Title: COLLECTING
Post by: Kaz on September 01, 2008, 07:23:55 PM
What do you collect? Other than video games, of course, because we all already know that the majority of users here have a lot of video games, consoles, and handhelds.

I collect vinyls. In fact, vinyls are my most favorite decoration. I decorate my room at home as well as my dorm room in college with old rock vinyls. Right above me is the soundtrack to "Yellow Submarine," by The Beatles of course.

I'm not really sure how many I have. I'm guessing around 30. I just started collecting them recently, so I haven't amassed too big of a collection just yet.

I also used to collect coffee mugs from the places across the United States that I've been. My Alcatraz and Disneyland ones were my favorites.

I used to collect beanie babies when I was younger and I still kinda collect coffee mugs, but my parents rarely let me get them anymore because of how many we have. :D

I used to collect beanie babies too. The special bears are all I really kept, though.

You wouldn't if you had to store them olol

I had to help him move the collection twice.  Basically, there is about 30-40 in a crate, and he has a total of 65 crates.  Last time we had to move them, he had to rent a van and it took 3 trips and an entire day of exhaustive effort.

He's an oldies DJ...most of the stuff is quite old, actually.  He's got records from anywhere from 1898 on.

I still have all of mine in a spare room in my house.
I even had them in these plastic cylinder-shaped cases. XD

I've kept my absolute favorite ones in my room, which most of them were the special bears, the owl, (Class Of ...) and like 2 others.

Gaudy jewelry, mostly earrings, chokers, and bracelets.   

But not too gaudy.  I've seen some jewelry that even I thought was intercourse ing ugly. 

I used to have this adorable pair of dangly earrings, each had two heart-shaped loops.  They were heavy as hell, though.  I lost them a few years back. ;-;

That is correct.  State quarters are released at different times during the year.  Alaska should be out this fall, and Hawaii closer to the end of the year.

Regarding OP, my parents have a bunch of vinyls in the basement. My dad has Little Feat, Weather Report, Traffic, maybe some Yes. Things along those lines. I know there's also some Police and probably Led Zeppelin too.

Anyway, I usually just pick up anything I think that's cool. I also have a very small collection of foreign currency. Bahamian dimes have wavy edges.
