I have collected a mammoth amount of different things during my life, since I was a child I have collected the following....
Earliest one was sweet wrappers, used to glue them into the pages of copies and spent a lot of my early school life searching bins for elusive wrappers
I collected anything to do with dinosaurs as a child and then got all burnt out on it when Jurassic Park came out and every prick in my class was into it!
Matchbox cars, tonnes of the bastards and still have them in my parents attic
Toy guns, fucking loved them!
"Zero Hour"! I still have yet to find another person who had these amazing toys from bluebird, they were little army lads, a monorail train and you could launch rockets and all, my favourites being the 'Bad Brigade' who had inconspicuous vehicles that turned into weapons, like a school bus, a civilian aeroplane, an oil tanker truck. Its in my parents attic somewhere also.
Beanos, every week from about 85/86-92/93, used to be able to tell you the cover story for any beano if you gave me the date of the issue for pretty much 86-91. Still have about 1,000 of the fuckers in my parents attic.
I used to collect the 'Ben & Katie' cartoons from the daily star when I was 7 and get some pre-pubescent weird sexual confusion/arousal over the drawings, until my sister and her friends found the copybook I stuck them in and destroyed me still one of my abiding childhood embarrassments
I also collected scrap books and wrote reports on old castles and forts I went to. Scrapbooks were massive in my mind.
I then moved onto collecting computer game cheats for the sega megadrive, recording them onto tape and trying to sell them to my friends (surprisingly I had some!)
I collected stamps and still have them knocking about, my lovely lady even bought me some classic third reich stamps in prague when we were there in January which has kinda renewed my interest.
Money with the faces of dictators on it, I've jumped in time here a bit, this was something I decided to collect a few years back, I so far have some iraqi saddam notes, mugabe notes, mussolini coin, reichmarcs a plenty and so on.
I now collect vinyl, books and other assorted crap. Basically I think I have what Freud would refer to as a 'holding-on personality'!
