I've been collecting baseball cards since I was seven years old. I have about 6,470 of them now (not counting duplicates); mostly Topps; I have basically been collecting cards from the late 80s and early 90s; those that have come out in the past ten years are quite expensive. I have complete sets of 1987-1991 Topps, and 1993 Topps. I still need about 16 cards to complete '92 Topps, one of which is Barry Bonds. The most expensive card I own (according to last year's price guide) is a Derek Cheater Jeter rookie card.

I collect cd's and stuffed monkeys.

I still collect YEAR IN REVIEWS that newspapers do towards the end of the year.

I used to collect cat stuff (figurines, blankets, pillows, etc) but stopped because I ran out of room. I have many of them in boxes in the basement because I don't have places to put them. But still have plenty around.

I also used to collect match books but don't any more. I still have my old collection-even one from Air Force II (before they banned smoking on flights).

My other collections:
-Money: Coins and currency-foriegn and domestic-old and new. It doesn't matter. I love money.  ;D People laugh because I buy money.
-Magnets: This is my lastest collection. It started about 5/6 years ago when we were at Disneyland. I wanted to get a souvenier for myself, something that wasn't too big and fairly cheap. A magnet was the answer. Now, I get magnets of the places I go. But, I don't want anyone to pick one up for me. The collection is from MY travels, not someone elses.
-Tee Shirts: Again from my many travels-plus the ones that were given to do me from other people travels.
-Books: Something that both my husband and I love. Some of the books we get are old (we find them at sales). He is thinking about retiring next year and has many books at his office. He is thinking about donating much of those to the library because we are running out of room. (Hopefully by that time we will have an extra room that we are going to turn into a library here at home.)
-CDs/records/video/DVDs: This library will never be complete. Again, we are running out of room. (But, like I said, that should change soon).



Cat

And did that digging cause that stupid hole in your yard that you twisted your ankle in ??? :-\\

I collected newspaper articles for a time during the 90s. If it was about something interesting, or something that happened at my school, I'd save the article.

When I was little I did that. In 1989 my grandma would take me to McDonald's regularly and I'd get a happy meal; I usually enjoyed getting those little toys that would be in there. In early 1991 they had Tiny Toons toys; I only got two out of the four, but even though I was 10 1/2 at the time, I had fun playing with them. By age 12, I packed them away in a safe place.

anything relating to futurama

will you go out with me? ;) :-*

i collect hobnail milkglass, roosters for my kitchen, pitchers, anything madonna, and stuff from my childhood like sears wishbooks and decorations for holidays that my mom used to have.  i guess you could say that i "collect" anything that looks nice as a decorative element for my home.
