    So jealous. My grandparents used to buy my Dad a subscription every year for Christmas, then my parents did the same for me until I moved abroad and the cost of a foreign sub was way too much. I now get digital, which isn't the same, but better than nothing. I remember I was allowed to read them but only after Dad got them first, you weren't allowed to take it out of its paper wrapper or plastic cover, Dad has to first.

    Bored Panda got in touch with professor and avid collector Shirley M. Mueller, M.D from Collectorbrain.com to learn more about why people make collections in the first place. “It is, I believe, a combination of genetics, environment, experiences, and nostalgia all rolled into one,” she shared,

    “They are not divided equally in terms of contribution. It is almost always more of one than another. Which one is more dominant in any one person is difficult to determine.” Nevertheless, it’s quite evident that humans do like large piles of things, while only some insist on gathering large piles of the same thing.

    We were also curious to hear her thoughts on the line between collection as a hobby and as an obsession. “In a word, 95% of collectors or more enjoy their collection. The remaining few, less than 5%, include hoarders who do not experience pleasure when they gather objects as collectors do.”

    You know what would make this collection even better? A picture hung underneath each sign of a person suffering the consequences of that particular sign having been removed! Unless that wasn't possible bc these signs were purchased and gifted. You do realise signs can be purchased right?

    “Instead, what hoarders accumulate becomes an emotional and physical burden (since the household becomes overcrowded and displeasing to everyone). On the other hand, what collectors select, organize and display is satisfying to them, and, generally, the rest of the world. Whether one would call this a line or not can be debated, but it certainly is a difference.”

    My FIL was an old time watch repairman and taught me how to repair pocket watches. That started me on collecting and repairing them to running condition. I HAD a collection of over 500, many from the 1800s. When moving from my old house to my new one, someone broke in and stole the entire collection. No luck finding them even though I have a record of each including serial numbers. New collection has started and I'm up to 20 so far.

    Of the 19 cameras, at least 7 use unobtainable obsolete film, 3 are 8mm movie cameras (questionable usefulness outside of art projects). I believe the other 9 use 120/125 format film, which is still widely available.

    Given the variety of things people gather, we wanted to know what was the most interesting thing she has seen collected. “This is a fascinating question and something I have been thinking about. It is body tattoos. In fact, museum exhibits have even featured this subject. There was one at the New York Historical Society in 2017 which focused special attention on women and tattoos. There have been other exhibits like it throughout the world. The visuals in these displays are exotic and even titillating.”

    My dad brought a soil sample back from Madagascar like 20 years ago. He didn't even think about it until he got to US customs. It was late at night, and he was one of the last people going through. He declared the jar of dirt to customs, and was like, "But I PROMISE, I will seal up this jar with tape and NEVER EVER EVER open it, and--" and the customs guy was like, "Just go." He only wanted to go home. lol The collection above is in small enough containers that OP would never get caught by customs unless they declared it on purpose - though let's hope that none of the friends they show off their collection to turn out to be customs agents! :D

    Naturally, someone out there has the largest collection of something. For example, Bettina Dorfmann of Düsseldorf, Germany is the world leader in Barbie Dolls, with over 15,000 in her collection. One wonders if the recent film made the value of her hobby skyrocket. If yes, good for her.

    For older items, as one can expect, you will have to frequent thrift stores. Unfortunately, more valuable items can be hard to get, as collectors grab them up. So the best bet is to simply explore thirst stores, garage sales, and other, similar venues in the hope of securing a great deal. It’s more possible than you might think.

    At least one of them should be named Frodog Baggins!

    Obviously, the value of a Barbie doll comes from the fact that there are collectors who are interested in it. This is still, for better or worse, a small market. Items with more clear resale value are, naturally, harder to buy. For example, the largest jewelry collection in the world, at least by value, belonged to Austrian philanthropist and art collector Heidi Horten. Around the time of her passing, it was valued at around $150 million.

    This is perhaps why so many collectors focus on more niche items. First and foremost, it’s more accessible than, say, jewelry. At the same time, this also allows someone to create an actually unique collection that stands out. Plus, if you are the world leader in, say, misprinted stop signs, it does ascribe a certain kind of expertise.

    Saw a video of a guy who had a literal room full of mugs on three of his walls. He also had a giant stack in the center of the room, due to the walls being full. A camera crew was interviewing him on his immense collection. The guy with the boom mic, went up a little too far and it caught in the ceiling fan and proceeded to spin around smashing every cup on the walls. He finally caught it. I was thinking to myself (after the shock) well at least he still has the stack in the middle of the room. The boom mic operator stopped the spinning mike and furiously yanked on the boom....and boom...he pulled and the mic dropped right on the pile, smashing the rest of his collection in a truly efficient manner.

    For those wondering, OP has said: It was my comfort movie growing up, I started to notice copies at every thrift store I went to so I started by getting a “back up copy” then it just became a game to find them. THEN I saw the Titanic dude on tiktok and decided to see how many I can end up with... I never buy online. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt finding them in thrift stores and flea markets. I’ve been doing this like 2-3 years.

    That being said, people really will collect anything, up to the point where it starts to seem like something else. For example, the world’s largest toilet paper collection is held by Flo and Richard Newman of Boston. While this could be just a collection, a passion project of sorts, it does also feel like they are stocking up for the apocalypse. Any seasoned collector knows that, ultimately, it can be pretty hard to actually store one’s things. At a certain point, you have to start sacrificing space and eventually rooms in your home. Depending on the value, you might even want to purchase insurance or additional security. Although most burglars don’t have the capacity to lift thousands of bottles of hot sauce.
