Collectibles

[Little_stinker]

Do you collect any non-tv related items?

[GentlemanJim]

I am a compulsive collector of usb thumb drives, pens and mechanical pencils, pockets-sized flashlights, and all forms of canada goose trinkits.

I've even considered having a canada goose likeness carved into my tombstone.

Comic books, and books that collect runs of comic strips.

Oh I've done my share of collectibles, and have some in drawers now as I got sick of dusting and looking at the stuff....I still have a small collection of budda figures that were my last collectible thing. Antique shops are full of collectibles....

Souvenir shot glasses of places I’ve been to
Decks of Playing Cards
Business Cards / Matchbooks (esp. of defunct places)
Disney Pins
Zippo Lighters
Cigar Bands
Autographs


Some of those items happen to be tv/movie related... like "The Sopranos" and "Sons of Anarchy" have their own cigars, "The Walking Dead" and "Cheers" have playing cards, etc...

I stopped collecting them a long time ago, but I have over 125,000 pocket schedules. I used to write sports teams and colleges for them. It was fun to receive free stuff like stickers. It got to be an expensive hobby with the postage. It would be easier to collect and make requests these days by e-mail.

I have over 1,200 film score/soundtrack cds in my collection. I sold off many of my most rare/limited edition ones already.

Reading on all you collectors and thinking wonder if people in other countries are collectors".... I'm into my 10th yr of "getting rid of phase".....

[GentlemanJim]

Gotta leave something of interest for whoever finds my body. Don't want to disappoint them with just callous scrapers and half-used tubes of chap stick.

Wonder if anyone ever uses the abandoned tubes of chap stick found in possession of deceased people?. Usually I try to touch as little as possible of dead peoples personal effects.

good grief GJ, wild imagination !!

I collect:

Trading Cards--the first thing I ever collected was Wacky Packages in 1973
Record Albums
Comic Books
Movie/Teen magazines from the 60's and 70's

No,...not imagination at all. I've been the one to discover deceased people quite a few times, and I've been involved in cleaning out the estate of recently deceased people numerous times.
And there always seem to be a few loose ends, such as a half used chap stick, or other intimately personal items that you just don't want to touch.

You know a genuine "E'wwwww!" moment.
