I have collected a few things throughout the years. I have two now, but one main one.
The main one are LJN WWF wrestling figures from the 80's. I have almost the complete set in pretty good condition. I have a couple rare ones to go and added one that I needed last night. (If anyone has any, pm me)
The second I just started and my son has gotten really into. We bought some cheap Disney pins online and go to the parks and he loves to trade with the Disney employees. I buy a pin when we go to visit as well.
Edit: I have a decent collection of Jags memorabilia, autographs, and random stuff as well.....as well as my Less Than Jake collection.
Guns. I have many. Ammo as well. I have thousands upon thousands of rounds. Some would call it a freakish hoard.
Also, precious metals. I try to purchase at least two ounces of gold per year, silver and others when I see what I consider wise investments. No one calls this collection a freakish hoard.
I do not display my collections.
Musical instruments and vinyl records.
Beer. But the 'collection' never lasts long.

Unfortunately I fall into this same category.

Now that's interesting- how many musical instruments do you have? Do you have a "theme"- vintage, interesting styles/look or just anything?
Hats though I hardly wear them
Camo t shirts
Da Rent!

I probably only have about 9 or 10 instruments plus an assortment of recording equipment. I purged much of my collection when I moved 2 years ago.
The theme is mostly "functional" since music is my profession. I do prefer vintage gear - or modern boutique makers of vintage designs.
I just remembered -- I do collect one other thing. When you perform at a music festival you receive an "artist badge" as your backstage credentials on a lanyard. I've kept a couple hundred of those over the years and counting. They are in shoe boxes in my closet.
It's silly-sentimental, I know, but I think combing through them years from now will bring back a flood of memories from my travels.

Not silly at all, I did a similar thing with matchbooks and with tickets to events, sporting or otherwise- I saved them for many years from all over. It's cool now to pull out the box of about 1000 matchbooks and look through them, many of them tell a story or recall a good time. I'm glad I kept them.
Funny, a sports ticket to one event is almost the same as to any sports event; a matchbook from a bar in Cheyenne, Wyoming brings back much more specific memories.

Boy, I thought I told you to stay up on the porch.
Besides firearms my only other "collection" is probably weird to some people.
I'm an electronics/computer geek. I have a lot of electronics test gear from the '70's, '80's and '90's which includes power supply's, oscilloscopes, multi-meters, etc.
I also have a few vintage computers including an Altair 8800, a Commodore 64 and parts of a PDP-11. I've been kind of watching for an original Apple 1, though it's not a high priority for me. I'm not willing to shell out what some people are asking for them. An Apple 2 is cool, but not really the same.
I collect bills. I have several boxes of unopened bills in my garage.
I don't really collect anything. I just buy random [BLEEP] I don't need in all honesty. I picked up a cheap electric guitar, a didgeridoo, some paint and a few canvases to express my artistic freedom but then I found myself lacking the willpower to do any of that [BLEEP]. So technically it's collecting dust for the time being.
