40 years ago, comics. In recent years I have been selling them at impressive profit.
Also back then, SF paperbacks. Only a few favs remain.

Books. Cookbooks, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and historical fiction mostly. Lipstick and nail polish. Thought not necessarily always physical versions of them, video games. I want to say my video game collection is pushing 300 something at the moment. For the most part I really intensely dislike clutter and overall prefer minimal stuff. I don't so much keep any knick knack/whatever that doesn't get regularly used. I guess I collect stuff for cooking, but I use all of it regularly and don't have say, multiples of a particular object other than things that are typical (cutlery, plates, etc).

I'd like to think I've collected many blessings over the last few months, though not really an animate object. I'm grateful for each and every one of them.

No, not really. I've made a number of half-ass attempts over the years, but it was never anything I really got into. I don't think I ever finished even a single set of Happy meal toys.

I don't have much "stuff" to be honest. Excepting clothes, pretty much all of my possessions could fit into one suitcase.

My husband claims it's merely a well-stocked music studio, but I quit counting after 30 guitars. His studio is not big enough to hold 30 people much less 30 guitarists all playing at the same time. OK, even if they played 3 or 4 guitars during a session you still wouldn't have room for the two drum kits, baby grand, two electric pianos, a Hammond organ and I have no idea what that thing is in the corner next to the accordion.

He collects musical instruments, pure and simple. Years ago he was asked to contribute some instruments for a charity auction. He gave them 12 guitars. I do not know where they came from because it didn't look like he had any fewer instruments than before. He's donated instruments to this same charity for years! I swear he's buying some just to give away so he doesn't have to touch his precious lot!

The sweetie collects guns. I don't know how many he actually has. Pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and rifles. He has been collecting them for years, in addition to some of them being for work. He also collects video games, kinda like I do. Some physical, some digital.

I kind of stopped collecting things - now I mostly collect people - not in a Silence of the Lambs kind of way - but in the surround yourself with those who make your life better kind of way

Comic books!
Silver age to modern day(I'm picking up new releases every Wednesday)for almost 40 years(I'm 44 now)I love trading,searching,and talking about comics.
Right now my latest comic book obsession is getting the complete run of The Marvel Graphic Novel series that was released back in the 80's.
