Odd things you collect
For me it would be coffee mugs, bookmarks, and towels.
shareNothing odd, just Lego and Hot Wheels.

I squirrel away silver whenever I have some extra money.
Beach glass and pottery shards from the beach.
Old guns.
Different strains of cannabis seeds.
I call all but one of those prepping. Guess which one? 😁
shareLol it does sound like that doesn't it?
Silver is mostly a long term investment that I started in my 20's. I don't expect to get rich, but I think it could pay off after a few decades.
About the guns, I only have 3. My Grandfathers Lee Enfield and two Mausers. I hope to expand my modest collection.
Concerning cannabis seeds, I've mostly been focusing on landraces. They are going extinct at a rapid rate!
I like the rifles. Good place to start.
Both silver and cannabis have a multitude of uses.
Can't think of a practical use for beach glass. Fishing lures?
Yeah I'm an amateur prepper 😯
Pocket knives
shareI had over 150 business cards at one point early in my career.
shareI recommend therapy for that one
shareThat was considered networking back then. I am over it now.
shareOh I do understand. It's just... I did insurance for a decade but I didn't do that lol
shareThe reason I still have a lot of old business cards is I remember these people fondly, so when I thumb past heir card I wish I could still get in touch with them. But this is not realistic.
shareI used to collect a few different things. I still have a box of postcards that have been sent to me over the years, but I don't have much anymore. When I left my husband I realized how much crap I had accumulated over the years and how very little it meant to me.
Ones I still have
Coca Cola Christmas Tree decorations. (but I have one tote, and if I over fill it, I have to get rid of some.)
Coins
Old books.
Guns
Knives
Old Paperbacks
Souvenir Shot Glasses from traveling
I used to collect stamps when I was younger but (like everything I do) eventually took it as far as I could; gave it to someone's son who wanted to get into collecting.
