I used to collect Beano comics when I was younger. I only got about 70 issues in a row before I missed one and stopped.

I have a shitload of legos but that's not really collecting.  I mean, some people do collect legos, but most kids just have/had a lot of them.  Having a lot of something and collecting something are different things.

Ever since I was young I've been obsessed with collecting something whether it be coins, pokemon cards, etc etc.

At the moment I go to the local comic store each week to pick up a few titles, I'd say I have probably 1.5k+ comics or so.

I also do comic book art, I used to get one or two commissions every once in a while, but that was way before I discovered I could get free sketches at signings and whatnot in a book - which was much more convient + free. I have a crapload in my sketch book, theme is "movie characters".

I used to do action figures, I would still like to but it's too costly. Of course I do not open them. For some reason I do not like exposing things to the world and whatnot, it disturbs me. I have them all hung on a wall.

My favorite thing to collect is, of course, autographs. I try to go to signings as much as I can, but going on 1 hour train to NYC + $17 roundtrip ticket is costly. I've only done one premiere (The Dark Knight) but I don't do those kinds of things because they come up on short notice, and also they're not guaranteed; thus wasting money. I haven't gotten an autograph in person in a long time since Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Daniel Dae Kim(Lost, and Boondock Saints Troy Duffy and Sean Patrick Flannery at NY Comic Con, so while I wait for something good to come up I started sending requests though the mail. Yeah, ttm stuff may not be legit, but I know which ones are not secretarial, preprints, or autopens.

I've built up a decent collection, I have like, Nicolas Cage, Bill Cosby, Michael Madsen, Gene Hackman, cast of TDK, Spike Lee, Hideo Kojima, Hayden Panettiere, Bruce Campbell, Kristen Bell, etc etc etc.

Quote from: wiki
Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first for the adjective by the Oxford English Dictionary, and is standard spelling in British English, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid, and has come to be common spelling in the United States.

but lol wiki quote

I used to collect Star Wars figures when I was young....

The only thing that I do now that could be considered collecting is downloading paint programs...
heh I'm such a nerd
If an image says a thousand words, and a video shows 24 images each second, then why couldn't they condense everything I needed to learn at school into one hour long video :V

I mostly just collect books and experiences

I have some really amazing books though, and some really old shit too. My goal is to create a library and donate it to OSU when I die

i used to collect comics I have a ton of really old xmen and spiderman ones that are probably worth a lot now but those are all in my moms attic

thesedays i don't really have any collections but my wife spends a ridiculous amount of money collecting gold and silver coins from all over the world. I used to get pretty annoyed at her spending hundreds on those things, but now I guess a lot of them are worth over a G and they're pretty easy to sell so.....
