Anyone here collect stuff for a hobby?

I collect autographed baseballs, baseball cards and stamps. I enjoy the history of a lot of it, but I've started to realize that it seems a lot of people out there don't collect anything. Any takers?

Stamps? really?.. Baseball things cool tho. When I lived in France (I was 5) I used to take the caps of the Champaign bottles from my parents and put them in a shoe box. After 2 and a half years we moved back to Canada and I had the shoe box full. Only thing Ive ever really collected besides pokemon. and yes, I did collect them all.

When I was 9 I found my dad's stamp album from when he was a kid and started to fill it in. He had a heart attack about two years ago, and ever since then its kinda been a bonding thing to work together and finish the album.

I collect posts on NS. Just got another one!

Seriously, over the years I have collected a few things, but they always seemed to be motivated toward a quick turnaround financially. I think that doesn't make me a collector, so much as an ethusiast.

I used to mine gems and such before I moved. I'd go to a mine and fish out emeralds, rubies, saphires and such. Even got a piece of hiddenite, the super rare mineral that mine is famous for, worth a few hundred dollars :)

i collect music. i am very proud of my music library actually

i enjoy seeking out new music that nobody knows about. kind of like the way a stamp collector collects the rare stamps i guess.

my brother used to collect bottle caps, and i'd help him

i collect flies (for fly fishing), but that might not be collecting because they have a practical purpose also. still fun tho

i have a massive collection of baseball/football cards from when i was a lad.
now when i'm at the beach with the fam, me and my little brothers will walk along the beach and find sea glass. it might be the most fulfilling thing when you find a blue or red piece. i don't know, it's just a way for me to bond with my little bros considering i'm away at school all year.
