NIC, a wonderful poem ... and a wonderful collection.
Now leave Korea ... and come home!

Baseball caps. I have garbage bags full of them in the spare room.

To this day, I still can't explain why. I hardly even wear them.

I collect t-shirts. Graphic or athletic t shirts. This weekend I picked up two Billabong Ts and one Vans t. I like my chest/arms/sholders in a nice athletic cut or vintage cut t shirt.
I have about 300 t shirts.

I would love to have one of your sweat stained t shirts coach

Books - my apartment has always looked like a mad professor's office.

Corrected for my situation.

NCbear (who now has 16 bookcases his height, 6 feet tall, stuffed to overflowing with lots and lots of interesting books, very few of which he has not at least skimmed--his insurance agent thinks they're collectively worth at least $25K)

I have collected many things over time - from badges (buttons) to matchbooks, rock samples, stamps in my passport and international rail tickets. Four country to country moves*, 1 family rift and a fire later and I have none of these things.
Maybe I'll start again with something else someday.

* with nothing but an old landie to fit everything we wanted to keep

Stamps, coins, old Venetian glass trade beads, cameras, authors, sterling silver charms (over 700 and counting), recipes and ... oops, now I understand why we have a mini storage unit...lol

At the last flea market I went too, I tried to buy a latex version of Earl's butt and they called the cops. haha :wink:

Flea market?! See, this is what happens when your ex-boyfriend absonds with the Jello-mold of your butt. This is why J-Lo has hers insured. Hope there were other collectable treasures there that didn't land you in jail.

I also have a pretty big movie collection. I completely forgot about that. I also collect little weird, cool, or funny things. Some of these things include old model cars that I made, a chuckie doll, leatherface action figure, glow in the dark troll, an ashtray with a skeleton in it wearing a rastafarian hat with a big joint in its mouth(never been used),and one of my most prized possessions a glass coke bottle from Camden Yards back in 1983 that has never been opened.
