Haven't seen this topic before, so I'll post it now.
Sorry if this has been discussed before.
Was going to focus on one particular kind of collection, but thought it would be fun to ask what do you guys like to collect or have collected before? Comics, trading cards, memorabilia, coins, stamps, weapons, etc.?
I don't exactly collect one specific thing. I like to collect a few of each kind.
I have some comics, but from when I was a kid, nothing really special. I have some cool t-shirts and tin posters, may invest in some more down the road.
When I was around 12 though I was huge into collecting coins. This was right around when they introduced the "state quarters". I really liked the idea of owning coins from each era in American history. Some people like collecting in bulk, like many of one kind. I preferred one of each and every kind.
I did buy a cheap replica of Frodo/Bilbo's sword, sting. Not the kind that glows, just plain metal.
It just sits there though, not sure if it was the best long term investment.
I've been wanting to buy a samurai sword. But only if I'm going to learn to use it. That way, it has some practicality to it, defending my home... from ninjas.
