In my travels, I have met people with the darnest collections. Everything from labels, tools, and containers to jewelry, watches, and dolls.

I'm a philatelist. Been collecting since I was 9 or 10 (maybe younger). I specialize in Canada mint. I also collect other things like static model kits, Coca Cola items, and Olympic paraphernalia. Actually, thats just some of the hundreds of things I collect. I think I got it from my mother, who was into spoon collecting. She didn't travel much and most, if not all, were obtained from friends and family. She has anywhere from 150 to 200 spoons. Any time I went on a band trip, I would bring back a spoon or six to add to her collection. Nobody else in my family collects stuff. Only me.

I know quite a few RS members collect watches and stuff, but what are some of the more obscure things some of you collect?

I used to know a coworker who collected plates and tea sets. Royal Doulton, Royal Albert, etc. I went to his apartment once and I couldn't tell what the colour of the walls were, as they were covered in fine china. Another person I know collects Nabob Coffee items. Everything and anything to do with Nabob, of all things.

I recently, like three months ago, got into Zippo lighters. I now have 30+ really cool zippo lighters.


Anyway, post what's in your collection. I can just imagine what Berz collects.

I used to collect stamps.

serious collecting or just casual..........

When I started out, I was fascinated by the designs of the stamps. The engraving process and the theme of the stamp. Early Elizabethan Canada stamps were amongst the most intricate of designs. One of my all time favourites.........

Cookbooks, I love cookbooks!! My mom has bought me a new one for Christmas every year for years.

Cookbooks, I love cookbooks!! My mom has bought me a new one for Christmas every year for years.

I’ve got a collection of cookbooks as well, can’t say I’ve ever made anything from them though :awwyeah:

Used to collect retro games, sold off my collection back in the summer as it was just collecting dust.

Feels like as a kid used to enjoy collecting stuff more, had a decent stamp, hockey card, even POG collection lol..

Now I’m like the antithesis of a hoarder and anything that just takes up space is gone. So I’d say if I collect anything it’s just peices from trips I’ve been on. Ie. the peice of the Berlin Wall I almost needed stitches to get :pokerface:

[CivicBlues]

The Mrs. has a collection of cookbooks as well which sit nicely in our bookcase untouched for the most part. :suspicious:

My collections mostly have to do with travel - Random handicrafts and factory made-in-china souvenirs.
I have a collection of Lonely planet guidebooks - about 50 of 'em
Also a ton of fridge magnets as well - enough to cover an entire freezer door with about a 1in space between each one

Try to get one at least once in each country I visit, depending on the quality of artists available.

Used to collect 1:24 scale Jada die cast vehicles...have about 120 on display and another 20 in boxes since I lack shelf space.

I also like shoes and have been slowing amassing too many pairs. On a Vans kick recently, much to my wife’s chagrin :lawl:

[Traum]

I've always attempted to collect money. However, I seem to be rather bad at doing this, so I am ending up like punkwax here...
:badpokerface:
Debt.

On a slightly more serious note, I used to collect manga. I still have boxes and shelves of them, both at my place and at my parents' place. However, as space as well as money increasingly become an issue, the collecting has pretty much stopped. I still read fan subs and Viz.com, but in the last 10 years or so, I have probably only bought 1 additional set of manga, and only because that one is an absolute classic.

Air Jordan sneakers, the ones he wore back in the day with Chicago and not these goofy "just designed today" colorways

own every stinking model but stopped because i had everything and got it out of my system - plus these new & higher quality price hike costing $300+ a pair got out of hand to me, it gave me more reason to stop buying them esp when you buy one to wear & another to stock.. you're easily spending a fuck load of money on crappy material shoes.


the beauty of this story is i grew up poor and watched kids rock the Pump up Reebok shoes & later Nike basketball shoes that i always wanted but unable to..

I collect quality pipes from around the globe, even have had a few custom pipes carved. I smoke them all; though other collectors think it is sacrilege, I look at it two ways: that is the reason they were made and I really don't care about the value when I'm no longer here to enjoy smoking them.

Totally understand that. Collecting things you use and enjoy on a daily basis is best.

A great feeling knowing you have a complete set of something. I started collecting Grammy Nominee CD's. Took me a while (garage sales, eBay, used record stores, etc.), but all done now. This time of year is when they are released. London Drugs or Walmart. I was thinking, I'd be collecting them till the day I die, but they stopped producing them in 2020. First one, 1995. Half are sealed.

