    I love playing cards and magic the gathering cards. I don't have many at the moment, but it's a money thing. Lol.

    I don't collect anything in real life, just in games. I usually download mods for games like Fallout and Skyrim that add items I can find when I'm doing a playthrough.

    Not sure if it counts, but I collect mid century modern relics. Furniture, vases, clocks. Anything, really.

    Also vinyl.

    I do collect bird sightings - not quite a material object, but certainly a collection and one that I deeply cherish. And I do have a little rocks and minerals collection! It's stored away for now which is sad, but I will revisit it again.

    Bones and books. I also have a bit of art that I’ve been amassing for when I have the space to properly show it off. Bit of a geek so some of it’s fan art of my favorite characters mixed with prints of classics and original works.

      All types of animal skulls and bones. Some I’ve bought(non-native or from other collectors, always look for ethical sellers), some I’ve found in nature, and some I’ve collected from processing found remains.

      I mostly just clean up those that need it and display them(though I’ve been toying with branching out into painting some though every time I get a new one in a species I already have I find something unique or endearing to me about it and don’t want to change it, lol.) Sometimes I use them for art reference or in photography. I have a few I just like pondering over, ex. they have injuries that showed up in their bones and I’ll study them and speculate about what caused it. Those are my favorites, though I always hope they didn’t suffer, as they’re a bit unique. Granted, all skulls/bones are one-of-a-kind if you think about it.

      I collect original art, art prints, and gold bullion. I like supporting artists and having my own little art gallery at home. The gold collecting started with wanting some insurance, but with my current stack I usually pick bars and rounds that have nice art on them.

      I used to collect rare books and comic books, but I’ve moved a lot since collecting those and and have sold most of what I had.

        It would be really cool if you found some! Rare but not impossible.

        I used to collect lots of century old medical texts, fairy tale collections and sometimes out-of-print fantasy and sci fi books. It started when I learned that Disney’s Fox & The Hound was based off a book that wasn’t that well-known and hard to find back then. I found it, bought it, read it and found that even Disney’s less popular films have weird origin stories.

          I collect ball-jointed dolls. They all represent characters from my novels. I also collect antique salesman samples and video games. 😬

            Sci-fi, primarily. I have a few fantasy concepts I'm working on, too. You should go for it! I'm about a quarter into my fourth, so lmk if you need any tips, tricks or resources to help you get started! 🤓👍🏼

            I collect antique skeleton keys! I love looking for little knick-knacks in small town antique stores. I also have a slight obsession with collecting neat minerals/rocks from creeks.

            Sealed Pokemon cards. I like bargain hunting too. Normally spend whole days going to secondhand stores, clearance stores/closing down sales, car boot sales, council pickups, etc. Mostly I look for tech, collectable toys and books but I'll buy whatever if I think it's a good deal. I started doing it as a kid to make much-needed money by reselling but since I don't need to these days I just keep stuff or sometimes re-donate it.

            I collect sex toys (specifically dildos).

              Lol it started when I was 18. It's a pretty long, explicit story but over all, I found myself fancing them. They're by far the most expensive things I buy.

              I put them on a shelf in a closet wrapped in cloth each.

                Lol it'll still be a really long story but over all it boils down to a kink.

                I collect Care Bears. I really love decorating my room with them!
