I'm collecting seeds to grow my own food.

I collect a variety of things here and there: coins, Archie and Peanuts comics, pamphlets, pinbacks, postcards -- and some oddball novelties (if I can manage to find them).

Coins.
Movie tickets.
Peanuts stuff.
Comic books but I kind of stopped adding to it. They're way too expensive and I just can't bring myself to care about Marvel or DC anymore. But I am on my way to collecting every volume of One Piece, if we want to throw manga in with comics

Well, I used to collect postage stamps, but I think the trick is to have specialisms from certain countries, when collecting.

During the early 2010's I would walk around town with a second-hand sports bag and collect bottles and cans. It was a relaxing hobby for me just going for a walk and scavenge for any recyclable material and cash them in for some extra cash. Once made over $400 over the spring after all the snow melted.

I retired from that hobby since getting a full time job in 2014. It was fun while it lasted.

Interesting...

I don't have a huge collection of any one type of thing, but I do have mini collections of:

• Bible translations
• rosaries (RC and Anglican--because I think they're beautiful)
• Dala horses (wood-carved horses from Sweden)

I only have two Dala horses currently, as those things are pricey; so my process of collecting them will be gradual. I suppose that's a good thing; that way, my home won't ever be overrun with them.

Hi; so are the Dala from Lake Siljan area, Dalarna province?

Yes, Bible versions can make an absorbing study. Some renderings don't vary a lot, such as the wonderful text in John 3.16. I used to have the King's 1917 Version in Swedish; think this is what it was called.

My ancestry is (thought to be) half Swedish, but I don't know my Swedish provinces whatsoever.

The import shop from which I bought my Dala horses has pamphlets on the Dala horse, which indicate that mine were made by a company called Grannas, located at Edåkersvägen 24, 792 77 NUSNÄS. Not sure if that helps, but more info. can be found on their website: http://www.grannas.com/.

Tack så mycket!

Du är välkommen. Och tack, Google Translate! (I don't speak a lick of Svenska. )

Well I guess I spoke some Swedish since before Google existed...

I collect many remakes of 1:25th scale model cars. Ed Roth models and Weird-Oh's models are my favorites, but I collect any that are of 1975 and back models. I also collect 45-records.

 

[Marcelmind]

I collected my empty Tic Tac containers. I'm kinda weird like that. In the end, I gave all of them to an old lady who collects plastic that she can sell somewhere.

I also collect Lakers or Kobe Bryant stuff.

Kind of a novelty way of recycling, I guess...

 

[Travelers.Soul]

Books, if that counts. Other than that I don't think I collect anything.
