off-topic What are some things that you like to collect?

“Do you like to collect anything? Some people enjoy collecting toys, baseball cards, Pokémon cards, Matchbox cars, and plushies. How about you? Are you the type of person who likes to collect?




If so, what are your favorite things to collect?

If I visit a National Forest, National Park, or State Park, I'll try to get a patch. I never actually sew them on anything, either. I just collect them as a keepsake.

I like to collect and rotate art in and around the house. I see this as a collection, but also an investment. If the artist blows up, so does the selling price. But in the meantime, I can enjoy a nice piece of artwork hanging, and change it out with another piece to change the setting.

Beyond my collection of coins I purchase for investment reasons, due to the silver contents, I like to keep different coins of different denominations from various countries that I sometimes receive in my bulk "what you see is what you get" coin orders. One day, I will use them in the country of origin, but, I'm not up for traveling the world to do that yet.

I have collections of other things that I'm building up as well, including Zippos and LPs (vinyl records).

The only thing that I collect that doesn't retain some value, or have an expected higher value, are movie ticket stubs. While I still record movies watched, when and where, in a spreadsheet to avoid watching movies over and over, I will keep my ticket stubs in a ziplock bag and even go as far as keeping them in my safe as I took quick notice of the ink fading from the first stubs I ever got. This is because each stub wasn't just a movie, but rather an experience, and a memory that I'd like to hold onto.

I love collecting things a lot especially when growing up, I had Pokémon cards and Matchbox cars that I have collected. Now I like to collect coins of different countries. This is fun to me because there is nothing like finding a nice piece to add to my collection.

I still have 2 boxes full is funko pop toys from my childhood and my plushies too. I've grown so much attached to them that giving them away was very difficult for me. I'm lucky to have them untampered because my baby girl doesn't like either of them.

I used to collect old coins and coins of different countries during my childhood but lost interest so I have stopped.
