DWTK - Do you collect stuff?

Daise · 11-11-2006, 05:38 PM

What do you collect? Or what have you collected in the past?

Anything goes, 1960's playboy mags, coca-cola memoribillia, stamps, etc...

DWTK rules apply, no "that is gay" or "there was this one time, and band camp..." or anything to do with bike parts (cos it doesn't count). BONA FIDE collectors only!

I collect Empire Magazines - still missing issue #1 and November '06 though

I also used to collect keyrings - generally ones from towns. not so much into it anymore as when i was 12.

motorbike parts I cant use

also shot glasses and reems of pages of printed lecture notes

chief wiggum · 11-11-2006, 06:08 PM

stubby holders. every pub i went into, every town i worked in, i'd grab a stubby holder.

dunno how many, but they go all the way round the room, 2 high

at least they're more useful than the wifes cow collection

Australian circulated coins. 1$, 50 and 20 cents. If you actually pay attention when you get change, there are some really nice designs in circulation.

I collect rare kids books - and it's a bloody expensive hobby!! When the books were less rare I had no $$$ and by the time I had a reasonable job/salary the prices had gone sky-high.

A nice friend saved me $500 a couple of years back by GIVING me her copy of a really rare one for my birthday, but there's still plenty more out there in $1K-$1500 price bracket that I still need to complete the collection - Anyone got any spare Brent-Dyers they want to donate ;-) !!!

Also got one of the few totally complete sets of Guinness Books of Records in existence - every year since 1955 ;-)

Fozzy · 11-11-2006, 07:59 PM

I collect Beer bottles and Police Patches

Dubs · 11-11-2006, 08:01 PM

i speculate on comic books being made into movies and therefore going up in value (mainly coz i cant afford the really expensive ones atm)

jack.campbell · 11-11-2006, 09:59 PM

Vintage BMX bikes(Just started)

millsy · 11-11-2006, 10:42 PM

Comics

Phantom, X-men, Uncanny X-men ,Wolverine, Hulk etc...

And toys'n'stuff. Models from Neon genesis Evangelion, Macross ( got some sweet macross stuff), Got some awesome transformer stuff as well.
Got a big Die cast replica of the Millennium Falcon too.
I really stopped buying this stuff years ago but every now and then I see something cool that I want so I buy it.
couldn't help myself when I saw this= Starscream
I blame my parents for not buying me any comics, giving away all my starwars figures and my brother for breaking all my transformers.

Man I just can't understand why the babes aren't beating a path too my door

Got some huge movie banners too, Got a massive Hulk one and three ceiling ones from Pearl harbour of the undersideof Japanese Zero's flying overhead looks v.cool plus more.

edit: And beer glasses got a f**kload of beer glasses...
