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.

twiztor | 919 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) 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) : Spoiler My Pussy Belongs to Daddy saw this one on some online countdown for best/worst covers ever and just HAD to have it. fantastic cheesecake.

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.

ALTQQ | 87 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 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.

Natebit | 9 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Besides video games, I collect video game related figures, vintage mini figures (M.U.S.C.L.E, Monster in my Pocket, Battle Beasts, etc). Lately my collecting has been focused mostly on Switch games and Nintendo related figures and statues as I have most of the retro stuff I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat, I really only collect from his active playing days. Gotta draw the line somewhere but I know all of the 1/1 modern stuff has plenty of value.

Code Monkey | 2,145 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 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.

behemos | 757 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Books. As I've been sitting on 600+ NES games for like 3 years now, and deals are harder to find, my game buying has slowed. So I've really built up my book collection in that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 5,226 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Not much. Old electronic hardware, or mechanical items that have long been replaced by digital equipment. I have very little of this stuff, though, but if I had a huge collecting room, I would definitely have a section dedicated adding machines and the like. Oh, and CRTs.Insert other media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
