Do You Collect Anything?

Do you collect anything?

After hearing about a couple who spent over 40 years collecting different toast racks, I'd love to know if any of you have any similar unusual collections.

I used to have a collection of elephants when I was child, soft toys, rubbers, ornaments, jewellery but not sure where they all went.

Yes, I collect stamps. I used to collect coins too but only have a couple of special ones now, the rest I have given to my grandson.

I collect coins but only ones in circulation as I don’t see the point in paying more than the coin is actually worth. I’ve got a folder with about £70s worth of coins i plan to keep and see what they’re worth in half a century.

I inherited my Dad's First Day Cover collection last year, which goes back some forty years. I am enjoying keeping that going now.

I also buy a beer stein from every Country I visit.

SamGoodship Vinyl LP records from charity shops. According to eBay some are collectable and worth over £10 and some are only worth £2-3. Also toys from my childhood like Star Wars (damaged). I got loads of toys stuck under the stairs at home.
