    Default Got, got, got, need, got, got, need...

    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.

    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.

    I've got almost all 150 of the original Pokemon cards (which are the only ones that matter, imo), I'm only missing Blastoise and Venasaur! xD

    When I was way younger, I loved Pokmon cards. I had a lot of them, but I stopped collecting when I lost my Dark Charizard card. 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.
    eh?

    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" =(
