People Reveal The Things They Are So Obsessed With That It Grew Into A Collection (New Pics)

I find the process of looking for it very enjoyable and mindful. It’s less about the collection than the process, but I am always jazzed for find a really interesting new color!

My dad was in broadcasting, through the 80s and 90s he was likely responsible for the satellite connections for a ton of the live news and sports you watched on TV. He had a very impressive collection of microphone cozies detailing his career displayed prominently in his office. When he moved to a retirement home he culled the collection, these are the ones he held onto. I got them after he passed earlier this year and I just put them up on the shelf.

My collection of WWI, II/Post WWII/Industrial issued gas masks (masks issued between 1915-1988).

I'm not even sure I've ever seen my roommate vacuum before.

My collection of dog and wolf items (not including all my figurines books and other little dog items). My favorite breeds to collect are Collies, Shibas, Akitas and rare spitz breeds.

I own one of each of the all-in-one designs of classic Macs - from the first one in 1984 to the G4 in the top right of the photo in 2002. (I have a 52xx Performa as well, it’s just currently in pieces).

Took 5 years of collecting, and I’m out of space to display any more, but I’m super proud of how my display turned out!

So recently I just started this new collection of trying to collect every Heinz Sauce Packet. I’m trying to find the more rare and unique ones such as Strawberry, Honey Mustard, Barbecue Packet, Hot Taco, Salad Dressing! My most recent finds are Italian Dressing and Ranch Dressing!

Jigglypuff has been my favourite right from the beginning, so a fair amount of these pieces have been with me since childhood.

Time for more storage! Collector since '97.

Been saving them for nearly a decade for the craft project of a lifetime.

This is the toy line I used to dream for as a kid. And now I can collect it as an adult.

At 605 now! I’ve found ones with leaves up to 7. The other day I found 19 fours and 4 fives. I started putting them in this book and dating them in 2021.

Now she is my wife and we have over 7,000 out of the 10,000+ currently in print. We enjoy watching movies while we organize the new cards we get into their binders.

Lifetime Gamer Here. I'm pretty excited that I can finally get all my great gaming goodness out of storage and start unpacking it. 5 Decades of my personal collection in a single shot. 50 Years Of Gaming, if anyone is interested.

Just more backstory. My kids have moved out and gone to college. I now have a spare room to make a gaming room. I moved everything out of storage and put it in my living room so I can sort it all out and get everything organized in my new gaming room. I even have a YouTube channel called "50 Years Of Gaming" if you want to see an up-close, quick video.
