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

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.

Yes,I have the same weakness.I love collecting Star Wars memorabilia,espeically stuff relating to the original trilogy.The pride of my collection is all the original(the first line)action figures from Star Wars(all in their boxes,unopened)and an original movie poster for the first movie(when it came out in the theaters I watched it every Saturday religiously,for almost a year!!!When the movie left the theater I asked what they were doing with the poster and they said..throwing it away..so I asked for it and they gave it to me.)

I also collect comic books(Spiderman #1 and X-Men #1 my pride and joy)and books(mainly first editions).

I have an original Return of the Jedi poster signed by (among others) Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Jeremy Bulloch, Richard LaParmentier, Paul Blake, Julian Glover, Michael Sheard, Bruce Boa, Warwick Davis et al?  Every autograph was obtained personally by me, and the poster provenance is listed with You Gotta Have It, the #1 autograph house in the U.S.  So...how much do I hear offered?  LOL.  I also have every single Star Wars book published.
 
Re my own collections, I was, at one time, among the three largest collectors of Bondiana in the U.S.  At one time, I had first editions of 85% of Ian Fleming's novels (both British and American editions), and first editions of 100% of John Gardner's Bond novels (both British and American editions).  Two of my Ian Fleming's (you Only Live Twice and Thunderball) were autographed by Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell, and my British first of On Her Majesty's Secret Service was autographed by George Lazenby.  I sold the entire collection in 2003 for many thousands of dollars.
 
I also have a quite a collection of (don't laugh, now...) demitasse cups and saucers from all over the world.  And like many here, I also collect books of various types.  My children's book collection is fairly extensive (including old books and first editions), and my art book collection is also broad.
 
Peace.

The original Star Wars figures seem to me to be much more genuine, they have that vintage character. One of my uncles collects comics, he has literally thousands all sitting in boxes in several different people's houses, I have spent many days reading through his collection.

I'm a big collector of British action/adventure TV shows from the 60s and 70s on DVD. My favourites are The Professionals, The Sweeney, The Avengers/ The New Avengers, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Lovejoy, Minder, Doctor Who, The Prisoner, Department S, The Champions, Randall and Hopkirk Deceased.
 
Also, have a ton of Westerns, 60s and 70s action films (Clint Eastwood/Charles Bronson etc.) and Kung Fu films, though the latter of those I've gone off slightly in favour of cult TV, a far more entertaining endeavour imo.Smile
