Hmm...I collect lots of stuff. I do collect license plates, mainly older stuff, like from the '40's. My mainl collecting is of '42-'47 Ford trucks...the trucks themselves, parts, advertising, models, anything that has a '42-'47 Ford truck on it. I also collect Mustang memorbila.

Well we collect Red Wing and Wattware pottery. 75%-80% of our home is decorated in pre 1920's furniture. Many old 1900's cupboards. Jane was brought up in a home full of antiques and I have been brought on board. I try to collect Ford/Mustang things and I have a healthy collection of pulleys, some that are all wooden. Jane is really the collector, I'm the bank.

Lets see,
I collect Pre-War and Postwar Lionel Trains, I collect Kerosene and old Coleman Lanterns, and I collect Antique Amateur (Ham) Radios. Wick, I may have some questions regarding the 20's and 30's Coleman Lanterns..

I collect sports cards. I have around 10,000 baseball cards(nothing of any real value), about 10,000 Football cards(some nice collections of specific players) and probably 3,000 basketball cards (nothing of any significant value either). I'm going to start with my autograph collection this year, including but not limited to, jerseys, helmets and ***** (probably for the most part football) The best piece in my current collection is the signed Mickey Mantle baseball I got 15 years ago at a show. He signed it and handed it back to me. I also have a large collection of Brett Favre football cards (about 900 different, 1500 total cards)

I don't promise to be an expert on anything - but ask away and I'll tell you all I know.

"I" collect debt...a lot of debt. 
Other than that it's golf ***** from each new course I play and a small tree limb from each tree I hit with my sled in the winter, this last is purely un-intentional! 
My wife gathers stuffed bears, moose and the ceramic kind too. I also collect military "coins" although I have really slowed down on those. Now days I try to collect as many kisses from my grandkids as possible as I can't seem to get enough of them.
