    I collect a lot of different things but after my stroke and three brain surgeries less is more.

    I had a large comic collection, I reduced it. Gave away more than half of them in one box chunks to kids.

    About ten long boxes given away to ten kids.

    I kept some though, of course.

    I collect books like arkham house and signed firsts. Sci fi and horror.

    Less is more again. But I still have about two hundred books.

    Pinball I got one.

    Magic cards a small box but it includes the power nine.

    Cheers!

    I think mostly I collect friends. All of you, and others.

    Quoted from goingincirclez:

    I was and still am a life-long model railroader (avatar, heh). Which sometimes feels hard to distinguish from "hoarding" some days, but I do have and impose limits (roadnames / eras / prototypes)... still, it's hard to stop. I have too many locos and freight cars to count. But one "exception" from the modeling aspect, is collecting certain trains for the sake of it. I've developed a fondness for older metal and wood kits, as well as early (50's and older) plastic. There was an entirely different philosophical approach to modeling within the limits of materials back then, and yet some of the craftsmanship was astounding and holds up reasonably well
    I also collect trains from Tyco. Which were mostly garbage from the 70's till they quit in 1993... but there is a real jeckyl-hyde aspect to them: for all the garbage they made, some stuff was actually quite nice to almost awesome. And while they made enough Burlington Northern boxcars to stretch to the moon and back, I have found others that are incredibly rare - like 1 of as few as 100, 50, or even 10...? I've also acquired R&D items from the factory, hand-painted test samples, catalog photo one-offs,

    You need to read a book I read, I will post it here dang it I still can't post things right. It's all me.

    Regarding the love of trains...

    Here is the book you should read it's by an author named Lucius Shepard. Freaking amazing. It is half fiction. Half non fiction. Lucius rode the railroads in America.

    And then he wrote both non fiction and fiction based on his experiences.

    He writes of a moment spent in a hidden area. Graphitti and bridges. And desperate people.

    It is brilliant. I like trains, too.

    Quoted from herbertbsharp:

    Screen used props and wardrobe from film & television! It's just as addicting as pinball.
    Here's some I have from Baby Driver, including a full body dead Kevin Spacey dummy they ran over at the end of the movie:

    That Kevin spacey prop is strange. Oddly sensational.

    I would sell that Kevin Spacey now unless you are attached to it.

    Might be worth, a mint It seems like the right time to sell right now, for a potential top dollar. On that item. Creepy.

    It would be interesting if John Oliver put it on his show. He loves mannequins.

    This picture for instance, taken by a guy who passed away, of me and jersey Jack.

    The guy who took it, he passed away. Giving the photo additional importance to me.
