Was dust one of the categories you were thinking about? lol

I used to display it, but I learned that human skulls make people feel uneasy.

I used to collect die-cast cars; still have a few. That started mainly because a house I once bought had a room with shelves covering half of one wall and I needed something to put on them.

I collect fish and love displaying them.

I used to collect comic books. I haven't in a long time. I still have boxes of old ones that I am giving to my nephew. They are probably worth some money.

I started collecting old woodworking hand planes, but they're not just to look at. I also use them. After I while I grew tired of collecting them, and stopped buying every one I found. I do still have quite a few though.

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.

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

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...

A good old classic scotch colletion never fails to have around

I collect...memories, pictures and words.

Dragons...displayed on a shelf in the office in my house. Mostly ceramic, mostly all insense burning (the smoke out of the nose effect), one oil burning one with flame out of the mouth...and you?

Star Wars memorabilia, mostly the vintage toys or anything Darth Vader related. It's all scattered about my spare room right now, trying to find the time to rearrange everything into some semblance of order.

Pigs. It started with a hand-carved wooden pig with wings, wearing a Santa Suit. They've all been gifts. One of my nephews gets me the same birthday card every year. "If you're happy and you know it, clamp your hams." It's a fairly small collection, but it's the only knick-knacky type thing I do, and it's actually completely out of character.

switchblades C:

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

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

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.

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.

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

I collect tea pots and other tea accessories. I don't just collect them, however, I use them as well. Some are displayed in a cabinet, but others are kept away. About twice a year I switch some of the pieces.

After rocks, fossils and stone artifacts I collect almost nothing else other than silver coins.

teapots

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

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.
