What do you collect?

The coins I wont put on the interweb anyway.

Perfectly understandable. I won't post my Perth stuff either because people like us are infowars level paranoid. Shame, I have quit purchasing once I've reached the magical 33% level and I kind of miss it, oh well.

Dust. And cobwebs.

I used to collect ballpoint pens, keyrings and rocks. Moved halfway across the globe with only a bag of clothes and no longer collect anything material.

I collected stamps but that got expensive pretty quickly as a kid and I gave it up early on.

When I was young I collected comics and had quite a nice collection going including a Spiderman #2 and some 1950's era Donald Duck comics (which were incredibly funny, well written and had twice as many pages) that were passed down by my great uncle. I sold them all to fund starting college which in retrospect I very much wish I had not done.

I haven't collected anything else of note in some time.

@OP: I collected old computer hardware but the older I became the more I felt like wasting my time. Now I "only" collect great moments with my daughter and my life really entered the next level. Collecting good times with the people you love > everything else. Give it a try!

Collected stamps as a kid, but never had any interest in it so stopped at some point. No idea how I even got started with that, must have been something my parents started for me or something.

Played MTG at some point as a kid as well, but never saw myself as a collector, just had a few decks that I played with.

I don't collect anything now, don't see the point/fun in it. Getting clos to 400 games on Steam, if you could call that a collection.

I collect coins, comics and sci-fi books mostly. I used to collect stamps too (my grampa's collection that I continued) but stopped long time ago.
Oh and whisky bottles. After they've been emptied ;-)

Coins, rather haphazardly.

Seriously, none of you will post any coin pictures? I do understand those who have gold and silver, we're paranoid, but normal coins? My father collects this stuff, from the earliest ~500 BCE coinage, through roman empire/republic to some interesting designs from British Colonies, I bet he'd like to see what do you guys have.

I don't collect anything anymore. Matter a fact I got an extra dumpster at my house to throw shit away. I have a 6 month rule - if I don't use something in 6 months it goes in the garbage no matter value. I've thrown away a $3000 Omega Seamaster before watch I got from my dad because it didnt qualify. I dont wear watches.

I would never trust my money to Wall Street.

Well 400 Steam games is quite a collection I would say and it doesn't take much space.

Although I created this thread, if you would see my apartment, you would think I am pretty minimalist. It is not that I am cramming it full with stuff.

Well obviously but you got to do something with your cash right? Just so boring to see a digital number on your screen. And in my case spending cash on books is a good investment education-wise.
