It's obvious that most people who frequent this forum are guitar/ amp collectors. I was just curiious about what other things you all may have an interest in and collect. Music is my obsession and I have a fairly large collection of CDs and some old vinyl but I am sure almost everyone else here does as well. Any comic, gun, car or collectors of other cool and unusal things out there? Share please!

Transformers toys, comics, anything. Mostly 80's stuff. My collection is worth a small fortune.

Celtic Football Club memorabilia.

And rare vinyl records from within my lifetime.

Ive got a few vintage guitars.

ive got:
1997 Epiphone Riviera
1997 Epiphone Riviera VTSF (Theres only been three discovered in the world)
A Silvertone Paul stanley apocalypse cracked mirror
ive got a LP from 1999
1981 Tokai Original series SX
And i was given a strat that was handmade back in 1955 out of a fender strat back then which fell off a wall and broke so they made a complete, 1 peice maple strat and put the electronics inside it. The sheer weight of this thing will kill you.

Oh and a fender twin reverb from 1990

I don't consider it as a collection but it seems that everytime I buy a book I can't get rid of it when I'm done with it, so over the years I accumulated a lot of books. It's funny because if I compare the books that I've read over the years, you could see the evolution of my way of thinking and my interests in life.
A few years back, I had a neighbour that collected empty beer bottles. He had almost 2000 of them from all over the world. He sold the collection when he and his wife started collecting kids.

There's of course my most relevant collection to these forums, my babies as it were.

Than as you can guess from my username, I'm a KISS fan from way back, so I have a collection of that stuff. Besides this there's still the shirts, dvd's, LP's, etc. that are boxed right now.

I collect the State Highway Maps of every state I have ridden one of my motorcycles through. 81,000 miles on my two bikes since July of 2003.

I have about half of the lower 48 in my collection as of right now except for Maryland which I missed. There were no comfort stops in the part where I passed through.

I can't believe I haven't gotten Mass, Conn, and R.I. yet! Those are half of the six New England states! :lol: With my son at Harvard and daughter at Brown I have been down that way many times... but never on a bike. It always seems to be with my truck towing a damn U-Haul. :roll:

:lol:

Sadly its hardly playable, this thing is so neck heavy that you put it on and it just falls down.

I can certainly understand that, the body is pretty small on those. Surprised the mirror doesn't add enough weight to it.
