People Collect The Most Unexpected Things, And These 66 Collections Are Really Cool
I don't know about you, but when I hear the word "collecting", I normally think of comic books, stamps, and vintage coins. And while these things can be incredible to get into, there's so much more that people are stacking on their shelves and in their garages.
As the subreddit r/CoolCollections shows, they don't have to cost a fortune, either. With enough time, dedication, and luck, you can curate an impressive, highly specialized display out of everyday objects. Whatever speaks to you, really!

My Dad Was A Flight Attendant With American Airlines For Over 40 Years. He Just Passed Away And I Found This Going Through His Stuff. Collection Of Autographs From Celebrities He Met On His Flights
Tempest 3 months ago
My dad used to work at an upscale liquor store (all premium and expensive stuff - idk if there’s a better way to describe the store). It was frequented by the rich and upper class and the few times celebrities walked in themselves (instead of sending their personal assistants) my dad would get their autographs for me. I still have a few lying around although I misplaced a lot over the years cause I didn’t know most of the names at that time.

When I'm retired I want to start a tea pot collection. There are some very weird ones out there, I especially love those that are little houses.
Auntriarch 3 months ago (edited)
I've got one shaped like a tap, very odd, I think that's why I bought it. And another shaped like a Marmite jar, for a friend
