 Re: Collection Thread
I don't have any pictures, but I've got collections of video games (not quite as large as Flint's and Esquire's), Pokémon/Magic cards (about 3000 cards each, though some of the Magic cards were bought in bulk from the secondary market), stuffed animals (particularly novelty ones like Pokémon and microbes), and musical instruments (which is, granted, a smaller collection due to the cost).

 Re: Collection Thread
I have been collecting MAD Magazines for the past five years or so. I have almost every issue from the month I started to the most recent one.

 Re: Collection Thread
When I was little, I liked collecting hour glasses. I really don't know why, I just liked the the way they looked.

 Re: Collection Thread
Well, I also don't have any pictures of my collections, but I've got small (looking at your collection Flint I should say microscopy ;P ) collection of games, quite nice collection of stamps, coins collection, still I've got somewhere my Magic the Gathering cards and a lot of history books  Maybe someday I'll try to make some pictures of this

 Re: Collection Thread
Well, I've got a fairly large collection of Legos. I could probably get a few pictures of those. Also:

 Re: Collection Thread
Ooh, Lego! I have a lot of those too. From when I was a kit, primarily, but I get more occasionally still.
Also, where were all these Magic collectors when we had a thread on children's card games? Maaan... (Psst... PM me if you're patient enough to want to play me over PMs.)

 Re: Collection Thread
Heh, I had a lot of Legos, but I all of them give my younger cousin  Yeah, high five, MtG fans!  My cards are right now a little old, cause I play MtG last time in 1st class of High School, so it was about 4-5 years ;P

 Re: Collection Thread
Who cares if they're old? That's kind of part of the point of a collection! Speaking of old Magic cards, it should be noted that within my collection, I have a sub-collection of every fox creature ever printed. As well as every non-fox card that has a picture of a fox in the art (that I know of). ^_^ As for Legos, I plan on giving my collection to my kits. They'll probably love having lots of them. If they know what's good for them. They don't get my plushies until I'm dead, though.

 Re: Collection Thread
I recall that there has already been a collection thread. But I'll just go ahead and post again what I collect, because it's changed slightly.
I said in the last thread I collect Ticket Stubs. That's still true.
And that I'm a digital hoarder. And a book hoarder. Also still true. In fact just yesterday I got a "solid" copy of a book I already had in a digital state, and I'm not about to get rid of the audio book.
But what's new is that I am going out of my way to collect G4 My Little Pony merchandise. I'd take a picture of all the stuff I have so far but I don't have a camera.

