Anyone collect anything besides watches
Hey guys. Seeing how alot of ppl here are avid collectors, I was just wondering if theres anything else (besides watches) that anyone collects here. I myself collect comic books and original comic art. It would be awesome to find ppl with the same interests.

Fun post!
I collect; Depeche Mode records. Strictly on Vinyl. Were more into it when I was younger, but still get the same feeling when I find something rare that I don't have. Collection size is approximately 200. Cheers, Joe

I collect antique child's chairs. I love the history and stories they could tell, but remain a mystery

I don't think of myself as a watch collector as I think you'd need at least half a dozen and be continually adding to the collection.
I collect rock music on CD. I have several hundred and like this format as opposed to digital because I like the CD art and booklet info in a tangible form.

I have collected wheat pennies my whole life, have about 2,000 now; am traveling but when I get home will post a pic. I have most of the "rare" ones, a VDB for example, but nothing extremely valuable. Still waiting for that 1943 copper or 1944 steel to show up
(Oh, sorry, for international TRFers, a "Wheat" Penny is an American Penny from 1909 to 1958. It's called wheat because it has a wheat grain on the back ) |

High end pocket knives (Chris Reeve, William Henry, etc).
Apparently now I'm starting to collect luxury wallets |

I accumulate watches, knives, guns, and coins, mostly certified proof and mint state, with not much of a theme. I buy what I like.

Famous cyclists jerseys, high-end tactical knives, and firearms come to mind.

I collect fountain pens as well as watches. I have 4 Rolex watches and about 9 nice fountain pens. I mainly focus on Montblanc and Visconti

As a cyclist fan who's been around the tour a couple of times, I admit I got a bit intrigued by this one. Care to share any names? :)
Cheers, Joe

Collector or hoarder...? I also hoard knives, fine knives like those from Tony Bose. Oh, and I also have way more road bicycles than I can ride, such as Pegoretti, Sachs, Weigle, Kirk, Moots, Hampsten, Colnago...

I collect "You're 27th on the list for a Daytona" notices.
Actually, I have collected some sports memorabilia and Grateful Dead '60s posters. Still have my baseball card collection from early in my career, but not sure why.

Resin 'Cow Parade' cows. I have a couple that are quite rare, including one of only 2,500 that was distributed exclusively to BP employees. Some of them were worth quite a bit about six years ago but interest has waned and the bottom has dropped out of them.
Considering I have only one head, I have way too many pairs of Oakley sunglasses too.
