Collections...?

Question

Ok. So heres the deal. My uncle started a stamp collection when he was about my age (hes about 40 now) and its amazing now. He has hundreds of stamps, and its still growing. And i'd love to collect something or another, but i have no idea what! So any ideas? If anyone has any cool collections, what do you collect? :)

Answer 1

Hello.

Collecting should really be a personal choice. What you collect should make YOU happy.

So start asking questions about yourself. What are your interests? What kinds of things do you enjoy doing? Are there certain products you like?

Once you start answering some of those things, you may start to see a pattern for ideas of what to collect.

For example, my initials are RC. When I was younger, I collected RC Cola things. Maybe you like baseball. Baseball cards (or other sports) might be fun for you.

Maybe you like movies. Try going to local theaters and seeing if you can get the posters after they are done with them. Or try writing actors and seeing if you can get them to send autograph's.

There are so many things that you can collect. Take a little time and think about the things you like. I'm sure you can find something that will be all you.

Hope this helps you some. Good luck with your search,
Robbie

I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.

Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.

The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.

Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

I collect way too many items. I've collected post cards from all over the world since I was a kid, same thing with foreign currency. I collect silk Japanese and Chinese antique gowns, Venetian Masks, Harlequin dolls, tea sets, wrought iron, statuary, old books (especially dictionaries), vintage fabric, gloves from the 50's, vintage and antique jewelry, buttons, vintage purses, vintage napkins, table runners and tablecloths, brass antique flower frogs and that is what I can remember off the top of my head...

You can literally collect almost anything
