Do you "collect" anything? What is it, and do you display your collection?

I have a collection of split bamboo fly rods. And several banjos, both 4 string and 5 string.

Sweet! Looks like you might play the banjo some too?

I collect images of funny animals. I love animals and when they're being or doing something that brings a smile to my face, I have to catch it. I don’t really post it anywhere, I just keep them in a personal folder and send them around to friends from time to time.

I also collect images of all the way sports look so gay... funny pictures where you can’t help but wonder how athletes can be so homophobic with pictures like this. Those pictures I post on Pinterest under Sports are so Gay.

And music. I LOVE music. But not just the artist, I love the song. I love when others cover a song or a song gets remixed or even parodied. Depending on the song, I can listen to the same song by different people for hours before I run out. I have seven versions of Donna Summer singing I Feel Love. Another four versions of other people doing the same song. I have about twenty versions of Dancing Queen sung by all kinds of people. Disney is constantly redoing their older music using their newer artists, and some of those versions are spectacular. I have Selena Gomez singing Trust in Me from the Jungle Book. It’s brilliant. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah from everyone from Usher to Ric Ocasek. I have all of Beethoven’s works, most of Mozart, and lots of Bach... I have to keep my music on a separate hard drive because there’s so much of it.

I seem to collect musical instruments. I'm slightly embarrassed about it so I don't really display them as such but I do have a music room where I practice and we play in there when mates come around.
I play a few different instruments but I seem to have multiples 2 flutes, 2 banjos 3 ukulele, 3 concertinas, 2 fiddles, 4 melodeons, assorted whistles....
And that's not even a complete list.... 🙂 it's a relatively harmless symptom of my bipolar disorder

My magnets

My teacups

Yes. I have a collection of teacups; were bought in the places I visited and the only rule is that they must be made in England. My second collection is made of about 700 magnets; they represent every item in a household and also were bought in places I visited. I display both collections

On my lazy days, I am known to collect dust. It is really easy to do if you can remain still for long periods of time. 🙂

Shot glasses. Only a portion of the collection is on display at any given time.

I used to collect stamps. Well, I say that, but I was actually just given a bag of stamps as a kid and given a suggestion by my mother to start collecting. I never added a single new stamp.

brass bells in the shape of girls , blue china plates with depictions of life and paintings and yes they are proudly diplayed

oh and albums/ cd's

I used to collect glass bottles and kept them on a shelf in the front room before my ex wife put an end to it. I had an unopened coke bottle from Iran from my brother's deployment. Recently I've been turning bottle caps from drinks I like into magnets on my fridge.

Records and they are on full display in my living room. I also collect dog fur, as in the shedded dog fur from my lab and pug

I used to collect pressed pennies, but they seem to harder to find now.

I just keep’em and a leather book. But I haven't thought about displaying them differently.@pthomas59

Pens and headphones. No, I don't display them. Lol.

I downsized to minimalism a couple years back but I do collect cheap spiral notebooks for journalling. Can't get enough of paper. Used to have a collection of rice paper from the local art supply. Oh, I do have a collection of my son's children's books, my go-to books, these are in boxes at the moment. And, my artwork kept in a portfolio. Apparently, it's back to the old drawing board with minimalism...

I collect books on organized crime and lost baby items I find on the ground...rattles, bottles, bibs,pacifiers, toys- you name it...very funny story about how this started....I just wanted a collection nobody else in the world would have...it's in a box in the other room.

reading the biography of capone right now . wow that's alot of corruption. I hope america has somewhat changed its ways

@markdevenish Mark- there are a LOT of Capone books out there- read them all..also Lucky Luciano was way up there as well...fascinating reading...

I used to collect a lot of things: old pulp science fiction magazines, WW2 German militaria, comic books, anything to do with the TV show "Lost in Space." and so on. And then I realized that all of these great things were just boxed away (being out in the open can fade colors, making it all less valuable, after all). Occasionally, I would look st my stuff briefly, before boxing it all up again. One day I realized this was crazy, and I started selling the stuff off. Whenever someone asks about collecting stuff, I always say "My collection consists of what I haven't sold yet." If I got back into collecting, I'd collect Soviet or East German militaria, because the stuff looks interesting, the prices are relatively low, and because it's all so common, there are hardly any fakes on the market.

I have a Soviet melodeon 🙂

I have a nice collection of Day of the Dead items, as well as hippos......yeah, two very different things, but I love 'em! I display both but in different areas of my home. DOTD is a bit more personal, so I have those things in my bedroom/master bath. Hippos are in the guest bedroom.

I collect fish and love displaying them.

That looks like a serious tank!

yes, its an ex-display tank with 500 gallons in it. the fish is 24" long.

@LeighShelton 500 gallons? Wow! I have never seen one that big. Does its great size make its easier to keep properly regulated?

it's much easier. the bigger the tank the easier. I started off at about 13-14 with a 3` tank and still love them.

Physical things, I collect antique drinking glasses, hand made. Haven't had the money to do that much in recent years, but I like what I have. They are on display. Also quite a lot of coins, many very old. Don't add to that now. Some might be valuable, but I haven't looked at them for years. I collect a lot digital content now, on people I like, including photos, archive material and movies and TV. I'm quite assiduous on some people I especially like. Also books.

Broken hearts.... Lol Just kidding, I don't collect anything. Eventually everything starts irritating me, and I throw all the junk away

Oooo... Boy do I need to do more of that!
