Do you have a collection of some kind?

I had a stamp collection and a coin collection when I was very young. I lost interest quickly and they didn't amount to much. Then in 1993 my Mom bought me a Peanuts`/Snoopy snow globe. I really liked it and started collecting more Peanuts`/Snoopy snow globes. I now have 96 Peanuts` snow globes. I like the Christmas ones the best. They are SOOoo adorible. But it didn't stop there. Not only did I collect Peanuts` snow globes, but since 1993, I collected just about every Peanuts`/ Snoopy item I could afford. I bought hand signed drawings and pictures by Charles Shultz from a local art gallery. They have doubled in value with the passing of Charles Shultz in 2000. Another reason for their value sky rocketing is the opening of the Snoopy museum. The museum is buying everything they can get their hands on making mine more valuable. I also have limited edition fine art prints drawn by Tom Everhart. If you haven't heard of him, he was the only person Shultz authorized to draw his Peanuts` gang. On May 17, 2001, they released the Snoopy stamp from the Post Office. I have 200 stamped envelopes with Peanuts` characters on them cancelled on the first day of issue from the Santa Rosa Post Office, the home of Charles Shultz. Before they issued the Snoopy stamps, the Post Office hung giant signs to advertize the stamp. The stamp is a picture of Snoopy as the Flying-Ace, flying his dog house. I have one of those Post Office signs framed and hanging up. I have die cast Nascar 1/24 Peanuts` cars signed by Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon, Nascar drivers. The list goes on and on. I have one whole bedroom for just my Peanuts` collection to show off. Most of my collection is actually in storage. I have 100's of toys I've bought over the years. My favorite toy is a 1969 Official Wilson baseball signed by the Peanuts` gang in mint condition with the original box. A rare find! and...what's a Snoopy collection without a 5 foot stuffed Snoopy holding Woodstock. Well you get the picture. I love my Peanuts` collection. I'm always looking for that rare toy or signed drawing. What do you collect? What was your first item you got?
