Roundtable - It's Not Hoarding, it's Collecting!

8/3/2015

Our recent fangirl casting call to buy/sell comic and collectables got us thinking - what do we collect? Action figures, games, posters, tchotchkes? Turns out - all of the above!

My original 1977 Star Wars lunch box and thermos, which I still have!
Lauren:
It has changed over time. When I was young, I collected action figures and lunch boxes - Star Wars, GI Joe, Smurfs, etc. In my 20s, I collected mostly sci-fi movie posters (I practically lived at Suncoast in the mall). My 30s was DVDs and McFarland collectible figures (oh how I miss Media Play!) In my 40s, I must actively stop myself from collecting ALL THE FUNKO POPS.
But the one thing that has never changed - BOOKS. Real. Paper. Books. I have a huge sci-fi/fantasy library (going back to kindergarten) that will never, ever stop growing!
Heather:
I collect everything Star Trek, of course - but I specifically collect Star Trek Christmas ornaments, which I proudly display every holiday season.

Lindsey:
I have a collection of clothing and accessories from the 50s and early 60s. I adore that era and even used elements of the 1950s in my wedding. Movies, books, hats--- I love it all!

Annie:
When I was a kid I had a huge collection of all things Garfield. I eventually sold it all but now as an adult I have started collect Garfield things again.

Garfield is my spirit animal.
Brooke:
I also collected Garfield stuff when I was a kid! 

When I was young, I collected international and vintage stamps, coins, geodes, rocks, solar system posters, miniature animals, porcelain dolls, pens, Baby Sitter's Club and Goosebumps books, and anything green. Then as grew up I realized I'd have to cart that shit around (and dust it)... So, I don't collect much any more.

(I also collected jokes and bad puns. I memorized tons of bad jokes and annoyed my family with them at every opportunity.)

I was a huge pencil and paper RPG player in college, and I have a pretty impressive dice collection - but I haven't been able to find it since we moved :(  Every time I got really into a new character I'd go buy them their own set of dice :)
