What Do You Collect?


Is there something you collect (physical or virtual)? How long you've been doing it?

I collect manuals. I mean, not like actively finding them, but I never throw away the manuals that come with things that I have bought. So I have a stack of 20-30 manuals. Only started two years back, so looking forward to how they stack will grow in a decade or so.

Warhammer models. I’ve been collecting them since the very early 90s.

I’ve sold some off over the years but I have some of my oldest models in my collection still.

Gemstones and silver. There are lots of neat gem rock websites out there where you can get legit stuff for less than you'd think. Ah, I love my shinies. They're so pretty, and they make good gifts, too.