[Great68]

The closet thing to a "collection" of anything I have are vinyl records and beer glasses.

But just what I come across that I like (or in the case of the records can pilfer from family members who don't want them), I don't obsess about or actively pursue adding to those collections.

I've collected Pokemon cards, but the prices are too high now to buy anything nice

I have two mountain's worth of still sealed, static model kits. Mostly WWII 1/35 scale Tamiya German Armor. and 1/350 Scale IJN warships. The last one I built was the IJN destroyer, Amagiri. Apparently, a distant (very distant) relative served on that ship. The model came complete with the famous American Patrol Torpedo Boat, the PT-109. Commanded by none other than JFK. The ship was rammed and "destroyed" by the Amagiri. The incident, they say, helped JFK become the president. Nothing like being a war hero to get you a presidency. Unlike that draft dodger and loser, Trump.

1. sneakers - never got many “cool” shoes back in highschool, so now I’m filling that void. I probably have around 200 pairs currently. Feels good when I get that W or flip 10 pairs to get myself a free pair that I really want.

2. cars - not really collect because I don’t have the money or space. Most cars also don’t hold value. But I did recently get my highschool dream car (E46 M3) and university “want” car (IS350).

3. supreme accessories and stickers - just looks nice and some are rare.

4. hot wheels - satisfy my hunting for cool things desires for only $1-2 a piece!

5. G-shock - started during covid because of the GA2100-1A1 hype but quickly lost interest

I've recently had an urge to try to collect the Pokemon game versions that I don't have (a lot of early gen game carts) but the prices have shot up crazy. No longer feasible for what they are... and not particularly rare yet either
I've got a small collection of license plates that I try to get one from a souvenir shop each city I visit.
And traffic lights.

Purple photo is pretty old but gives an idea of what I collect.

Bottom photo is recent and showcasing it all gets used.

I've moved away from cars (though still hang onto what I have). If my life took a financial hit due the world as it is, the cars would go first. The music will stay...

Music............ nothing else in life moves you like music.

I've been a musician most of my life. Started out playing in a drum and bugle corps at the age of 10. I've played just about every wind instrument in the orchestra. Never got into strings, but dabbled in percussion instruments. I studied music at Douglas College and UBC. Almost became a professional musician. Being a perfectionist stopped me from going on. Now I just enjoy it. Listening to it more than playing it............

Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.

Man, I am so jelly right now of your collection.

I collect shitty old Hondas and Chevy trucks, try to make them quicker than your average new sports car.

Not very original, but my wife and I grab a shot glass every place we go (if we can) since they're usually easy to find and bring back. I've also got license plates from some of the places I've been.

I've got a few things on the go...

- Model cars all scales... 1:18, 1:43, 1:64... even a few 1:12 too
- NA1/NA2 NSX models... I have a massive collection, tried to get everything even scouring Yahoo Japan every day... would buy every colour of every release too... but had to stop at some point when OneModel released so many colours of their 1:18 and 1:12 scale at $600usd a piece... that's just mental... I have a real 1/50 Ebbro Zanardi 1:43 NSX that's my proudest model I guess, you only got it if you bought a Zanardi
- Transformers... I have a big Masterpiece and G1 collection both boxed and loose... and most Optimus Prime stuff
- Iron Giant, I collect almost anything to do with that movie
- Stitch the Disney character... I have a LOT of figures or stuffies haha yah I'll admit it
- Bluetooth Speakers, for some reason I can't get enough of them... everything from a $2 mini speaker that's the size of a loonie up to a Kipsch Three that was like $400+
- Some random Funko and other things like that
- Real cars... I've got 7 of them right now... although mostly that's because I'm waiting on the USA to re-open some day so I can sell a bunch of them down there

They're all over the place, I live in a condo but I'm fortunate to have 3 spaces... couple in my parents driveway... and some private parking in Tsawwassen too lol

I kind of cheated my way onto BAT a couple times? I made Craigslist ads for cars and then a few days later submitted them as "finds" to BAT and then they ended up choosing them and posting them up. All the publicity, none of the auction fees. I plan to approach them or carsandbids with my 95 MR2 Turbo when the border re-opens.

eBay is kind of useless, my experience is people just buy-it-now on your item and then ghost you and you're stuck waiting to re-list. I did sell a 1971 Corolla on there once though, so it does work sometimes as you already know!

