Do you collect any items like toys or stamps or food wrappings etc?
How much do you value your whole collection to be?
Have you met anyone that collects weird items?

I do, i collect stamps and stickers from all around the world, idk about the value though, i collect stamps but
i don't learn how to value all the old stamps, maybe one day when i am poor, i'll bring it out to sell haha. I've met
this person who collects rice grains like from everywhere. He'd put it in a ziploc bag and name it, and now,
(he's about 24), he has collected about 200 different types of rice grains. Wherever he goes, he bags it, and
he labels it and done it is in his collection. He could be a rice expert hahah.

How about you?

only thing i collect is really odd but memorable things

for example in year 6 one of my teachers gave me a present for being so helpful in the ks1 playground and i kept the wrapping paper for it
and kept my timetables from other the year as well as my exam timetables so in the future i can look back!

I collected beer cans for a bit, but it took far too much space so I got rid and I only really did it just cos. That's about it really.

My gran before she died a few years ago left me a shit load of Royal Mail stamps she had collected over like the past 50 years like these ones;

Wouldn't say I collect them but if I see some which I think would be worth adding (star wars and doctor who ones) then I'd add them to the collection

i used to collect beanie babies as a kid, i still have them all (about 100 in total) and now i collect pop vinyl figures. no clue if the beanies are worth anything, but tbh i've ever only collected anything because i like them, not because one day they might be worth something :P

I like to keep hold of tickets for like planes, trains, special attractions like the theme parks in Orlando and stuff like that. I have a few of those stuck on the wall.

I'm not really collecting them but I have a couple of the patches you can like sew onto jackets or something? I don't know if they have a proper name. But I have a NASA one, RAF one, Red Arrows, USA Flag and the UK flag.

plants. in garden random things grow so like to keep a variety if possible.

coins. for investment got £1,000+ in pure silver coins/small bars. differing types.

flags. for different days got a fair few flags. uk, scotland, eng, wales, ni, aus, nz, commonwealth, old south africa etc

i used to collect bottle caps when i was younger we had like a bin bag full of them
unless maybe i thought i was collecting them but really i was cleaning up the pubs :hmm:

tbh i like how people collect mdma pills. So many shapes colours an logos. If you google it a large collection looks pretty pretty
then there's the point of it becoming over the personal amount of illegal then there's also eating your collection that you worked so hard on so probably not the best thing to collect :¬:
