What do you collect?

[Sifo]

This is a keyboard forum, but some of us are hoarders at heart! Post pictures of stuff you collect!

Keyboard wise I have my LZ-S and GON NS 87... 6 keychains, and you've all seen my keycaps and stuff. My keyboard collection really isn't as huge as I'd like it to be.

Zippos: I've been collecting Zippos for 2-3 years now? I can do tricks with them and I like to play with them whenever I'm bored, and I love working out my fingers.

Gunnar Optiks: I wear these, prescribed, I get them for free. I have 3 pairs. There are pictures of me wearing the blue ones.



TechKeys business cards: I don't have many, especially not duplicates. I am missing the GOLD one (ironic that I'd be searching for the #GOLD one?)



Lapel Pins: I grab these everytime I go travelling, it started when I was young and travelled the east side of Canada. The shirt happens to be one of the ones I wore during said trip.



Guild Wars: Big fan of this game. See for yourself.


Pre Guild Wars 2

Now

I even have my original art book signed by the team.

And some of you know me for my love of Evangelion:










Probably a bunch of other stuff I've missed. I definitely have way more "stuff" but these are the things I go out and collect. Oh speaking of which, I have like 20~ New Era Fitted caps, no pics of it.

Now... post your cool collections!

[Sifo]

Oh and not technically apart of any collection, but most people should know that I love StarCraft. oGs was my favorite team, I hope this makes tsangan jelly (payback for all the crap he owns T_____T)

[noisyturtle]

SNES games, single malt scotches. Used to be a huge collector of MTG cards(beta mox emerald and unlimited time walk are my 2 prized cards) and comic book based action figures(have around 200+ in a basement somewhere, most still MIB)

[DamnDan]

Great collection Sifo! Love the zippos

I collect consoles Mainly gameboy, but have many other non-handheld




Sometimes I mod them a lil bit:



As well as some gaming related stuff like:



Apart from that I seem to be collecting PC's O,o but that collection is unintentional I repair electronics, mainly PC's and my clients often leave behind their old hardware

[Sifo]

Oh! I love playing Magic too but I don't collect so much since I only play Standard Format (I bought a booster box of Dragon's Maze while I was in America which I will get rid of once I construct my deck). I however do keep all my previous competitive decks, so that in itself is kind of a collection. (I label them, for example 2012-2013 or whatever years I played it, and then archive/retire it).

As for gaming stuff, I have a ton of retro gaming stuff and a bunch of consoles too. I however stopped with all that stuff T_T

[Steven]

Great collection Sifo! R u a Chinese or Korean?

[yearn4]

i think he's jamaican

[Sifo]

I am a Chinese who knows too much about being a Korean.

[meiosis]

I used to have lots of Taeyeon(김태연) signed stuff and etc...

Also Sifo I have the 75th anniversary zippo


One of the better looking ones I think that were cheap a while ago (around retail or a bit over?)

I think as far as collecting goes currently, I collect money on online poker to see how high I can go before I graduate college . Always loved grinding in games thank god it transferred to poker.

[CPTBadAss]

Band t-shirts, ticket stubs from shows I go to, and N64 games. I'll post pictures later.

[SpAmRaY]

I just collect dust!

Oh and Sifo that is some awesome stuff you have bro!!

[bahamot]

Got Filco majestouch 2, Ducky Shine2, Ducky G2Pro Dye Sublimation, Poker2.
And a bit of one piece action figures and gundam SD scaled models.

Oh and my own water color drawing like the one on my PP.

[Shadovved]

Collection of keyboards not as big as some longtime GH-ers......and then there's the girldc caps

I collect SB cards!

There must be still some forgotten relics of my eraser collection from primary school.....the ones with all the different country flags and those with different pokemon printed on it

EDIT: Action figures.....I've always wanted a Sona figurine from LoL.....but a custom made hand painted one from Andrea Minatures costs nearly $4000 with the mold costs.....

[Sifo]

Shadovved we will be sending you Chicago Starbucks cards

[Shadovved]

PICS OF BEER CANS!

I have a small collection of cans from Japanese drinks I had too

[tadbitnerdy]

@Sifo and Excaliborg:  You two are the masters of awesome... true story.

[Xenderwind]

Im afraid to start collecting figures cause I know I would spend so much on them.  Don't really collect anything myself but seeing those guild wars things reminds me that I made my gw2 warrior after saber from the fate series.  Had a sunrise and everything and made the front page of /r/gw2 on halloween  .

Closest I have to a collection is my sc2 shirts.  Two team liquid ones, TL hoodie, a fake IM one, an audiobuilds one, complexity, axiom, zerg logo one, and day9 shirt.  Though I need to start watching again.  I think I've only seen a couple games of hots.

[Sifo]

Oh. StarCraft shirts huh...

