I've got a nice collection of vinyl records, cassette tapes, and CDs from Nine Inch Nails.

NASA mission memorabilia. I don't have much, but when I come across old mission patches and things like that, I snap them up.

Besides dust?
I've tried to collect money, but it is hard to do. Somebody always wants what I have. I do save ticket stubs from things I do with kids and grandkids.

Does being a pack rat count as being a collector?

I am an avid collector of stuff that I can't find.

I used to collect business cards from police officers whenever they would arrest, cite or just make negative contact.
Kept 'em in a little photo album. They loved it! "Lemme see. Oh, you have Smith! And McIlvain!!Haha"

I use to collect antique stuff. You know when that was the trend. I also collected cats. Not the real kind. I try to collect some Jayhawk Memoribilia. Now, when I move to my new house, I just looked at each object and said to myself "do I want to have to dust this?" This is how I decided what to keep and what to donte to the church Treasure Store. Got rid of quite a lot. I kept those things that were really dear to my heart. Glad I don't have all that dusting to do.

I've got every Heavy Metal magazine, thirty three years worth now. Many were hot off the press at Color Press.

My first job out of high school was at Kansas Color Press working in the press room. I don't remember any heavy metal magazines. Can you remind me of the titles?
I do remember printing fraternal, cooking, and humor mags along with TV Guide. But it's been 25 years since they closed and I have forgotten a lot of the title names. National Lampoon was my favorite.

I have a desultory collection of books by Paul Gallico: The Poseidon Adventure, Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris, The Abandoned (also called Jenny). I'd love to get a copy of The Hand of Mary Constable, but I haven't looked for it yet. I also have all of the Horatio Hornblower books (C.S. Forster).
These are all paperbacks and not worth any money, I'm sure.
I also collect blue glass--cobalt or aquamarine, as long as it's affordable (i.e., cheap) and I think it looks pretty. I'd love to collect Mason's blue and white ironstone, but it's too pricy, so I have to content myself with broken teacup of the real thing. I broke it.

Some people say my potato chip looks like Jesus. But I am sure that Jesus would never be caught dead in a headband.

I have all of the Aubrey/Maturin books, and some books about the rigging and such of sailing ships. I will be buying all of the Twilight books and movies. I have all the Chuckie movies.
