Do you collect anything?

most people collect something at some stage of their lives. for years I collected cabbage patch dolls, even though i wasn't even born when they came out.

do you collect anything nowadays, and is there anything you used to collect that you now consider stupid. like cabbage patch dolls!!

I have found bus timetables to be quite useful.

I collect cameras.

especially ones from the 50's and 60's.

I and I can imagine some people my age on here used to collect the Pokemon cards when it was all the rage back in the late 90's, I had at least 200 of the buggesrs.

I have a collection of match day programmes and away match tickets to games I have been to following the whites over the last 10 years and the odd cup ticket too, I have to keep last years wembley ticket hidden away as I brake down in tears when ever I see it.

Of course Natasha, I also have a collection of women in their 50's & 60's hung on my bedroom wall. They moaned at first but they seem ok with it now. It's a bitch when they croak though.

I collect old Blackburn tops, my wife loves my hobby.

Doctor Who DVD's - The classic series (only buy the box sets of the new series)

I know, if I wanted, I can sell Now11 (which was the 1st one on CD for sale at same time as the vinyl albums - before 1-10 were released on CD about 4 years ago), I can sell it for about GBP50.00 - not bad considering I paid about GBP18.00 at the time!



Best ones are the Now1-10 vinyls which now sell between 50-80 quid at a time!

I collect hip-hop CDs from the 80's & 90's as I've mentioned on previous posts.

When I was younger I collected Spectrum 48k games made by Mastertronic.

Used to collect the tops off tubes of Smarties, when they had letters on. Also use to collect them shit toys you get in kinder eggs.
