I've collected so many damn things throughout the years I'm starting to lose track. I think my first love of being a "collector" was basketball and baseball cards. I had thousands upon thousands of them ranging from the late 80's through the mid 90's. I gave them all to a kid I knew in exchange for a long box of comics and I never regretted it because I had entirely way to many cards. I also had tons and tons of trading cards based on comics, Boxing, wrestling, and random trading card games and movies.

Comics, of course, was the big hobby for years and years, but that eventually moved onto TPB's and graphic novels once I sold off all my comics. I've collected Star Wars figures, wrestling figures, Pirates of the Caribbean figures, and POP Vinyls at different times of my life. I had a huge collection of VHS and DVD's at one point and now I have a massive blu-ray and 4K movie collection. I once collected hard cover novels, retro video games, Amiibo's, and Manga volumes. I'm sure there are other things I've collected throughout the years though I can't think of them at this point in time.

Not sure what's the limit between gathering things that are fun to have and really collecting.

Foreign coins
Smurfs
Miniature bottles (empty)
Movie posters
Disneyania (and other cartoon-related item)
Labels from alcohol bottles

I had all the Dino Riders that I bought new. Got rid of them all and I regret it. Those were some well-done toys. Better than Transformers or GI Joes - I wonder why they are not more widely remembered?

Mondo is doing a line of 1/6th scale Masters Of The Universe figures (yes, that’s 12” tall, highly detailed figures!), and I’ll be damned if I’m not hooked on getting them. They started coming out in late 2018 & I currently have 4 out of the first 5 figures they’ve put out - Skeletor, Faker, Scare-Glow & Merman... all the villains :lol:

Legacy!

A full set of Majestic with ashcans and variants is what, a dozen books? 20? Plus three card sets?

A full reading set is like 5 books.

Of course Majestic is on my list. Because I am sick that way. :thumb:

Yes I'll have to see how many Ash cans I have I think there's four different ones. And as far as the comics if I remember right there's a zero one and two. And then another title with I think two books and a third book which is just a one shot.

I always wanted early Bo Jackson cards when I was about 13.
I figured, why not get a few?
