An unopened 23 year-old bottle of Coke and Buffy. What do you collect?
Actually it's a commemorative issue bottle re: the UGA 1980 1-A Football National Championship, still unopened with the original soda still in it.
The wife collects a bunch of Buffy memorabilia - my computer room could just as accurately be called the Buffy room.
I also used to collect baseball cards (I once spent $10 on a Ruben Sierra rookie card - but, hell, it was 1991-ish and he was considered one of the top prospects of the decade) and a few comic books (Elfquest, probably something nobody here has heard of).
How about you? What do you collect?

Stamps, coins, and banknotes.
I also collect books, CDs, photos I took, books, small bits of minerals, crystals, and interesting looking rocks, candles, and more books.

Martini glasses. Beautiful elegant things. I've got two so far because they have to be unique before I add them to my collection.
Dead curriences. I've got some pre-euro banknotes from around the EU and a few coins my mum gave me that were originally from an Italian city-state.

I collect money. So far I haven't been able to make any savings due to my low income, but once that changes, I'll be collecting it a lot!

I don't think you can call my CD collection "collecting". I just buy a hell of a lot of music.
I'd love to have a collection of Anglo-Saxon coins, but they're pricey and I have other priorities in life.

I have a stamp collection I havent sorted out in 20 years. Nowadays I just rip them off the envelope and add them to the pile. They will not have any value until I'm retired anyway. I have one BIG rarity though, and that's a postcard that was shipped by Amundsen's "FRAM" through the polar cap in 1876 or something. I have put it inside a frame and hung it on the wall to show off.

I, too, hoard music rather than collect records, but alas I'm at a less progressed stage than Laz owing to my late start and younger age.
