I collected pokemon cards, big-head football (soccer) cards, and also marbles, as a kid.

Nowadays, the closest thing to a collection I have is DVD's. (I don't watch most of them, but I like knowing that I can, at any time).

I collect shares of blue chip stocks.

How do you display them?

The shares only exist virtually.We dont really display them but we do report them to the IRS every year so you could say we display it to them that way.

I'm teasing, only because the thread seems to be about tangible items acquired for the sake of collecting, rather than virtual items or items purchased in quantity for some other primary purpose (not stocks, not potatoes, not maintenance parts for something one owns, etc).

I was under the impression you had enough guns to count as a collection.

Sure, they have a distinct primary purpose (besides being collected), but once you've got more of a tool than one can reasonably use at once it's fair to call it a collection. (At least, I tell my dad he's got a Datsun collection because he's got more than one, none of which are his daily).

When people treat collectibles like stocks they become more of a speculator than a collector.

Ya you right we have enough guns to count as a collection.

Anything interesting or obscure?
Anything that's not valuable in terms of money, but has a story behind it?

Cool.

I wish I still had either my first guitar, or my second one (the first one I bought) even though neither were very good. It's the fun you have with them/memories you make with them.

I don't have a collection of guitars though. I have two.

I used to collect varying shades of colored ink pens.

Ink pens specifically, not gel pens or something fancier.
