As a child we all like to collect something- stamps, matchboxes, leaves, flowers etc etc and make a collection and show it off.
For me, the first ever collection was that of match box covers and after some time I started collecting stamps and then coins and that was it. I have none of the colections with me anymore, they all got lost as I grew up. What did you collect and do you still have you rcollection?

i used to collect stamps before but all of them are gone when our house was renovated and some things are thrown maybe my stamps are included. I was really upset then thats why i havent collect anymore. Recently i love to collect little shells from beach like those which can be use as accessories.

I collect everything. I'm a total pack rat.
The thing that I intentionally collected first was probably sports cards, mostly baseball. I've sorta given up on that though and sold most all of them. Now most of the money I spend towards things I collect goes towards tribal art. Most of the pieces are from tribes in various african countries and a little from south america and asia.