Dignitas hoodie
oGs jacket/shirt uniform
Sup Son shirts
Dark Templar shirt
Protoss shirt
Team Liquid shirt
Uh... probably more I can't think of

[davkol]

dust, crap, scars and spider webs... but seriously:

free software T-shirts (mostly from conferences and GBs, but also one that was given to me by Marble developers), red hats (I have two) and baseball caps (one still probably has Linus Torvalds' dandruffs, lol)... and penguins (i.e. Tux)
backpacks (seriously, I have at least ten backpacks, although only Wenger Maxxum and the crumpler one are used regularly... it's almost like purses)
music (mostly European power metal, nothing extraordinary except some Helloween bootlegs)
pictures of weather, especially clouds or fog (unfortunately, I haven't had time to process it, it's like ten thousand photos)
headphones (proud owner of HD 25-13 and HD 565 (the 90s!), I want to get rid of the rest (cheap grados, audio-technicas, musician-centric beyers))
keyboards, mouses and trackballs (nothing too exciting compared to other members... and again, I want to keep just a few ergo boards and trackballs, and be done with it)
books (not physically, but I've read almost JRR Tolkien's writings including the less known ones)

[evolyn]

shoes and keyboards keys ofc but shoes and another hobby is cars but i can't collect them.

[MTManiac]

too many things to acknowledge or else my head would explode
mtg (20,000+)
lasers (red, blue, green, violet, uv, no plasma yet hrmph)
old coins

[Smeagol_RP]

PC game boxes.

[Sifo]

God my MTG is about to grow.... I kinda regret buying the Dragon's Maze booster box. Could have just bought myself a nice deck.

[demik]

Girlfriends? Boyfriends? Come on, no one?

[Tym]

Girlfriends? Boyfriends? Come on, no one?

Are you a Mormon or a rapist?

[demik]

Girlfriends? Boyfriends? Come on, no one?

why not both?

[sth]

i try to purge my belongings and stick to a reasonable number of the same thing... i used to be QUITE the collector growing up, from action figures to game systems to computers (i had a decently impressive sized collection of vintage Macs until I was about 17) to CDs to bikes to magazines (over 5 years of EGM, about 50 issues of MacAddict, holy **** did anybody else here ever read MacAddict)... i was on track to hoarderville until I moved out on my own.

these days i don't have a lot but i do like LotR stuff, bikes still (though I'm down to about 2.5 right now) and if a collection of two counts, my guitars. i also own a couple or three drum kits but only one is down here with me; the other stuff is back home in storage.

[laden3]

Definitely not both 

[jameslr]

I collect living, breathing, pooping, money eating, children...I have 4 of them (yes they're mine not somebody else's). And apparently I collect cats too. I have 4 cats (2 stray) that live outside now, and a stray just had a litter of 5 kittens and took off (abandoned them). Now we're bottle feeding them until they're old enough to eat...err I mean find a good home for.

J/k about eating them. My wife hates Chinese food. haha

[vun]

Mad jelly of Sifo's GW collection :/
I got into it a bit late, managed to snag a Factions CE, but not able to find any other CEs :c
Did get the GW2 CE, which is awesome, even though I've lost interest in the game(still play original GW from time to time, though). Kekai Kotaki is the bawss.

As for collections; I collect mice I guess. I've got about 20 pointing devices so far and it's still growing.
Also like to collect special editions of stuff, although I rarely buy a CE of anything I don't want just because it's a CE, that only happens when it's like 50% off or more.

I am a collector, but I often find it hard to justify getting more of stuff simply because I want more of it, so I only end up collecting the stuff that I have a use for and care about. I would like a buttload of knives and zippo lighters for instance, but I have pretty much 0 practical use for them, so I only have a few.

In short; I collect stuff I use enough so that I can actually rotate between the various items in my collection. So far it's really only noticeable with mice and games(only have one proper music CE), but I fear it will expand into audio and photography gear later on.


Edit:
Don't actually have proper pics of all my mice yet, but hopefully going to get around to it when I've got the apartment to myself one day, since I'll want some pics for my mega-review I've been working on as well.

[CPTBadAss]

I really like metal....like a lot. I usually go to 10-15 shows a year.

I collect the ticket stubs or any kind of picture of shows I've been to. That's the first page of my binder that holds all the swag.

...And then this is my t-shirt/hoodie/shorts/band merch collection










And the most important shirts, anything to do with 518 and the music scene there (Born Low, The Viking, Skyline of my hometown on an Acacia Strain Shirt, some weird GeekHack shirt )


Oh and some SC2 swag:

[tjcaustin]

The only thing I collect is debt.

And anger.

Upon further thought, I may start collecting headphones

[Game Theory]

Keyboards most recent was a IBM beam spring 5251.
Anime and manga (though both of those are at about the end of the habit except for Eva which I'll just keep buying and buying).

Collected alot of DnD stuff back in the day but want to slim that collection down atm.

[Morwrath]

I pretty much only collect beer caps:P

Been going through my "1001 beers you must try before you die", trying to find new beers to test out.
It's gonna take a long time before I'm done with this book.

Holy **** I'm jealous of your merch collection CPT!

[CPTBadAss]

Hehe...it's been something I've been collecting for almost 10 years so I love it. Thanks for the kind words.

I also have like 30+ N64 games and some cool N64 controllers. But it's all the games everyone has like StarFox 64, Goldeye, Super Smash, etc etc. So no pictures.

Oh and GeekHack keycaps.
