Bose makes superb classic pocket knives. I prefer small modern ones that you can open with one hand. But I appreciate the classics.

I collect comic books also. Started in mid 80s...first purchase was Dr. Strange, collected a couple of shot boxes (mostly xmen, secret wars, wolverine miniseries, punisher miniseries, dark knight mini-series, killing joke, ASM 129, etc)...then moved away from it until a few years ago when I found online auctions, bidding on CGC graded key comics.

2012/2013 got:
Avengers #1 8.5
Avengers #4 9.2
Incredible Hulk #181 9.8

Want to pick up all the silver keys, but prices are soaring over the last decade.

Are you a quantity or quality collector?

Stained Glass Lamps, Poker Chips, and Coins...

I think pictures really tell the story!

ronin_ph · 5 October 2016, 04:45 AM

I have that 'tick' as well. Can't seem to buy one of anything...

Snowboards, clothes (find something I like and get multiple/every color), sports equipment -lacrosse sticks, logo, belts, shoes, etc. etc.

Actually I have 6 of those larger limited lego star wars sets but all built and the packages all thrown away. This was before I discovered TRF and realized the importance of boxes

Well I built them and keep them in my dedicated showcase. I prefer enjoying them over keeping them in boxes but should have keep the boxes

I collect video game systems (some games but mostly just the systems). Have nearly every console system developed.

Wow that sounds amazing. Can you share some photos?

anothernewphone · 5 October 2016, 05:14 AM

I collect tattoos. Some of mine have even gone up in value!

Rockrolex · 5 October 2016, 05:24 AM

Art. Had to buy two additional apartments to display our collection. Now that we've downsized our main abode, I think we're going to have to start rotating.

Now I seem to be collecting Tumi bags. I'd never heard of them before joing the forum and now have a leather expanding laptop bag, a leather suit carrier, a balistic nylon wheeled case/suit bag and I've bought my wife a big leather tote. I've still got my eyes on some more.

andrewr · 5 October 2016, 06:45 AM

Apparently now I'm starting to collect luxury wallets

Right there with you about the high end knives (although we aren't allowed to discuss such things here)

I also collect limited edition art prints, beer tap handles, neon signs, flashlights, and sneakers. If I didn't have all of these other hobbies I could probably have a really awesome Rolex collection.

FeelingTheBlues · 5 October 2016, 07:00 AM

I've had many collections in my life, some of them are still under construction, Pokemon cards, coins, poetry, jewelry, writing instruments...that's about it.

subtona · 5 October 2016, 07:10 AM

Besides watches I have collected comics, bicycles, pens, knives...

1 of my current favorite besides watches is travel destinations, when I return I look forward to opening up the atlas and marking off where I have been.

Sadly, elusive world peace is really restricting my choice of destinations. As a former miss universe contestant I will tell you, I wish we could get this world peace thing in order and just get along.

Ps extra point if you can pick out the small part that may have been a fabrication?

Would love to see some pics of your Lego collection. I love Lego, have a few sets, but don't collect as I just don't have the space to display them.

2ltdjorn · 5 October 2016, 08:37 AM

I collect Medical Textbooks, and US Coin (particularly error coins)

locutus49 · 5 October 2016, 08:43 AM

Comics?
