No, I don't collect anything anymore - I used to collect books about dogs, posters with dogs (you should have seen my room ca. 1995!) and those little pocket calendars (not sure what they're called in English, the ones the size of a credit card) with different dog breeds, but that was in the Soviet times or shortly after, when these things were limited and you had to really hunt to buy them. Soon it all became too commercialized when everyone started publishing stuff left and right; you could gather a huge pile of stuff of hardly any value. I still have my collection from those days though.
Baby_Monkey: I collect books, movies, and coffee mugs. What do you collect?
I collect books and recently started collecting refrigerator magnets, like souvenirs from other countries.
I do like to buy items that are the same but in different colors, for example: if I like a pair of shoes and they come in different colors I usually get at least three to four pairs , same with scarves, bed-sheets...does that qualify as collecting or just plain compulsive behavior?
