    I lost 100s of thousands of dollars worth of collections in The Tornado. So I find it hard to collect anything but small inexpensive Sonic Screwdrivers and small desktop Tardis's. Someday I will come across the real thing (Tardis) and go back in time and move stuff around.

    I used to collect money, but it's value kept dropping. 

    Not money,coins! That's another collection I have. Sometimes I forget what I have collected. Ex- Wives ?

    I lied. I've got about every kind of token but cigar. How about a soap token?

    Cool token, but I had to limit myself to tobacco tokens or it gets overwhelming

    It's bronze. Kind of pricy metal for a soap token. Silver dollar size. I found three Ford tokens in the same hole and they were dollar size and bronze too. 1933

    I use to collect beer glasses from every brewery I went to. That lasted a year until I realized I go to a lot of different breweries.  I have about 50 glasses, most from that year.

    Coins, railroad stuff of every shape and form (lanterns cast iron signs builders plates oil cans etc etc), pint glasses (just started), telegraph insulators, cigars o'course, antique furniture, antique cameras...hmmm...sure I left some stuff out. Used to collect post cards but the entire collection got ruined when our basement flooded in 2008.

    Would like to start collecting actual telegraph keys and sounders at some point, but they's expensive!

    seaweed and leaves for the garden, everything else is an accumulation that settles into whatever space it can find.

    Got any seafood around there? We have frozen shrimp,frozen fish,frozen lobster,and canned crab bits. :(
  • silvermousesilvermouse Posts: 21,093 ✭✭✭✭✭
    clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, quahogs, razor clams, lobsters, (skate 'n dogfish if you are not picky); herring, bass, flounder, and bluefish in season; tuna for the guys with boats and spotter planes. The cod fish stock is greatly endangered due to over-fishing.

    I love seafood. Tear,tear.

    Cigars and beer. Yes I smoke and drink but I accumulate faster then I consume.

    I collect guitar picks that I’ve acquired from concerts

    I collect shot glasses, but don't drink whiskey.
    I collect beer steins, but don't drink beer. Cause that makes total sense, right?

    I collect baseball memorabilia. 
    Signed baseballs, game used bats, etc.

    And I collect cookie jars. My grandmother used to keep a cookie jar full of cookies.
    After she passed away, my grandfather made sure it was kept full. 
    To this day, certain cookie jars are ones I have to have. Still not quite certain why.

    And I collect hot rod parts, memorabilia and stuff.
