I collect early 80s Charvel and Kramer guitars.Vintage Marshall amps.My prize possession is my 69 Marshall 100 watt plexi head.Got the early Van Halen brown sound down to a science.Also got a collection of 70s MXR pedals.

Few years ago I was collecting the big Muscle Machines - Have about 25 - 30 - Not sure, They have been in the garage for about 5 years now. :(

1/18 scale diecast musclecars,Hotwheels and vintage car magazines from the 60's/70's

I have a collection of hubcaps, license plates, diecast, and automotive literature. Before I become involved with the muscle car hobby, I was knee deep in collecting baseball/footbal cards and some autographed sports memrobilia. I still have all of what I obtained, but I've been thinking of selling it off.

Yep. I collect civil war artifacts. I don't purchase them but use a metal detector to find and dig'em up :)

I collect old coins and bills. I have 2 $100 confederate bills form mississippi. I too love the civil war era artifacts. Neat stuff.

I collect just about anything to do with The Simpsons,foreign currency,movie figure characters,and some other stuff I'm forgetting.

I collect a lot...Hot Wheels redlines, other neat old toys, Marble Arms items (probably only you michigan guys know what that stuff is), a bunch of other stuff too.

I collect sports cards. I also go to estate auctions and buy of antiques including furniture, radios/record players and Roseville/Hull pottery.

I collect JUNK, anything to tinker with.

Toy tractors, mostly Fords... everything from the small 1/64th scale up to ride-on pedal tractors. I have about 12 of the pedal-tractors, but they take up a LOT of space, so I just store most of them in my basement. When I build a shop, I would like to build an office/toy-room to put all my collections in. :)

Dollar bills, so far I have 3.:D

Good one Hank!!! I'm going to try & do that. I think I have one some where!!

I collect empty Jack Daniels bottles (they are not empty when I get them), thats the fun part.

Seriously, I recently started collecting bald eagle sculptures, don't have too many yet but I am working on it.

Oh yea, fishing rods. I have about 30 of those, does that count? Everytime I go to The Bass Pro Shop I have to buy a new rod/reel.

I collect old car mags and literature and some bar signs and mirrors for the shop. I have several sports cards also but have not checked them out in years. Had a buddy make up this sign for me a couple years ago.

And a bunch of other crap that's pushing me out my front door. :D

Does dust count? I'm not as young as I once was. :D

I used to collect German militaria, but thanks to the internet those days are over. At least the stuff I've got is worth way more than I paid.

Antique farm tractors esp. old diesels.:beers:

Old stuff that I either find in the ground or in buildings destined for demolition. I like a lot of these old bottles ... but the VW tool kit boxes are really cool.

I have a collection of diecast race cars 1:24 scale. About 50 of them.

I have a bunch of Hot Wheels as well. Mostly early 90s on up stuff still on the card. Its been collecting dust and am planning to sell the entire collection peice by peice or the whole thing if I have to. Thousands of cars in my collection. Got totally burnt out in 03 after collecting for 3 years.

Used to collect football cards when I was a teen in the 80s. Still have that entire collection too but it doesnt take up nearly as much space so it can stay.

I have quite a DVD collection going now. I suppose I dont have to mention the cars parts I collect for a few different projects.

I collect debt, where do I find these dollar bills?

i collect pittsburgh pirate stuff. Ive got some pins from the early teens and some pennats from the late 20s and early 30s. Lots of stuff from the 60s and 70s as well.

Lots of dorky stuff. :)

My girl has collected almost $10 thousand dollars of Prescious Moments figurines.... I did an excel spreadsheet.... so she cant give me any crap about the chevelle parts ... :D

Coke stuff.....die cast cars.....license plates......the nicest 1979 Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special in existance....anything old and cool.........:thumbsup:

Shotgun shells and boxes(110 boxes with maybe a third full), Hockey cards complete sets from the early 70's till early 90"s, old farm tractor and implement manuals, old car manual.....................I think I have a problem! :)

I collect car brochures. I have thousands :)

Native American Artifacts and arrowheads. I've collected hundreds of them. Some I've found and others were left to me by an old friend who hunted them since the 1940's.

I use to have the green surf truck. I have the boss mustang still. I haven't been into my hotwheel colection in awhile. Them and matchbook collecting is all i've done.

I collect debt, where do I find these dollar bills?

They seem to be getting harder and harder to come by. Must be all those other collectors out there.

That's a good one :)

:cool::cool::thumbsup:

Hey Seb, do you collect artifacts too?

Hey Seb, do you collect artifacts too?

no :(... but I think that stuff is really cool , whenever I'm out in the woods around my house and I see all the stone walls, I start thinking how this place was years ago.
I also have a great respect for the Native American of old . :( :sad:

If you're ever out near your place and notice a plowed field on flat ground near a stream or river check it out. You might be surprised what's lying around.

I collect neon signs, match book/boxes and sand from every beach I've ever walked on. Someday I will light all the matches in one big goodbye!

I only collect one thing and most will probably find it odd, but I collect National Electrical Code books. I have some from the early 1900's and I have a copy of the first ever printed in 1897. Anytime I find old NEC books I snag them up.

My collection isn't worth crap to anyone else though, but that also makes it easy on me as I can buy the books for fairly cheap when I find them.

1/32 slot cars. I have almost 200 now and keep making or swaping or buying them. My latest creation: the 1967 Cougar:

Dan Gurney's 1967 Trans-Am car:

Nothing like winding down with 50 year old technology...wait a minute, I've got the Chevelle for that too.

My small gathering...

I got the opposite problem - need to get rid of stuff i collected (or my wife / kids) years ago and have no interest in any more

Me - Stamps - I got a whole bunch ( about 5000) of 50 year old foreign stamps

Kids - 10 year old beanie babies

Wife - 10 year old beads ... some expensive nice ones ... some crap...

Stuff like that ,,,