I've sold 3 cars to people in USA by advertising on Seattle Craigslist... which costs money now actually... but yah that tends to work.

The border is a big mental obstacle to people. Also throw-in the fact that it seems a lot of people in USA have a criminal background? 2/3 times I sold cars to WA residents they had to send someone else over to pick it up because they couldn't cross hahahaha

Not all collectibles are costly................ or take up lots of space.

I collect, or used to, collect McDonald's Monopoly bags. Free. Every year, the design changes. I used to have pristine unused bags. Just have to ask the cashier for them. I even had the US version. Different time of the year. Small, medium, and large, but not all years. Anyway........

I'm sort of like that, but I have some things I paid way more than I should have. Definitely over catalog value. Simply because I love it. I have some stamps that I just stare at because they are that gorgeous.

One of a kind is what you'd want in your collection, but I know some people prefer the ones where there are a limited amount. Like 50 to 100 known to be in the hands of the collectors. Those fetch pretty good money, because they are obtainable.

If any of you know a postal worker, Canada Post printed out a limited amount of stamps with the theme, "Thank you." Given to postal workers for their hard work during this pandemic. It was a package that included two booklets of stamps (12 each), a collector's lapel pin and a letter from a top official. One booklet of 12 stamps has been regularly selling at local auctions for 200 to 250 bucks. The stamps were not sold to the public. Only to Canada Post workers. Not even postal workers at Shoppers Drug Mart, convenience stores, etc. got any. You'd figure there should be a lot of them out there. Nope. Some postal workers that should have received them didn't. Someone is hoarding them. Perhaps a supervisor? Anyway, some postal workers who did get them, just used them for postage or threw them out. Yikes!

I purchased two complete unopened sets (2 booklets, pin, and letter in box) for $200.00 each. Nobody will know how much they'll be worth in the end, until the amount of printed copies are officially released. In this case, I didn't purchase these to make money. It's somewhat rare (for now). As for the design, it's a flying postal truck with a rainbow trailing behind it. Something an elementary kid would draw. lol.

Another stamp issue that has been released recently is the Chinese New Year Cycle stamps. Canada Post issued a new stamp every year depicting the animal of that year. They've been doing this for 24 years. two cycles. They didn't have one this year, because the programme ended last year. But........... they introduced a set of stamps from all of the last 12 years in one set. The uncut press sheets and the souvenir sheets sold out in less than a week. Booklets are a dime a dozen, because they are "P" stamps. The others are in the denomination of US and International rates. The original designs did not have the current rates on them, so these are special stamps. If your postal outlet happens to have the sheet or uncut press sheet (in a tube, duh), get it.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/2021-CANADA-2nd-LUNAR-YEAR-CYCLE-Uncut-Sheet-NO-FLOW-AM/164710655340?hash=item265985256c:g:e5QAAOSw7ctgLoV p

There's now a report of two varieties due to an error in printing. That's probably why my standing order with Canada Post hasn't been sent out. Release date was January 15th. Good thing I was on the ball and found two at the postal outlet at Lougheed Mall.

Did any of you take advantage of the Canada Mint offering of uncut dollar and two dollar bills? They were offered to the general public at slightly over face value. Uncut, serialized, real tender. They haven't skyrocketed in value, but I missed out on them. Now, if I want them, I have to pay catalog value or try to get them at an auction.

You can see the picture? For some reason it's not showing up for me.

Yeah some of the records were in a moist basement and had a bit of mold, so I had to clean as I played them.
I bought the amp & turntable off UsedVic for $250 and hooked them up to a set of PSB Bookshelf speakers (also UsedVic). It actually sounds really good, rated at only 20W per channel (at 0.02%THD)

The turntable's needle broke shortly after I bought it so I replaced the cartridge with an AT95E. I did the whole calibration thing at that point, but haven't touched it since.

I wish I had the original Sony VC-20 cartridge that came with the table, they're rare and worth a mint (like $300+ used)

Cavan Bigio, Guererro Jr., Bo Bichette, Gurriel, Kirk, Hyun-Jin, Teoscar Hernandez, Rowdy Tellez, Waguspack, etc. What a great team.............

Anyway, ordered one from the official MLB Shop. Once it arrives, it's going to be right next to the BC Lions lighter.
