I'm like you too.
I like anything around me or anything of mine organized. I like to collect information as well but I also like collecting materials as well though. Like if I have a certain collection, I like to complete my collections, it's fun for me.
What do you like to collect? I like to collect antique keys, particularly jailer's keys. IP: Logged |

My Dad liked collecting antiques. (he was a Libra) Knowledge, information, books, video games, collectible cards, lists as in I list something I'm interested in of all the things of that, then that means I collected them all, (weird I know, lol) etc.
In fact, I actually have more fun collecting than actually using or playing them because it's fun adding them to a shelf of collection and looking at it or something like that. A lot more but I cannot think of them from the top of my head. IP: Logged |

Cards are a good thing to collect.

Actually I found cards in my yard after a storm. Not sure how valuable they are and they have a bit of storm damage to them. I don't collect them myself. It's best not to use stuff you collect, it diminishes the value if you do that. The most valuable over time is stuff that never gets opened or used. You should collect comic books, too.

I actually did collect comic books at one point but I was never even interested in super heroes so I ended up giving most of them to my friend so he can appreciate them and read them unlike me.
I had fun collecting them, but not reading them. I only enjoy reading books in which I can learn something out of. Non-Fiction, Science (not Science fiction, but Science Non-Fiction) or practical things. IP: Logged |

Just buy some every now and them, put them in plastic baggies, in a storage container in a closet and don't touch them until your fifty. Then you can sell them and retire, lol!
It's actually better if you buy the ones you have zero interest in, then they are easier to put up and ignore for years. You won't have the compulsion to open and read them. Hey this is a plan I might consider myself. I have a tarot card collection. Tarot cards are really what I want to start collecting. Yeah, after a storm I found cards and some rare vinyl recordings so covered in mud and insulation, they were pretty much a lost cause. I tried to find their owners by placing ads yet no one claimed. I also found some stamps worth a thousand dollars in a little baggie, according to this little piece of paper inside that said what they were. Oh yeah, you could collect stamps as well.
After writing all this, I realize whatever I collect would be safest underground or it could end up all over someone's yard one day :s

Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea.
I might consider collecting things I'm not interested in so I don't have the urge to look and tamper with them.
But the main reason for my collecting was for entertainment and enjoyment in the first place though, so it would be defeating the purpose of that. I know it would be really smart to collect valuable things, but I'd rather enjoy what I collect.
I do have all the state quarters. Also other old, antique coins that my Dad had always gave me to keep in a safe place. IP: Logged |

Something like five I think. They are put up. I don't get them out and look at them.
It's a paltry collection. I started it years ago then stopped. Inconsistency is not a good thing, soomtimes :/IP: Logged |
