Woodlice, Vintage camera, native american things.... none of those are really strange though, other than perhaps the woodlice.

pieces or remnants of people I cared about or was infatuated with at one stage - hair, toe nail clippings, notes they'd give or leave & some other things that I won't mention here.

I had a buckeye collection as a child. I recently found my old collection in my closet and didn't throw them out, so I guess in a way I still have a buckeye collection. A buckeye is a curiously shaped, brownish almost purple thing with a beige spot for those who don't know. They grow in clusters encased in a tough shell that must be broken open to find the buckeyes. I believe they may be seeds.

Round things, such as balls.

Did you ever collect those small hard rubber balls that bounce really high? (if that makes sense)

They're great fun - and yo-yos.

doordoctor, they may be called that, 'superballs' - I am unsure. They require very little pressure when throwing to gain seemingly exorbitant height. If that is their title, thanks for the knowledge :-)

Not weird for a woman, but I think I have more cat-related items than anyone else I know. I have stuffed animals, figurines, pictures and a painting of a Lynx point Siamese cat that looks like my Samantha as a young adult cat. I like to collect Siamese especially. If I could find a Lynx point stuffed animal kitty, I'd buy it.

I never had any particularly weird collections, but I used to collect Pogs and football stickers.
