Bobblehead dolls.

I used to collect old bus/metro passes (I have about 100 from 1992 to 2000). Also once was a time I used to colled marbles.

I think there is a genetic indicator that must point towards someone's propensity to become a collector.
Surely, this does not mean you are genetically a COLLECTOR, but you may have a higher inclination (by choice or not) to become one.

Hmm:
My list:

Bottle caps
Toy cars
License Plates
Coins
Stamps
Comic Books
Archie paperbacks (just the old style ones)
Matchbook covers (inherited these - as old as 1937)
NHL Hockey Jerseys (you would flip if you saw my collection - dating back to an original Atlanta Flames Jersey, and even an ealry 1970s Minnesota NStars and Boston Bruins jersey.
Hockey Pucks
Hockey Cards
Vintage/antique pop bottles
Professional and celebrity Autographs (never for sale)
Designer furniture (Herman Miller Retro style)
Vintage Mathematics (Calculus) books
Pretty much anything free that came in twos as a child.

Oh I could go on... I don't have all of these anymore of course, but some I do, but not at home, some are back in the old province of SK.


I have pretty much culled it down to paper money, of course with a focus on brick research, high denom ($20s, $50s, and $100s)

Was that a joke? lol

I do have a small collection of real, vintage bullets from Hong Kong, and I got some golden machine gun mini-rockets too.  :)

My collections, too many and not enough room in the house to store all of them!  I wish I could afford to build myself a big dust free museum type building to store all my collectibles in.  Maybe if I win the lotto I can do that then!!  Keep Dreaming......

What I Collect:

1) Farm Toys of all makes and scales, prefer John Deere
2) Anything John Deere, from decals, to books, signs, emblems, advertising, you name it!
3) Hockey cards in the early 80s and early 90s but not since then, yet....
4) Canadian Coins and some small amounts of others,
5) World Notes
6) Lots of old antiques, almost anything that I find that I think is a deal I buy it???
7) And of course the biggest and most addicting is my Canadian Paper Money Collection, I love Rotators, and Million numbered notes and as well solid Radars. I'm always looking for those lovely Rotator notes!! Hint Hint anyone......


I will usually purchase anything that I think is different and that makes me take a second look and of course if the price is right....

Always looking for more Rotator Notes!!!

May I ask how you've built your collection of human teeth and ammunition and (dare I say), shrunken (human?) heads?  ???

I think these collectables go hand in hand....for a starters ask Only4Teeth...
and there are better forums to discuss non numismatic items....This is suppose to be about banknotes 8)
