What non-RPG stuff do you collect?

I'm not much of a collector, but I'm fond of video game music CDs, especially arranged ones, so I guess you could say I collect them. And anything depicting a phoenix, that's one thing I actually do collect, if I have money. I'm starting a collection of dragon figurines, but nothing too overly special just yet, except a glass dragon with an electric guitar that my gf bought me our first Christmas together. I actually have to replace a couple of them, since a fallen lamp broke a couple, including a cool shot glass I got in New Orleans. That'll be a fun drive... :)

The little ring things that keep the cap on soda bottles. My friend used to make rain sticks with them, so she made everyone take them off the bottles and give them to her. Now i can't even drink soda without taking the plastic ring off and putting it in my pocket. Its kinda freaky, I have a big jar of them at my house.
 

Did comics for a while, then magic card (hope I loved my flyers and dual lands deck), city books for gaming (if I see it I will buy it). Boxes, little boxes, don't know why but I like them. Books, sure reading is a hobby but I have one of the best collections of fantasy books there is! :)
 

I've started collecting those free internet provider discs that fall out of magazines. For some reason I've got it into my head that they are going to be worht something in 50 years time (working on the principle that the _really- collectable stuff is culturally significant things that people value as worthless at the time)

Pop-up books. I got two for Christmas to add to my collection.

Alice in Wonderland and The New York Pop-Up Book.

Both are really cool, but the Alice book is amazing. It's by Robert Sabuda, perhaps the greatest living toy book creator.

Check out a few pages here.

Wow Buttercup - that site make me want to collect pop-up books! Very vivid colours and excellent artistry.

For me I collect miniatures (I started collecting them long before I ever played D&D), DVDs of all kinds (the SO and I got about 8 for Christmas!), board/card/tile games of all kinds; everything for Magic cards to Axis & Allies to Munchkin I love games of all kinds. Used to collect comics but high prices and a lack of writing quality drove me away years ago.
 

DVDs, computer games (especially finding old ones for my C64 that I couldn't afford when it was new :) ), coffee mugs, and lately a closet full of LOTR toys to go next to my closet full of Robotech toys :)
 

Comics, SF Novels, uncommon action figures (which hads become damnsight easier in the last few years...if more expensive)

And the loads of cultural detritus that can only be called "Crap".

I have...

  • a mounted head and wings of the Northern "Flying Rabbit" (lepus borealis)
  • a matched set of Charlie brown/Snoopy baseball-themed black velvet paintings (one given to me when I was 3, the other when I was 32)
  • a gumball machine filled with "eyeball" hallowe'en gum
  • a teal Melmac wall clock from an era when Melmac was the "material of the future"
  • a canvas, painted black, and mostly covered with Googly eyes,
  • a genuine New Orleans Voodoo Doll sold to me an old hougan on Canal Street
  • a tape measure once owned by Nick Cave
  • A set of coathangers designed to look like a woman's spread legs (with the "bits" enclosed in in animal print underwear)

The list goes on and on.

And no you sad, unfortunate creatures; none of my "treasures" are for sale ;)
