I have a decent collection of Homies. I got a bunch from the turnstyle vending machines at Los Corrals in KC in the early 2000s. Then people just started giving me theirs.
Can't imagine them being socially acceptable today so I have nearly all of them boxed up. [Reply]

I was collecting Gavin Sheets (White Sox draft pick several years ago) baseball cards. I had quite a few autographed and numbered color ( including 2 or 3 1/1) etc. Those are long since gone from a house fire that was a total loss to everything a couple years ago. When I was a kid I collected baseball cards. For nostalgia, I still get the Topps baseball set every year. One day my kids can fight over who's 'not it' when they have to move the heavy totes to the trash.
I have a 2 autographed footballs (Montana & Dante Hall), baseballs (2 Ripken Jrs, Franciso Mejia, & a few Richmond Squirrels), pics (Mark Messier, Chuck Liddell, & Jason Lee), jerseys (Derrick Johnson & Eddie Murray), and mini helmets (Favre, Manning, Couch, Faulk, Dawson, & Unitas) but I don't consider myself to be a collector. I do have two Mahomes autographed mini helmets (I lost the autographed card in the fire). One of them is just his signature. The other has Mahomes, Hill, Sorenson, Fisher, Ward, and Breeland on it. I have exactly two Funco Pops. The Mahomes red and the Mahomes white jersey. I also get the mint set coins every year. I get my kids the football set each year but they couldn't care less about them.

I collect rocks. I don’t buy many specimens, but collect ones that I find from mines that I’ve worked at or places I’ve visited simply to find interesting minerals. They aren’t museum quality, but they have meaning to me and are nice reminders of places I’ve been.
I also like to collect refrigerator magnets from places I’ve traveled. Cheap and easy to carry in luggage. [Reply]
I was going through a box of my old stuff from childhood a couple weeks ago and found a book that had almost the entire set of the 1994 Fleer Ultra X-Men cards. I was so into collecting those when I was a kid. [Reply]
Myself, I collect shot glasses. Even had Bearcat get one for me whenever he was working in Thailand, I have two from Ireland that a co-worker picked up for me on a trip, and my dad picked some up for me on a trip to Mexico a year or two ago. Otherwise, I purchased all of the others.
My grandmother used to collect bells. I inherited her collection. I think it's stored someplace at my dad's house. [Reply]

My boyfriend collects rocks/shells. We have a 125 gallon aquarium, and he has them all in there. Whenever we go floating or to the lake, we always have the kiddo pick out what he thinks is the coolest looking rock, and it gets added. [Reply]

I started collecting rocks when I was a kid and just stuck with it. I try to get my girls interested in it in case one of them finds it interesting enough to pursue as a career later. They aren’t always into it, but if I’m able to take them somewhere that we can collect something with crystals or lots of color in it then they are way more into it. [Reply]
