I collect stamps
I have a four leaf clover collection of around 125 that i found in about a 2 month period, and I still look every time I find a clover patch

those are the main things i collect, but, i don't collect "anything", i collect EVERYTHING!!

Sports cards (racing, and baseball). I've also collected Racing Champions 1/64 and 1/24th scale die cast cars. Over the years I was an occasional collector of sharks teeth. I've gotten more into the shark tooth collecting lately, and especially since I'll be getting my new detector tomorrow; I'll now turn into a collector of civil war relics. South Carolina is rich in civil war relics. I'm just 2 or 3 miles from where the Battle of Honey Hill took place, and a mile from the Episcopal Church that was established in 1835. The present structure was built in 1859 and escaped destruction during the Civil War although most of town was burned, including the parsonage and church organ and some of its furniture. :)

Vintage bubble gum/peanut machines.
Coins (for my little guy)
Relics found while hunting/ exploring abandoned buildings.
Vintage fishing lures/ hunting items
Just about anything old/unusual.

For many years i collected "general store" stuff, turned one room of our
house at the time, into a general store complete with period displays and
stock, most was sold/given away when we bought the new house.

I did keep a few of the more interesting pieces like the ledger and two scales,
i collect way to much, hate to see what happens should i finally get a MD. :wink:

(pic is the last remnants of the general store collection, sold last year)

Had ourselves up to 22 dogs for a few days, but found homes for 2 of them this weekend, so back to 20 this morning. But, then, there was a stray wandering my office today, so we're back to 21. :)

i collect pez dispensers and hard rock cafe pins. :) :icon_queen:

I always look at the clearance items at wal*mart for stuff I can sell on ebay. There is a case of batman pez dispensers there right now. It's like 25 packages of 4 or 5 dispensers, all of the main characters. They are marked at 7 dollars at present, but I am waiting on the price to go down. If I can get them for 50 cents or a dollar a piece, I'll mail you a pack.