 Re: Do you collect anything?
[I stated typing this in the thread Flint started, only to notice that it had been moved once I hit preview] Wohoo finally a thread I can really contribute towards! I collect yoyos (whoodathunk, amirite?). Prepare your eyeholes for the chocolate-fire-tornado that is my post, it's gonna be wicked piture-heavy. This was my case as of a couple weeks ago. It doesn't have all the yoyos I currently own, and some have been sold or traded. These are my metals. In order:SPYY Ronin, Big Brother Yoyo Wedgie (Pre-Production), Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works Wooly Marmot (Hulk Smash colorway, one of a hundred in the world) YoyoFactory DV888, Auldey L3, SPYY PunchLine!, Werrd Two Fat Ladies Yoyos I currently own:Werrd Two Fat Ladies This yoyo comes from the land down under by a company called Werrd. It features a raw finish, TWO bearings (as can be seen in the second picture), and a spiked hub for "Top-Like" play on your finger (thats not what it's actually called but thats a term I feel alright using for you guys  ). I acquired this from a dear friend of mine named Joey in a trade.    (yes, that last one is spinning!) Big Brother Yoyo Company Wedgie (preproduction)I got this from the same person I got the one above. It is made by a company that us in the yoyo community abbreviate to BBYY. Features a raw finish that can only be found on the few preproduction models that exist, the actual run is anodized yellow on one half and purple on the other. This yoyo is weird, and hated by many, because it has an "A sized bearing". People tend not to like these because they can be a bit snaggy and temperamental in the wrong hands. I happen to love it!  YoyoFactory DV888This cylinder is wicked special to me, mostly because it was my very first metal yoyo! It has seen many many hours of hard play. The rims have been dinged up, so I sanded off the annodize and polished the rims. The threads in the halves of the yoyo have been stripped so they are currently held together with a bolt and nut. Truly a beater yoyo that tuns heads a meets and contests! It has so much character! (look at the hub of the yoyo in this picture and then at the next. You can see how I replaced the axle with a bolt and nut!)  Auldey L3Not really much to say. It's a cheap Asian yoyo that I got for free. Currently pending to a friend. [no close picture  , its the red and yellow one] Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works Wooly MarmotThis yoyo is rare, one of a hundred in the world. Canadian company Caribou Lodge is well known in the yoyo world for their absolutely breathtaking anodizations. This specific one was received in a trade with my good friend Jim.  Saturn Precision Yoyos (SPYY) Punchline!Currently my personal favorite and the one that sees the most play. SPYY, another Canadian company, is known for the amazing smoothness of all their yoyos. Their quality standards border on the ridiculous. Features a beadblasted surface, dual color splatter anodization, laser engraved cups and spiked hub for that "Top-Play"   SPYY RoninProbably the only angular yoyo I can stand to play with. Usually I much prefer the soft curvy shapes like the Punchline. This yoyo features an amazing acid wash anodize, beadblast, laser engravings (Brownie points if you can guess what it says!), and spiked hub. Sees a ton of play and is pretty rare speaking that they just came out in limited numbers not too long ago.  Yoyos I have previously ownedYoyoFactory 888 (2010)YoyoFactory's most successful line of yoyos has easily been the 888 series. I'm not going to go much in depth, but it does have an awesome pinkish-purple color and "Hubstack" Technology, which are plastic hubs with bearings that let you hold the yoyo by the sides much like the spiked yoyos.    that last picture shows the yoyo with "Top Tips" installed! OneDrop Project and General-Yo Mini Star (Purple heart edition)During Breast Cancer Awareness Month I collected a ton of pink and purple yoyos and donned my pink string on all of them. Not a whole bunch to say on the Project (the true pink one), besides the fact that the hub is a replaceable nut in case it strips, and that the surface in the catch zone is grooved, which is really cool. The MiniStar (Purple Heart Edition) on the other hand, is incredibly rare, with only about a dozen being made in that colorway. I ended up giving it to a friend that would show more appreciation for the rarity than I would; I'm a player first, collector second.  YoyoJam EnemeDesigned by 2003 world champion Johnnie Delvalle. I found it to be kinda hollow and cheap feeling, unfortunately. Traded it for two sweet iPods!  SPYY AddcitMy first SPYY yoyo! I bought this thing for an unbelievable $40. Traded it for the Punchline up there  Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works CampfireThe blue one. First Caribou Lodge yoyo I owned. Didn't see a lot of use because I found it too light and too small. I ended up trading it for the Project up there YoyoFactory HecticAlso an "A bearing". This one didn't really work well with the small bearing so I traded it for the Wedgie up there  .   Well I think that's pretty much it for yoyos worth mentioning! Feel free to call me crazy, insane, or what have you

 Re: Do you collect anything?
Skateboards. Every time a friend breaks theirs or buys a new one, they give it to me. I used to have 21, but my mom gave them to charity and I'm back to only owning the one I use.

I collect old glass bottles. I should post pics of some of the neat stuff I've got. You wouldn't believe most of it has been sitting at the bottom of a lake for over fifty years.

 Re: Collection Thread
I've got a few I use regularly: a red/white deck, red/black/artifacts, and a green/black one. There's also a Sliver deck, but no one lets me use that one. Not anymore. Then I think you might like my basement. We've got a couple cavalry sabers, a broadsword, a scimitar, a few of daggers, a kukri, and a bayonet. I would like to get an axe, though.

 Re: Do you collect anything?
The Wedgie, DV888, Hectic, Project, Mini Star, and Eneme were made in the United States. The older 888 series was made in the US as well but production of all of them after 2010 was moved to China, much to my disappointment  . That's actually one of the reasons I got rid of it.

 Not an Audiophile, Need Help
Nice to know America still makes something other than food, bowling balls and scented candles. I also collect audio equipment, most of which were very bad decisions. Sub-50 USD earbuds: Made to Break(tm) The best things I've owned so far are the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros and CX 300 IIs. I have a Sony stereo with subwoofer, again that's probably not a very good decision on my part. Looking into the Audio Technica ATH-M50 among other things to replace the Senns. They just aren't powerful enough. If I had some serious coin, I'd check out the Sleek Audio SA7 (which will be proudly Made in USA and were featured in Wired) for buds, but alas, I cannot afford it.

 Re: Not an Audiophile, Need Help
Funnily enough, most high end yoyo manufacturers are based in the US. Canada is a runner up with Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works and SPYY, which I consider to be the greatest two companies to grace this Earth. So it's not all syrup and hockey
