    Default what do you collect?

    I think just about eveyrone collects something....
    toys, dolls, masks, bottlecaps, guns etc.

    what do you like to collect and are you more a fan of collecting for sentimental value or money value?

    do you do open displays or in package displays -that's more for toy collectors-

    etc. etc.

    i collect a lot fo things mainly cus it's things i like. i collect halloween props including masks,
    weapons and statues
    plushies, comics and toys.

    and i've never been a fan of keeping things in their original packaging for some reason.

    i dont collect things thinking thyey'll appreciate in value, i do it cus i like the thing im collecting.

    Knives, Hot Wheels and biker related paraphernalia

    You could say tools as well, but I use those to make a living.

    I think I accumulate particular things rather than collect them

    I do have a lot of comics though.............if they didn't cost so much I'd probably just chuck the older ones to free up space though

    At the moment I collect Console RPGs. I still open them and play them but after I'm finished I try to keep them in pristine condition inside their cases.

    I have a huge collection of four leaf clovers. When I was younger I was really shy and used to look at the ground when I walked to avoid making eye contact with people. I must have had good eyesight back then because I would randomly spot four leaf clovers while I was walking...I was also a lot colser to the ground then too so that probably helped

    Bats! (the flying type) - Could you of guessed?
    Although less on the cheesy Halloween plastic crap and more on the obscure, eccentric and cool stuff.

    Obscure and vintage (1940's-1970's) electronic music recordings. Records mostly. You can hear one of them highlighted on my first internet radio show over at http://www.cyberden.com/ (bottom of page: EPISODE #1:BLUEPRINT OF LIFE (1965-1985).

    ...and for some reason by looking at my killing jar, concert ticket stubs. Have no idea why...

    Posters out of Revolver and Metal Edge magazines, I usually don't even put them up, they just sit in a pile somewhere. In fact I've only got three that I've put up right now, but that's because I hate staring at the blank walls of this room.

    Other than that, I've got the Hawthorne Villages horror movie collection and I collect tattoos, sometimes other people's... I use to collect rubber duckies when I was little, but I don't have a single one anymore.

    i'd imagine it would probably be something like a glowedy pet rock no?

    in order to get em to show up you need the link with bb code to it instead of direct link.

    Im always finding them but I can never keep them. I press them dry in books, wich I always return to the library without checking them. If you got to Richmond, Windsor or Blacktown libraries in NSW Australia and find a four leaf clover in the back of a book, can I have it back?

    so when it comes to soul collecting, do you keep em in an open display? a birdcage? mason jar?

    I had a pet rock til my dog ate it.

    You have to get rid of everything after the .jpg, i.e. the "?" and the numbers after it.
