Board Games
Chineese Checkers boards
Toasters (you know for, like, making toast)
I've picked up a bunch of stuff for the wife that reflect the best of American industrial design. Irons, a power drill, waffle Iron. Maybe I'll post a pick tomorrow.

45 sleeves with old store stamps (mostly for research)
12' sleeves with varying fonts of "disco" on them - got about 450 now with most being Jamaican
Noir VHS tapes and VHS in general
NES and games - I swear I could take the RBI world championship were one to be held

I guess I have a few guitars lying around the place. I also have a few collectable old motorbikes in storage too, that's quite an expensive interest though. But I would say music is the big one.
i would also like to own all the coolest promo stickers ever came out !
me?
Those aren't actually mine, although I have alot of those. I have 90 displayed on shelves in the living room. And probably about 15 in the record room, assorted domed ones and some vinyl boxes too. Uh and thermoses also.
psshhh, you need to grow up and collect baby mamas.
breakbeatraer, yes!
Graphic/Art/Design/Graffiti books (and artwork, where possible)
World Industries-related skate stickers/catalogues (between 1989 and 1996)
T-shirts (primarily Supreme box logo shirts, it would appear)
Certain magazines (took me a while to get all issues of Dirt Magazine...)
I started down the Michael Lau vinyl toy route a couple of years back, but now I only pick up items that I *really* like.
I used to collect banned horror films (nearly all the classic gore films of the 1980's were banned in the UK), but they've re-released them over the past few years anyway.

cats - we have three and feed another three strays in the back and numerous others gravitate to our backyard and hang out
Yeah, when you have two cats people think they are cute. When you have three they look at you like you are some kind of cat freak. I did draw the line at two, but I caved easily when we found a stray kitten.
yea, our third was a stray kitten as well - found in a parking lot during a snow storm.
unfortunately, our cat reputation has meant that come christmas and birthdays, there are always cat motif gifts of the worst kind. cat picture frames, house coats with a cats-in-funny-hats print, cat cuddling with dog sweatshirts and always cartoon cat birthday cards. I shit you not.
That's that then. I reckon I'll be digging holes in the vegas desert for my collection anytime now.
Yeah, sneaks are a problem. I keep just picking them up when I really shouldn't be spending money on them.
Don't get me wrong, I think Dunks are dope (I do have the black Supreme lows and the Chris Lundy lasers), but it seems a LOT of people who are into collecting sneakers have just got rows and rows of Dunks/SBs.
Maybe I'll start a sneaker 'raers' post, as I'd like to see what some of the Soulstrutters have hiding away at home...
Delay, your stash is dope - the beige/brown 90's are ill! I just got the Sertig 90s yesterday:
Not to everyones' tastes, but I love them.
So true
