What do you collect?

I collect seashells. I have always loved the ocean and would get as many shells as I could when we went on family vacations to California, but unfortunately rarely found any super cool shells. About 10 years ago or so, my father and I were cleaning out the garage and there was an old toy chest in there that had belonged to my brother and sister when they were small (they are 10 and 11 years older than me). My dad said it had been in the garage ever since our family moved to Arizona. So for the first time in 20 years he opened it. Inside were many bags of seashells, big and small. There were conchs, snails, sand dollars, clams, starfish, and a hundred other varieties. I asked my dad where they all came from. He said when they used to live in California (I was born in AZ) my grandparents used to being over tons of shells weekly to the point where my dad was sick of having shells eveywhere, so when the family moved here, he had bagged them and boxed them and forgot about them til that day. So that day my small collection expanded to museum exhibit proportions :p

I collect die-cast cars (Just started doing it lately), and computers. Yep I actually collect computers. My dad is always yelling at me that if I dont dump some of them, hes going to raise up my rent cause it takes up alot of space to store them.

These are a list of my computers that are not currently in use.

I've been collecting Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars since i was a little kid. Recently in the past year or two, i've been collecting beer bottles (i drank them first, or course!). so, afer each unique beer i drink, the bottle goes up on the shelf.

PowerMan and Ironfist comic books

I've got a massive collection of Lingerie. I can't go past a lingerie store without going in (and usually buying something :p ). I know it's not your normal everyday item to collect, but that's me! Some people collect shoes or clothes, I collect lingerie! :hehehe: :p

have you or anyone else noticed that Matchbox cars have gotten really crappy nowadays? i rememember back in the day, they were really detailed and much more realistic looking than Hot Wheels, thats why i always preferred matchbox.
