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

This may sound childish but I collect Star Wars Lego sets.

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

Coins, guns, knives and watches...I have a bit of a problem

Mick P · 4 October 2016, 08:47 PM

Fountain pens and chain link cufflinks.

Clive Cussler signed first edition books, Rolex swag, CRK knives, old PA license plates.

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

)

locutus49 · 4 October 2016, 10:35 PM

High end pocket knives (Chris Reeve, William Henry, etc).

Apparently now I'm starting to collect luxury wallets

GradyPhilpott · 4 October 2016, 10:36 PM

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

Kostas · 4 October 2016, 11:20 PM

Some of those larger limited lego star wars sets go up in value like crazy if left unopened and in the box. They can be a very solid investment.

I think I might have that 1944 steel in my boy scout coin collection. Next time I get back to mom & dads I'll look for it.

Rogdogg · 4 October 2016, 11:45 PM

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

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...

Chiboy · 5 October 2016, 12:16 AM

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.

If only this thread started last week, when I was there.

Ruud Van Driver · 5 October 2016, 01:33 AM

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.

SearChart · 5 October 2016, 01:45 AM

Knives and books.

Jim M · 5 October 2016, 01:59 AM

Fine writing ball point pens, pencils, rollerball and fountain pens. Vintage and Special Edition Parker, Cross, Schaeffer, Montblanc, Waterman, Lamy, Tiffany, Monteverde, Yugi Nagahara Sailor ...
