My weakness is Star Wars memorabilia. The pride of my collection is a pair of original Tie fighters from 1978. I also collect rocks and fossils.

I certainly do not start collection of anything in order to make a collection.
These (mine anyway) accumulations of records and books eventually become collections, I suppose, but cerainly not started or even later on pursued with the motive of building a collection.
I just collected a few beer coaster in the early 90's because I thought they looked cool, and all a sudden everyone of my friends started collecting them for me, but that was not my intention at the start
Etc...

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Zippo lighters, I have around 100, a couple from the 40's and one apparently from 1935 that is suposed to be one of the first ones commercially profitable.

I collect Trading Cards [Magic: The Gathering; Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Art Cards] as well as Star Trek memorabilia. I also have a an interest in collecting die-cast WWII aeroplanes and models. My collecting mania started when I was quite small with Postal Stamps. Now collecting is a hobby and an addiction which can get very expensive!!

Before I got seriously into music, I had a huge game collection, but slowly but surely I've been selling my games and buying CDs.
