Never did sports cards, or Hot Wheels. Preferring Match Box far better. Wasn't a collector of any of the classic super hero comics by D.C. or Marvel. Vampirella and Mad caught my interest for a while.

Here are some other print media that I was into once upon a time. What did you collect, or still do, that might not be the most typical, or was very typical. Cool Dosen't have to be odd, just was in my case.

I used to collect the "Odd Rod" monster cards. Was very into fast cars from an early age. The monsters were a bonus.

And a few years later (mid 70's) started collecting "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers & Fat Freddy's Cat" Here's a trailer I found for a movie that is still officially in pre production. there is recent 2012 talk of addapting into a thearical production. The comic books were much funnier. From memory there were 10-12 total, and I worked pretty hard to find a few that were not so common. Very disappointed when I finished the last one.


As an adult I was given a large box of "Revolutionary Comics - Rock 'N' Roll Comics" when I was living in Austin. These were "rockumentry" comics. Or that's what I would call them, though I don't know if the facts were 100% accurate. For me they were one of the greatest gifts ever b/c I knew little about music, but more b/c of lack of exposure, than interest. These comics related the history behind a lot of the music I liked and listened to, in a way that held my interest, and was enjoyable. unfortunately I had only finished 3 or 4 before I had to leave Austin to return to Ca. to care for a dying older brother. In a rush I was unable to bring everything with me. Sadly these rock comics were left behind. I guess they were responsible for about half of everything I know about Rock N Roll.
 
I collected (and actively played) Sailor Moon cards. :shifty: I had thousands and thousands, even had the collector's action figures but I ended up selling them when I moved out of my parents' house because it wasn't logical for me to keep them when I didn't have the space. :(
 
I really want to start collecting sideshow paraphernalia. Gaffs, banners, photographs of the performers, etc. That shit is usually REALLY expensive unfortunately, so I just collect zombie stuff. Pretty average thing to collect now-a-days.
 
When I was living in Austin, in the house I had leased, in the basement, there was tied and sealed bundles of "Mother Earth News" dating back to mid 1972. I asked the owner and the former tenant and neither knew anything about them so.... 'MINE !' :lol:
I read, resealed [stretch wrap to keep out the bugs], and kept those until hurricane Ike got them wet in 08. Oh well... lugging around half a closet full of old magazines made sense at the time. Now I'm glad to have the storage space. :dance:

I used to play (and hence collect the figurines for) Mage Knight (table top game like hero-clix)

when I was younger, I collected interesting rocks. They weren't scientifically interesting at all, they were just interesting to little young me.

My adoptive father used to travel for work. He would always bring me back a keychain, so I had a keychain collection. Most of those keychains have since been turned into pendants for necklaces.

I collect:

* Corsets
* Anything Sugar Skull related (DDLM stuff is always a hit for me)
* Random silk flowers

And while those three are mild collecting habits, or even passing fondnesses, my real love is:

FABRIC!!

I literally have over 1,000 yards of fabric. And its not enough. Ever. Its never enough. When I go to the fabric store (a trip I make often as I'm a design student) I often have to phone someone to ensure I have a support crew to keep me from buying ALLL THE FABRICS!!!!!

I've tried to start collecting many things: bells, cards, etc. but couldn't stick with it.

Now I am starting a collection of custom My Little Ponies! Laugh at me if you will, but these things are gorgeous and totally play into my childhood adoration of MLP. I have one tribal-looking one and the other is Sakura-blossom-y. They were bought for me by family and the offer for a purely customized one of my own design has been offered. I'm so excited!

I need a pretty display cabinet so my cats don't ruin them. I'm more of a practical person than a 'let's have nice, expensive, breakable shit' person.

I love collecting things that are creepy cute.

I have an impressive collective of toe tags, don't ask how I got them :shifty:

I also love skeletons and day of the dead stuff.

My favorite though is anything Gollum/Smeagol from LOTR. People always ask whats with all the demented baby dolls on your bookshelf? hahaha
