Collectables, Limited Edition, Rare and Vintage, what do you hoard?

got a ten deutschmark note that i'll be cashing in to pay for my son's hand-foot swap surgery

I collect alternative Movie posters too.
Mondo style (mainly non-Mondo but it's the brand people seem to know)
I have a pair of Jurassic Park by Florey on the wall, and a reprint of the original Jurassic Park art, signed by Chip Kidd (the original artist) framed and hung. I intend to get a frame for the ticket tat in the OP and make a JP wall (if MrsDeth allows)

Magic the Gathering cards.
And cassette tapes.

Tintin stuff:

I developed a habit of buying old Sega Master System games off eBay in the early 2000s, you could find tons of them for 99p and during the console’s original lifespan I was always too poor to afford more than a couple of games a year. I amassed over 400 in the end but have largely sold them all to pay for life. Weirdly they appreciated in value crazily. Some of the rarer titles went for £150+

Don’t really collect anything myself but I do have Chris Froome’s Team Sky skinsuit, unopened in the packet that he never used

Bottle tops. Started accidentally with some WKD from holiday in Spain as a youngster.

My friend had this is their old flat, their flatmate had been given(I think) it when they finished working at a Waterstones or something. they had so many weird little ~collectibles~ in their flat, lots of transformers toys and the sorts. this was cool though.

Start as you mean to go on

No way I used to collect bottle tops when I was a kid. Always wanted a coke one with Coca Cola written across it and a coke bottle behind. Never found one

ha, a candidate to offload some perhaps ? Mini DV/ disc Canon ones, working, but no leads or battery..

Fantastic, love that . Room looks great too 👍

Ha I had one almost exactly the same. Found in a junk store for £4. Think they’re illegal in the uk now .

Signed shirts, mostly GB cycling, of which mostly track, football ones, framed 2-piece one signed by Pele & other by Maradona that my kids are waiting for me to pop to swap it for a new Playstation or whathaveyou is going to be 'in' when I do pop, some athletic ones, even bloody netball ones.

Have given quite a few away for charity causes to reduce the collection and stoke the consciousness ..... if there is a collective will among LFGSS crowd would do same here. Can't auction it as against The Rules, so ideas welcome - forum to benefit of course - fixed price for sale or other method if poss ...something like one below, names & sizes TBD

Some art; a 1st edition We go to the gallery by Miriam Elia, a Campbells Soup can (alledgedly) signed by Andy Warhol, and a signed Gilbert&George exhabition poster.

And stones with a naturally occurring hole in them.

Excellent, that would make a great exhibition, and T-shirts as @nankatsu says.

I saw this in Brixton graffiti pit last year

...which was of course a reproduction of this flyer from Aug 1992.

I was not there but was making boxes elsewhere at the time. Wow 1992, I feel old.

Aside from bike parts and scars, what do you collect?

Limited edition olympic 50 pence pieces.

I used to be much more proactive in collecting records - probably only have a few thousand now, since selling/charity shopping quite a few. I've got a small collection of Czech matchbox labels - some of them are really lovely - i'll put up some photos of the sheets i framed up.

These are the only ones we're missing

Boccia
Handball
Judo
Rowing
Sailing
Triathalon
Weightlifting

Got any doubles? :)

I forgot about the 50p stashing, I have a few in a draw somewhere.
I used to keep any that were not your standard. (Olympic or otherwise)

I collect Final Fantasy items - games, steelbooks, promos, OST, strategy guides, lithographs etc.

I'm after some of the alphabet letter 10p coins in anyone fancies giving some up

In the past I've collected rocks, stamps, stickers, coins, bottle caps, bubble gum cards, phone cards and I hoard stuff a bit - like I have all my school work from Kindergarten to Uni in boxes at my parent's house along with every birthday card I've received. Oddly enough I hate clutter though so I can swing the other way and get ruthless at times when it comes to chucking stuff.
