Nothing anymore. Used to collect memorabilia, but the Internet kinda killed the need to run around to movie & book stores looking for posters, photos and lobby cards. Now that I can look at pics online, I no longer need that stuff. Not saying I wouldn't buy a movie poster if I loved the movie, but I don't "collect" them anymore.

I used to collect a lot of things when I was younger but I stopped when I got older. I do buy a lot of books and some DVDs of course, but I wouldn't say I "collect" them.

I would really like to collect movie posters, but in the past they always got damaged too easily.

Through the early 1990's I used to send off for autographed pics of cast from certain TV series. I still got them and the top of my head I know I have Star Trek: Next Generation, MacGyver, Family Matters, Step by Step, Wonder Years, Perfect Strangers and Seaquest which also includes a letter from them with the SeaQuest logo on it as well.

My mother back in the 1970's sent off for one from The Jeffersons, still have that as well. The entire cast photo, and with many of that cast gone now it's nice to look at once in a while.

I did collect loads of posters but i don't have much room for them. I kinda suppose i collect dvds. I can't stop buying them. I'm trying to build up a collection of signed photos. I've got quite a few now, including my Chris signed dvd cover.

Okay, this is kinda nerdy, but I used to collect donkeys, in all shapes and sizes. It's a long story, but it stems for once owning a real live donkey. They are wonderful animals.

I have tons of soft toy donkeys and more than 200 other donkeys. Some are plastic toys, some are made from wood, from porcelain, from clay, you name it. People would bring me souvenir donkeys from other countries. It's quite a collection. And I decided to stop when I moved out of my parents' place because I just didn't have the room to put them on display anymore. Now they're wrapped up in a box somewhere on my parents' attic, poor things. A few soft toy ones still sit on the back rest of my couch.

Of course I have a bunch of DVDs and books and music CDs, but I wouldn't call myself a collector. Nowadays I just collect dust bunnies and strange thoughts.

This is strange... but Fossil watch tins. I have two watches and my mom and brother both have/had Fossils, I thought the tins were cool so I kept them. One of my friends used to work at the watch place in the mall and got me more. I have seven now.

I also collect stuffed monkeys, turkeys and penguins.

Oh yeah, music CDs. How could I forget about them? I do own a lot and am still buying a lot, but that's also something I wouldn't say I'm a "collector".

Does this make me a Chris Marquette autograph collector? I already own three different ones. LOL No, wait, four. I forgot about my most precious possession: The signed DVD cover of The Tic Code.

My cover is like my prized possession, up above my bed against a Paul Dano autographed photo. Still trying to get Emile Hirsch to go with them. That's one of my goals this year, to get more, but they are all in a cardboard box at the moment, waiting for my room to get redecorated.

domesticelefant · 06 Jan 09 :: 01:56

I wouldn't mind a Paul Dano autograph either.

OK, I take it back, I am trying to get all of Whitley Strieber's books in hardcover, First Editions, if possible. Some of them are VERY hard to find. I have two things that are already highly collectible: a first edition copy of the original trade paperback version of The Communion Letters that's signed by both Whit & Anne, and a first edition hardcover of Ed Conroy's Report On Communion. What I really want is one of only 30 copies of Evenings With Demons that's in existence, but they're unbelievable rare and pricey.

I used to collect beanie babies. I have over 100 and I've never given any of them away.
Now I collect CareBears, books, and CD's.

Simon · 06 Jan 09 :: 09:44

My brother used to collect beanie babies. Loads he had.

magicalturkey · 06 Jan 09 :: 15:21

I had tons of beanie babies when I was younger... I dunno what I did with them all.

I have been trying to get rid of stuff over the last couple of years, so for me it's not what I collect but what I don't get rid of. So, I am keeping the books and dvds. And some of the odd ball things for some of the shows I have worked on (I love my scully and mulder ken and Barbie dolls, and all of the Tick action figures), but I have sold all of the movie posters I used to collect. And after 2 years of selling and donating, I still have toooo much stuff.
