What do you collect?

[TheGoofster]

And where do you find it / them?
I love to collect things. I always have. Currently I am collecting:

Eagles (I have statuettes, fountains, snow globes, pictures, calendars, plates, and knives to name a few). I get them at various places.
Books. I get most of them from Goodwill, Salvation Army and Yard Sales
GameCube games. I get most of them from Ebay
Computer games. I get most of them from clearance sales or Amazon.com
Atari games. I used to get them from Goodwill and Salvation Army.
DVD's. I get them wherever they are on sales.

Growing up my brother and I collected baseball (and other) cards. My brother still has the collection. He has over 650,000 cards (mostly organized too). We also collected soda cans. We had an incredible amount of different kinds of soda cans. I collected old pennies as well, while my brother collected stamps.

I'm not big on collecting but I do enjoy collecting swizzle sticks. The ones I like best are glass but I also have a lot of plastic ones. My favorite was found in an antique store, it's a horse's head and made of pewter. I keep them in a beautiful cobalt blue vase on my counter but that does create some breakage sometimes. I'm trying to figure out a different way to display them.

Hardcover John Tenniel illustrated copies of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass published pre-1945. Kind of specific, but there you go.

Disney collectibles, the expensive ones, like WDCC. I get them at the theme parks, at a local dealer or on eBay

Dust under my bed. I think it likes me, because it just appears out of nowhere!

I collect mini snowglobes. They are mostly Disney but I collect all different kinds. I have 40 so far. I plan on getting a few more on our trip at the end of this month.

Seriously, I collect Precious Moments Annual Ornaments, Swarovski Crystal Ornaments (I do it because I like it but 1999 is worth $200+ for a $35 investment not that I would ever sell), and some disney items.

Our kids each have a coin collection thanks to the inlaws. And last year we started them a pin trading collection from WDW so they have them too.

DH and I collect penguins. We have well over 200 and we get them anywhere we can find them. Out of all of those penguins there is only 1 set of duplicates. We even had penguins in our wedding decor (penguin cake topper, guest book pen, and 2 stuffed penguins on the gift table). It's all my DH's fault. Right before we started dating, he told me a pick up line he'd heard:

Guy (walks up to girl and says): Fat penguins
Girl: What?
Guy Fat penguins....I just wanted to say something that would break the ice.

He brought me a fat penguin on our first date and it snowballed from there.

Beach Towels. If they are on sale, when i go someplace that's one of my souvenirs.

I have my nice ones that the kids aren't allowed to use. (sick ,I know )

I give them the Target towels.

I collect dvd's, old coins and state quarters. My dvd collection is around 120 the last time I counted. I also save all my state quarters. I probably have around $200 in those. I also have a penny that is almost 100 years old. I know it's still worth a penny, but if I hold on to it and pass it down to my grandkids one day, maybe it'll be worth a lot more than that.

Me, too. Dust. And school art projects. And toys - usually collect those with the bottom of my feet and it hurts. I also collect (and redistribute) all those work related thing my husband leaves around the house.

I wouldn't have a place for an actual collection of objects. Besides, I really despise dusting.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

Coffee mugs and DVDs. I used to collect Barbies and still have them all packed away in boxes. I want to get rid of them since they take up way too much space, but I feel like I'd be getting rid of a goldmine.
