I used to collect hotwheels. I have a drawer full of unopened ones, but I'm guessing that at this point they're all still worth 99 cents. And I also collect Gambit comics, but there've been some new ones out that I'm slacking on. And I have around 30 decks of cards (poker, not pokemon), but not really collectable - I just really used to like playing cards. I stopped when the poker thing blew up and became some kind of sport - that is, everyone became better than me.

And I've been using invisible since I got here, you trendy bastards. Obviously that's why everyone's doing it.

i guess you could say i collect 80's casio synthesizers. because right now i have about 4 in my room (including an SK-5) but eventually they will opened and ripped apart and turned into trashy noise things.

SY stuff, horror movies, rock/music shirts, band/music DVD's, and Cal Ripken Jr. cards. I used to collect a ton of baseball and basketball cards, but quit collecting hardcore when I was 16 or so. I still love going to card shows every once in awhile and mainly just buy Cal cards/old Oriole player cards.

When I started reading the thread I thought I was a collector, but now I can't think of a thing I collect. Records count, I guess. It would seem as though we all do that though.

OH. QSL Verification cards from Shortwave stations spanning the globe. One of these days I'll post scans of them, as some of them are quite strange. I've been shooting for one from North Korea but it is seemingly impossible.

gmku · 08.17.2006, 03:16 PM

Records definitely count. When I think how many people out there don't collect records or CDs, it's kind of incredible. So many people I know just download or don't even bother with that.

Whats worse are the people who don't even listen to music. Yes, I know a few.

On the other extreme you have people like me who "collect" (meaning, buy) the same piece of music over and over. As in 5 copies of VU & Nico, 3 copies of the white album, ad nauseum.

Savage Clone · 08.17.2006, 05:21 PM

That is in fact part of what makes you more "collectorish." You need all the permutations, to the point where it may or may not even be about the music anymore. Sometimes it is (mono vs stereo, different mixes, better sound on one pressing vs another, etc), but sometimes it is about cover art, label, or in extreme cases, the freaking matrix numbers.

harris · 08.17.2006, 05:29 PM

yeh to me it was getting the point where if i liked a movie id buy it
and i would look at my collection an realize that hey i havent watched this again and ive owned it for 2 years

k-krack · 08.17.2006, 05:32 PM

i bought 2001: a space odyssey just because i had seen it antd thought it was awesome. it probably wouldn't be out of its packaging if my friend didn't borrow it.
