video games is my big collection.

but i do have around 400 vinyl records, so that probably counts. still have my baseball cards from when i was a kid. they collect dust in the closet cuz they're worthless to try to sell. been slimming down my comic book collection, sold off a big chunk on eBay this summer with more left to go.

What sort of music are you into? I collect mainly records from the 1950s and specifically Christmas ones. I'm after the album art actually. Don't have a record player yet, but it's on my want list lol. I do have some 45's of random things from Elvis to Sting. My tastes are eclectic.

well i'm into all sorts of music. for my records though, i'm just trying to put together the most badass '70s-'80s rock playlist possible. here's my three most recent pickups:

Them - Here Comes the Night

great album. Them is underrated.

Hot Tuna  - (self titled)

I'm a huge fan of Jefferson Airplane and this is right up my alley too. includes "Hesitation Blues", my personal favorite of their songs.

and this one (NSFW) :

Oh man, I really want to collect Terry Pratchett hardback novels. I have a lot of them in paperback and it's just not the same. 😞 

Aye I much rather have hardback or nothing personally, so far I have around 20 or so they aren't easy found around my area but I keep looking anyway as I have gotten lucky in the past like finding Raising Steam for $3 at a local Dollar Store last year.

Nintendo tapes are the only thing I "collect" but I'm not sure if it even counts.  I sold or am selling any I dont play so my stash had dwindled greatly over the last 1.5 years. I do a lot of other stuff outside this though. My biggest money draw beyond Bill's is travel, I try to go somewhere nice twice a year for a few weeks. I snowboard and ski  in the winter. Race my trashed Suzuki swift in figure 8s in summer.

Nintendo / PlayStation - Right now I'm concentrating on Super Nintendo and PlayStation 1.

Coins more specifically US Cents large and small.  Mostly done and just upgrade every now and then.

80s 90s Toys - GI Joes, TMNT, Titan Wrestlers

Tin Cans - Vintage Advertising

Vintage Hot Wheels - Red lines and Black walls mostly

 

My biggest collection is video games but I've been collecting US Coins for a long time.

My first post, yay!

Transformers are my primary collection, my entire spare bedroom consists of about 500 figures. All of the 1984-1988 original, vintage figures sit in glass cases while some newer releases and Masterpiece releases sit on shelves around the walls. If anyone doesn't know what Masterpiece figures are, Hasbro realized how nostalgic the original toys are so they created larger, more detailed, higher quality versions of the 1980s figures with a lot of die cast metal and called them the Masterpiece line. They sell for $100 - $500 each, I probably have half of those.

My secondary collection is NES. I currently have about 600 unique games with almost 400 boxed, I'm going for a complete boxed collection with all variants which means I need 2 copies of Stadium Events.....3 screw and 5 screw. My video game collection takes up 7 bookcases in my basement.

My third collection is Atari 2600, I have about 400 games right now with maybe 150 boxed. That includes some pretty rare titles like Spider Maze, Berenstain Bears and Bumper Bash. Most of these I got for free from my old boss.

I'll post pictures when I get home.
