and something to look back on sometime down the road I guess. Interstingly enough, I don't drink hard alcohol.

This, except I have about 40.

Bar/alcohol glassware.
