The main thing that I collect is diecast cars from the Disney franchise Cars. I've been amassing a collection of them ever since third grade, and though buying new ones has slowed over the past few years, I probably have about 1,000 of them at this point (haven't counted them in a while, but it was pretty close to 1,000 last time I checked). I also collect CDs and vinyl records.

Yes

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:06

Yes

Coins, rocks and minerals.

What do you collect, Nicholas?

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:06

Didn't read the top in time. Whoops.

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 01:08

Spelled my name wrong, naturally.

Oh yeah, I used to keep up with coin books back in elementary school. I still have them, actually.

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:08

Damn! Sorry dude.

And nice! What coin book was it?

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 01:10

I just checked the drawer they're in (conveniently, they're in a drawer at the desk I'm currently sitting at) and they seem to be Whitman coin collection books.

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:11

Neat! You'll have to take a couple of pictures of the coins you have.

Joeyy | 14-02-2015 01:23

Yes

Commemorative coins - 50ps, £1 coins, £2 coins, £5 coins (not in circulation), £20 coins (not in circulation). On display in my room.

I don't now, but I collected beanie babies when I was a kid. I had around 80 of them at one point. As you can tell it paid off. Beanie babies turned out to be worth the millions they said they'd be. I think I sold most of them for like a dollar at a yard sale.

Joeyy | 14-02-2015 01:34

...I gave my collection to a charity last year. :/ Bloody better not have been worth millions.

JDolla | 14-02-2015 01:36

Yes

Bones. Human bones.

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 01:36

Sure thing. Here's pics of my commemorative state quarter book, which is the main one I put dedication into back then: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

And while I'm at it, here's a picture of a few of the diecast cars I mentioned (nowhere near all of them, but just a few shelves of them)

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:38

That's neat! Thanks for posting those!

Joeyy, don't forget that some of them came to me too.

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:39

And all of those cars are cool, Nicolas. I liked the little Spongebob to the left.

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 01:41

...I gave my collection to a charity last year. :/ Bloody better not have been worth millions.

It really depends on which ones you had. Some Beanie Babies are worth a penny while others can be worth over $1,000.

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 01:42

And all of those cars are cool, Nicolas. I liked the little Spongebob to the left.

Hah, I knew someone would point out that SpongeBob - he's actually one of many McDonald's toys I have lined up against the windowsill. I guess you could say I collected those for a time, as well

Olivia_Ka | 14-02-2015 01:42

Yes

Cat figurines. I must have at least 35 of them.

Captain_Keeta | 14-02-2015 01:53

Haha, it's a neat collection you have, Nicolas.

Joeyy | 14-02-2015 01:57

What are those coins, Nicolas? Does each state have its own commemorative coin?

Nothing that wasn't at least fairly easy to replace, Jeff. I think only one or two were from my own collections... I can't actually remember what I sent.

Joeyy | 14-02-2015 01:58

I don't think I had any rare Beanie Babies.

fishmunky | 14-02-2015 02:11

Yes

comic books and guitars

PracticePractic | 14-02-2015 02:27

Yes

A variety of items---not expert in any one area, but know enough of what to get or avoid....

MCSMeister | 14-02-2015 05:08

What are those coins, Nicolas? Does each state have its own commemorative coin?

Yup - basically each year from 1998 to 2008, 2 coins would be produced for 5 states. I don't know if you can tell from the images, but each state coin has a P or a D engraved on it (Philadelphia or Denver mint, respectively). So, 10 years, and each year had 5 states get coins produced for them, so 50 states total (and 100 mints).

It's a hard thing for me to explain but I still remember the basics from back then. If anything Jeff could probably explain it better than I can, but I think that made some sort of sense.

saina | 14-02-2015 17:01

Yes

Do beauty products count?

Juliet86 | 14-02-2015 18:57

I don't have shelves of stuff just sitting there, being collections. The only things I collect are things I actually use. I have a bit of a comic book collection, and 'Doctor Who' stuff, but only usable things, not figurines or things like that.
