Although I'm certain there's got to be a thread like this somewhere, I was unable to find it.  Therefore, if there is, I apologize.

I was thinking last night though.... Is there anything unique that you like to collect?  I'm not talking about trading cards or parking tickets (though in it's own right, it'd be interesting if someone intentionally collected them!  LOL).

What started you collecting those things, and how big is your collection? Are there any pieces you're looking to add if it's a known collection?  How much money have you put into it?

I just like to collect silly small things.  Don't ask me why, but I like to collect dice, for example. I've always loved them but I can't remember why.  I have green ones, pink ones, red ones, white ones, large ones, small ones.... etc.  I collected pogs and marbles at one time as well, but my parents got rid of those during one of our many moves.  I also seem to have an obsession with stickers and sticky notes. 

I know there are other weird things I like to collect, but I can't think of them at the moment.  When I think of them in the future, I'll add them.

My prized collection, though?  I collect really, really old bibles.  I remember first seeing one in an online police auction, and out of curiosity I bid on it... paying about $40 for it.  It was around 80 years old, and when I received it in the mail, I was absolutely enthralled.  There were pressed flowers in it, as well as a program for a remembrance service of a family member that had died.  I loved the old, fragile papers... the cracking leather, and faded family tree written in flourished calligraphy with a fountain pen.

I went back to the police auction site and bought several more, though they were always a rare find.  I have four, ranging between 80 and 130 years old.  I think I've spent about $150 on them, and I would definitely like to add more at some point.  Even just the idea that these were valued possessions in some families is enough to make me treasure them.  Passed down from generation to generation, they got lost in time somewhere, which is a little sad.  I like to think about the families that held them and treasured them, treating them as sentimental objects and heirlooms.

i used to collect dieces but i gave them away ages ago for this school thing. i had 17 of them

my sister collects cinema tickets and she has about 25 of them. she sticks them up on the wall in her room like she does with other random stuff like sweet wrappers.

I am collecting Rock band Cd like journey, Queen, and other band I love. They are my favorite type of music and I listen to them all the time. Then I love to collect video game that is anime like Dragon ball z, Naruto, Naruto shippuden, Yugioh5ds, Yugioh, Yugioh gx, and other anime I love it. These game are awesome and I keep collect them and play all the time. Last I collect yugioh card and I still has them with me all the time. So I just to collect stuff that is anime. These are thing I like to collect it and won't stop it.

A girl I found interesting started collecting wild looking "Keychains". Her impulse buy was always a "Tweety bird". She had maybe 100 Different "Tweety bird" keychains.

I always considered starting an odd collection of Bottle Openers.
Saw "Cool Hand Luke" one day and tried to find a cool looking bottle opener that would go around the neck and not be noticeable. (Failed. They all look cool but never around the neck.)
Still I find it kind of funny the wild things you find with a bottle opener on them.

Like many a guitarist.... I have a Large collection of guitar picks. In any shape or form. Patches that are sewn onto clothes, metal necklace pendants, Rings (both practical and fashionable), Mugs with pick dispensers, Shot Glasses with picks painted on them Or encased, Hats with pick pockets, (remember the cell phone holster craze?) Pick holsters with a clip of picks (like a gun clip),,,... Picks Picks Picks. I almost bought a crib mounted "baby mobile" that had a bunch of picks on it. (Yes folks. Addiction can be sad.)
I am not certain if mine is strange though.
This thread just started so....

Any way.
Good Luck To All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.

I have several collections. The only one I really tend to add onto now is my Baseball collection. I have around 50 Baseballs from different places, including NASA, and Washington D.C. .
