Coffee cups. Not just at my house either. There are specific cups that are "mine" at my friends' houses and such.
Notebooks.
Books.

I thought this was the "Things I suck at" thread for a moment. Got confused.
Thanks Laddy.

I used to collect Magic cards, and still have my collection somewhere. I recently discovered that some of my most impressive cards have at least doubled in value since the last time I bothered checking card prices. I will probably hold onto them for quite some time longer, and then sell them.
I really wish I had bothered keeping my cards in better condition now. I have a Time Walk and an Ancestral Recall (amongst other cards) that were at one point in near mint condition but are probably in only good condition now. That's what I get for not using protector sleeves earlier :<
I also collected coins and paper money for a time. I haven't the faintest clue what that collection is worth now.
I currently collect vinyl records. I mostly collect them so I can make my own rips, which means most of them have been played three or four times maximum. I am quite obsessive about not playing them unless doing so will yield me a better rip than my previous one. They would be worth even more if they hadn't been played at all, but I'm mostly not collecting these for the price.

Books~
Video Games~
Vinyl Records~ I collect them so I can listen and enjoy though. My collection has probably doubled since I was last active here and I starting collecting them in 2000.

I have a bunch of old and foreign coins. They're probably almost worthless, but I still enjoy collecting them. :3

Alice in Wonderland books! Different copies, illustrations, print dates, etc. I have some really incredible finds that I've stumbled upon accidentally.
I also collect coffee cups! I came home with two from Sweden :love: Although I had to get rid of some a little while ago and that made me sad.

I used to collect baseball cards, but I have since stopped. Nowadays, I just collect dust.
MLP toys.
Also video game related toys that go in my video game corner along with my game collection and posters. :omghey:

I used to be obsessive about getting strategy guides for every game I owned because I thought they looked cool. That didn't last long though.
I got into collecting/playing the Redemption card game a while back, but that obsession only lasted about a year.
I also still have my collections of Pokemon and Yugioh cards in a bunch of boxes lying around. I have a book that holds all of my holographic Pokemon cards in my room. Most of my collection is energy cards as well.

Um. I guess video games(and dust) is about it. The last thing I collected just to collect something was Pogs when I was a young'un. XD

Magic Cards. WoW cards. Video Game merchandise (again largely WoW related). Merchandise related to anything I've been obsessing over recently (most recently it's been the London 2012 Olympics - I swear I've entered crazy cat lady territory with the amount of Olympic memorabillia I have now).
Also these LEGO.com Minifigures : Home (http://minifigures.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx)

Right now you're on post #666. Clearly a sign you should start also collecting copies of the Necronomicon.
I collect PS1 era RPGs, Assassin's Creed swag, and Star Wars, well, everything. When women walk into my house the panties practically fly off.

I don't really collect anything. I would say the closest thing I have to a collection are my books and PS1-era jRPGs that I tote around like a brand.

If it's useless, I have it. :p
More specifically, I have a large collection of old gaming magazines. Some are Nintendo Powers I inherited from my cousin. I became a fan of T&T when I found an article on FF7 which led me to pick up a copy of the game (I didn't even remember what FF was until I actually had the game though). GI, OPSM, PSM, Edge Magazine.
I also have a small collection of items that could be used as blunt weapons: pool cues, mop handles, baseball bats, planks (those which can be wielded single-handed)... originally, I collected these items because I like to fiddle with them and twirl them around like I've seen in those karate movies. You might suppose I could just as easily have used a baton. However, I just don't consider the baton to actually exist in this reality. I can't use it and I can't imagine why anyone would want to touch it. I mean, throwing a stick around sounds useful if you want to hit someone or have a dog to play fetch with.
I still have my original Nintendo games despite not having a working system.
My mom collects cat figures. I know a girl who collects old-fashioned keys and items designed to look like them (including pictures of them)

I'm not that interesting so I don't collect anything except for funny images from the internet.
I've been considering recently, though, collecting refrigerator magnets. What do y'all think?

So that you can grow up to be a crazy refrigerator magnet lady instead of crazy cat lady?
It doesn't have the same ring, but I like it. Don't put them on your refrigerator, though. Put them everywhere in your house except your frig.

Maybe, MAYBE I can collect cat-themed magnets and have the best of both worlds?
