A lot of people have sticker/card collections when they're younger, the most popular in my school being the F.A. Premier League sticker album, and later the Pokemon trading card game. When they grow up, a lot of people keep up the habit of collecting, and move on to stamps or models. My father, for example, collects roman coins and Moorcroft pottery.

My experience is pretty much limited to the aforementioned stickers and cards, but despite having quite a few collections scattered around the house (including WWF stickers and band badges) I've only ever been able to complete one album, the Premier League 98 collection. I must have bought at least fifty packets and spent hours trading with friends, but at last I managed to get the last one (Paul Telfer of Coventry City). I'm so proud of it I'm considering putting it on my C.V. :D

So, did you/do you have any collections that you obsess over, and did you ever manage to complete one? :)

I'm somewhat into the whole US quarter coin thing really. They're pretty damn easy to collect, and it's awesome to see the new pictures, so naturally to me, I collect them.

When I was way younger, I loved Pokémon cards. I had a lot of them, but I stopped collecting when I lost my Dark Charizard card. :mad: THE #9 RAREST CARD! I also liked Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, until I realized that I had no idea how to actually play the game.

Because most people in all the schools I've been to collect stuff like this, and because it's highly popular, I've never collected a single card.

I used to collect those premiership stickers+books every year.
Then I moved on to pokemon cards, which I was obsessed with.

I miss "got, got, got, need, got, got, need" =(

Merlin's Premier League '95 sticker collection. I stood in line for 5 hours at one of those swapshops to complete my collection, and they still didn't have the Arsenal badge shiny. I had to send off for it, but I got it in the end!

I collect coins with different pictures to the standard coins, mainly because one day i hope in about 300 years there will be a massive loss of old coins and my decendants will be able to sell the coins to a museum for lots of money (or what ever they'll use in 300 years time). Then my name shall be honoured by may family for decades to come :D

and no i am not kidding

In third grade science, we learned about rock formations and sediments, etc. At the end of the year we each got a big huge case full of rocks and stuff. I started adding to that, till I was about 14 and then I stopped. Box got full, but I had some neat ones like Geos. Rocks with holes in the center in them, with shiny stuff in the hole. I remember we got one in the box they gave us and I thought there were diamonds inside so I tried to dig them out with my safety scissors. ;D

Premier League stickerbooks just weren't the same without Swindon. I had the Swindon shiny and everything.

Also I hate Dion Dublin. I needed him to complete Man Utd in Premier League 94 and my brother had him but I didn't.

I collect...

Buddhas
Dragons
Manga
YuGiOh cards - 700+ at least

The top too are staues, have a guess what manga is.. lawlz.

I have a table in the living room with all but a couple of buddhas on.

The largest buddha I have, which is sat on a buffalo, is about 40cm in height I think.

My dragon statues are usually made out of metal, with crystals with them, they are in the glass cabinet.

My Manga and YuGiOh cards are in my bedroom cupboard, and they are seen to quite regularly.
