Unpaid bills and broken hearts,in that order. Well, you did ask!

Well...aside from body parts...
No no no! Just kidding!
They confiscated that collection a long time ago!
Actually, I don't collect anything at this point in my life. That is a little weird for me, because I definitely have a collector's personality!
I don't know if the following photo qualifies as a collection, but I have a really funny story about these paperweights. I work as a manager for a medical billing company. I am one of 13 males who work here at a company with over 220 employees. As such, I take a little bit of ribbing from the "fairer sex" here at work.
About a year ago, a new employee started in one of my departments. She was a bit of a suck-up, and was always complementing various people - usually the supervisors and managers. One day, I was on the phone at my desk, when I became aware that she was standing there waiting to ask me a question. As she was standing there, she was looking at my paperweights, which were lined up along the back of my desk. When I got off the phone, she opened the conversation with the statement "I like your balls." The department supervisor and administrative assistant who were sharing office space with me at the time both cracked up. They were actually down on the floor laughing with tears streaming down their faces. The poor girl stood there for a moment, then when comprehension dawned - RAN out of the office. I had to go to her desk and sooth her and tell her that she was a valued employee and asked her to please stay.

We collect bottles. mainly, green mason jars. we have an extensive collection, of which many are valuable.
One of most prized bottles, in our collection, is the first whiskey bottle used by Jack Daniels Distillery. it is a three-part bottle.

My collection sounds uninspired after these intriguing answers - baseball cards. I used to collect kitchen gadgets but they started invading my space, and, I think, secretly devouring the contents of my pantry while I slept. But the coolest was this apple-corer thingy - you coiled the snake's tail, and its tongue spiraled through the apple.

I collect my ideas. I carry a t-mobile SideKick and email ideas to myself. Some are 5 words. Some are 5 paragraphs. I recommend it highly. Even if you never review the ideas, you can feel the new build on the old. If you don't have a religion, this can be one. Ask the most important questions you can. Answer as honestly as possible and act with the greatest sincerity according to those answers. Go forth my child.
by travis bickle on November 18th, 2006
I had a stamp collection for a while, currently they are all at the bottom of a desk drawer being squashed. I'm thinking decoupage.

I used to collect fortunes from fortune cookies and I kept them in a really cool carved box. It was a pretty large collection and whenever I had friends over, we'd pass the box around and read our fortunes... recently my daughter found the box and decided to continue the collection.

i collect all and any kinds of music ..500-600 cds
by donovan reynolds. on December 12th, 2006
I collect interesting pictures. Like vintage/old black and white ones. It's a lot easier when you know how to take them hahah. But if I encounter one on the internet I save it to print out one day, or just to keep in a folder to look at later. I have bunches, I don't even know how many.
I am also going to start a collection of autographs by my favorite musicians. I don't really have many, yet, by thats why I am just now starting it.
I also have a vast collection of cds. Not like I try to collect them for a hobby or anything, but I have hundreds of those and they accumulate pretty quicky, because I buy one (or burn some... shhh!) almost every week.

I have been collecting vintage video game systems for about three years now. I have a 9 year old boy and we have been collecting these vintage systems and the games that went with them. It has brought back memories from my youth and he loves having his friends over and showing them our collection. Last week we got "Crazy Climber" for the Atari 2600. We have 16 vintage game systems in all.

Frogs. Not real ones, of course. I collect decorative frogs or anything else that has a frog on it - t-shirts, incense burners, etc.

I collect antiques from different countries. Also, I collect certain things, that I find interesting, from all of the religions I've studied. My favorite are the two alters from Tibetan Monk Monestaries. I also collect fish. I love fish, so I have several aquariums that have different fish in them. I even have a "fish room" that has fish all over the walls, fish art, bamboo, and starfish in fishing nets.
by HappyJeans on November 16th, 2006
Well for a very very long time I collected dolls from all the countries i had visited or my dad had visited on business (thats how it started) However i had a complete declutter about a year ago and currently they are all sitting in a bit plastic box under my bed. My favorite one (a puppet from indonesia) is displayed downstairs, but for the meantime i'm not adding to my collection until i display it again. (to be fair i havn't actually beeen anywhere since then)

I collect very old books. I have a ton of them, including a first edition Around the World in 80 Days and A Tale of Two Cities. Those are my favorites...but they are hard to find, and kind of expensive.
by muguet on December 18th, 2006
I used to collect stamps when I was little. I was at my parents' house the other day, and my mom came across a box full of different things of mine - including my old stamp collection! I had no idea that I'd even saved it. Maybe I'll start collecting them again.

by babyccat on December 13th, 2006
I collect ceramic cats and anything else "catty"
I have no idea how many I have - it's a lot.
Also fridge magnets - the door is covered with them. I keep saying one more and the door will fall off.
by Just_Wondering...... on December 12th, 2006
Let's see......where do I begin? For starters, I haven't looked at some of my collections for a while, so I might be guessing on some of the numbers. --Well I collect stamps, and I have more then I should have, 'cause I bought more than half of them new! --I collect money (no joke, and not in a savings account either!). I have some old Canadian $1, $2, $5, $50, & $100 bills from a few differant eras, as well as some money from other places that friends have brought back from their travels, like China coins, Holland coins, & a few African small bills. --I used to catch and dry butterflies and pin them to a corkboard when I was younger and lived in the country, so I have about 12, give or take. --I collect key ring thinggies (the things on your key rings that aren't keys, but decoration), and I have probably about 2 ziplock bags full (maybe 20 +/-). --I also collect good books, and I have so many that I need to get another shelf (don't know how many of those I have). Comprehensive enough?? Good.

I used to collect foreign currencies, and then I got bored so I started collecting poststamps, and then I got bored of that, so right now I'm not really collecting anything.

I collect gold bullion. I've been collecting it for years. I'm worried that when the world becomes one government that money will be worthless.

Gold may also be worthless, Carla. I figure petroleum and uranium will become the only minerals of worth.

by will_752 on July 29th, 2008
I prefer arrowheads and spearheads, as well as old branding irons and old strands of barbed wire which were made over a hundred and thirty years ago. I know, I am weird. I like old, neat rocks, too. I pick them up out of river and creek beds. Some go back to the preCambrian period and the Jurassic. Some are actually dinosaur "poops".
