I guess video games is the only real collection I have. I hate getting rid of games even if I don't play them (unless they are generally awful games and recent enough to where they're not rare by any means), and I've got quite a few rare games. Not surprisingly, I collect different copies of Night Trap, but that's such a small available TARGET I guess that it's not much of a collection. I have four different copies so there are only a handful of other releases I don't own (the nice thing is that the Japanese releases are incredibly cheap on ebay, like $3-$5). I will buy any and all 3DO games I come across if I can afford them, even if they're not games I ever want to play. ESPECIALLY if they have the box and everything.
I used to collect Beanie Babies as a child, already sold off most of them. I still have a couple of them. I still occasionally buy Pokemon and Magic cards, but I don't really know why anymore. I mean, I still play Magic on occasion but I play with the same two or three decks so it's not like the extra cards are adding anything. I have a collection of WoW cards but I stopped buying them because I don't know of anyone else with them and I only wanted them to play the game anyway so it's kind of useless now.
Also I collect Derby Owners Club cards that are left behind by people who either don't know about the card reader or small children that forget to take them. I don't even know why I started to do this, it's just a habit to me now to look around the game to see if there are cards there, and there usually are some in the pockets on the side of the terminals. Most of them either have poorly typed in names of famous horses or random collections of letters typed in by little kids.
