I mean other than rock band memorabilia. I know a lot of you have massive Queen collections.
I love collecting things, and I spend at least an hour a day adding to and organizing my collections. My parents and friends think I have lost it, so I was wondering if any of y'all collect anything - typical or unusual.
My collections:
-Bugs (unsure of number)
-Coins (Morgan dollars, Lincoln cents, and statehood quarters, about 500 total.)
-Hourglasses (55)
-Ballpoint pens (274)
-Calandars (29)
-Airsickness bags (21)
-Candles (68)
Football (soccer) replica shirts.
I for the most part have national teams. Club team shirts are cool, but they make me feel like a walking billboard ad.
I also collect coins and bills from different countries.
I was collecting Coca-cola stuff, but I have kinda cooled off with that lately. The only other thing would be carnival glass, although I don't have that much and no way to display it as of yet. I have plenty of various knick knacks in boxes, as well.

Handbags
Stamps
Postcards
Photo stills (autographed or otherwise)
I started a bouncey ball collection a long time ago..and it didn't really get to be that big. I also remember collecting wads of gum around the third grade...I had this plastic cup pratically filled to the top with the gum I chewed, and the worst part is..I was planning to chew it when it was complete. Eventually, my mum found out and made me throw it away. Heh, looking back, I'm glad she found out. :-p
I suppose I could say that I have a gel-pen collection. When they were a big hit, I went crazy and would buy huge packs that had like 25 pens in them and the smaller 5 packs. So now I have a draw in my desk that is chuck-full of gel pens. They actually come in handy.

I have a large-ish Coke collection but a house fire destroyed about 300 cans, bottles and beakers which at the time was worse for me than the fire itself :( I couldn't replace the special ones (500ml-size cans depicting the various football cups, a cherry coke can in an old design which you were supposed to peel off to reveal the new one underneath) so I didn't bother replacing any of them, but I've still got the usual stuff like badges, posters, pens, tins (and my ticket for the Coca-Cola Cup Final in 1993) and a few American bits brought back for me stashed away. Oh, and I've got the Coca-Cola ice-bucket acquired *cough* from one of our city centre bars a good decade or so ago and a couple of other bits, plus two clocks, a mirror, pictures and a plaque which I keep on display.
I also collect ANYTHING to do with Giant Pandas, although I'm in the process of getting rid of some of my cuddly ones.

Holy...what does that one look like?
It's pretty hard to see because i dug it up but it has Queen Elizebeth the first on the front and on the back 2 things criss crossing eachother and in tiny print the date at the bottom. Any of them from 1721 onwards have the king or Queen on front and Brittania written on the back with a picture and very small date at bottom. Hope i havn't said it all too confusing. I love digging up old coins. It's pretty fun.

Do u have Romania?
Nope but I'd love to get a Romanian shirt from 1994 with Gheorghe Hagi's name. However, chances are that I won't ever find it since it was from more than 10 years ago.
I only have... Mexico, Portugal, Brazil, Germany, England, Colombia, USA, Argentina, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.

I like beach-combing and collect seashells and other things I comb on the beach, such as sea weeds, glass pieces rounded by waves. Sea weeds are pressed and used for a sort of art(?)... :)
And I collect many kinds of stones... not "Rolling Stones"...
