serum7 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've migrated many times through various collections. I used to have a ridiculous amount of Transformers (the toys), then I got into the Neo Geo arcade scene and had a machine and a ton of games, I had the entire run of Marvel Legends figures (and offshoot lines) up until shortly after Toy Biz started making them. Each time I moved on I sold the previous collection to fund the next. I have a ton of comics from when I was little and buy the occasional trade but I don't actively collect them. Records are about it anymore. I always bought vinyl here and there, but nothing like I do now. I still have an arcade machine as well but only a couple games (X-Men vs. Street Fighter and X-Men: COTA). A few screenprinted posters here and there too.

hobohunter48 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 As a future english teacher...I have to say I'm not far behind...except I don't have the awesome borders bookshelves so I have most of mine stored away in giant plastic containers... I also have about 950 DVDs....most of them horror films... Future english teacher here too, but not too many books accumulated yet. I save all my tickets from movies that I've seen and since I get to see them for free from working at a movie theater I have lots of them. I also have tons of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball Z, and baseball cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlwinslow Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I try and get a poster from every show I go to. I have one from every Murder By Death show I've been to except one (which I'm pissed I missed out on). But I have about a dozen of those. More bizarre would be my pop collection which used to be much bigger than it is now, but I've kept a few of my favorites. (Pepsi Bape can, Pepsi Retro from Mexico) However, the cans I will never get rid of would be my imitation Dr. Pepper cans. Such as Dr. Thunder, Dr. Pop, Mr. Pig, Dr. Spice, Dr. IGA, etc. I would love to keep adding to that so if anyone has anything, let me know! I get cans of Dr. Hy-Vee from, you guessed it, Hy-Vee. Oh and I found this http://fakedrpepper.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Books. Fuck Kindles and Nooks, there's something awesome about being surrounded by a library of books in your house. I have three full size bookshelves that are overflowing and the only problem is that I havent' found a nice way to organize them. I'm actually considering dewey-decimalling my personal books, but that really seems overkill. selfreliable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afireinside7444 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I want the Thunderbird. Its a Epiphone PRO IV that I gutted the terrible active pickups and put in a set of Seymour Duncan passives. Its pretty dark sounding due to the Mahogany body/neck even with bright ass Dadarrio round wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philviral Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Surprised nobody said porn yet. I guess people don't really collect it now that we have the internet lol. I don't know if I'd say I'm a book collector, but I certainly have a fuckload of them. Yep, a fuckload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 After records my baseball memorabilia collection is my most significant. I probably have 75 balls to go with assorted photos, cards etc. My Hank Greenberg ball is my most valuable. My Yogi Berra ball is my most personal. And my Mickey Mantle balls are a connection to my father. After that stuff it's shelves of books. My autographed Don Marquis 1st edition of Archy and Mehitabel is my favorite as it also has a personal letter to a fan written by Marquis in the 1930's. (Now, who here has any idea who this guy is?) I've also got a significant accumulation of graphic novels and TPBs. I used to have a nice collection of original Comic Art but I scaled it back after selling some pages. I have some nice one's from Jason, Ed McGuinness and Tim Sale still. One of my hobbies had to give and I figured this one made the most sense. I'm looking forward to having a 1st class collection of my kids Macaroni Art someday but he's still a little young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
