Baseball cards. Tons of 'em.

Well, that's by far my biggest "collection", anyway. I used to collect maps, but then Google Maps came along and I stopped. There was a period of time where I tried to get a collection of (mostly beer) bottle caps going, but then I went through an "alcohol is evil" phase and almost threw them all away. Though I didn't in the end and I still have a jar full of them. I also got really interested in coin collecting for a bit, although now all I'm still doing on that front is looking to get all 5056 state quarters.

On the digital front, the number of songs and images on my hard drive is pretty large, and ever growing.

My quirkiest collection? Dead batteries. Whenever I buy batteries for something, I always look and see if there's a brand I've never used before, so that once they're spent I can add them to my collection.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I also collect money, if you got any, don't hesitate to send it to me! Only bills above $ 100 are interesting for me.  :biggrin:

I mainly collect official state highway maps.  Not a big fan of the oil/gas company maps, though I'll grab older ones if they have a feature or something that is of note.

For the people who collect road signs: There's a bunch of misplaced I-99 signs in Pennsylvania!  :)

Road signs and licence plates seem to be the most popular here. I'm not surprised really as this is a roads forum.....

I have a few hundred of those sitting in a box in the attic. Loved 'em as a kid.
Another childhood toy that there's copious quantities of in my attic: Lego.

I collect autographs . . .mainly baseball autographs, but I have some interesting ones mixed in.

I got Sarah Palin before she was famous (and I didn't ask for one from her because I thought her politics were attractive  ;-) )

Judge Judy, Donald Trump, and others...

Coins are the most serious collection I have, especially American.  I collected model cars for years but they are in "well-loved" condition for the most part.

Only two things I collect and only one seriously.

I have a good collection of Road Maps and Atlases plus tourist info but I don't go out of my way to get more.

The only thing I'm serious about is video games.  I have nearly one of everything from the Atari 2600 to the XBox 360 and between 1,000 and 2,000 games.
