    I collect football jerseys, I usually get them cheap in sales, I'd never pay €80 for one. I don't buy them as much now as I used to. Some older ones I have are classics and new are about €200.

    You see some great shirts on Classic Football Shirts but they are way too expensive a site for me.

    Have been doing this over the last year too. It started with getting into cycling to keep up some fitness and rather than buy the awful clobber for that, I said I'd pick up a couple of nice retro football jerseys that would do that job.

    That ended up being a bit of a rabbit hole and now have a nice little collection which will probably grow. They aren't investment buys, don't come from a "proper" site and they cost buttons compared to some but they are very good replicas all the same.

    It's not meant to be a collection, I just keep buying more and never selling any afterwards.

    Something my wife does and to be fair it’s great to see all the bits collected over the years!

    I collected millennium 50ps from about the age of 10 to 16.
    I had loads of them,when I was about 17 I had no money and brought them all out with me for pints!

    That was the end of them.

    Perhaps so. I’ve always found the idea of obsessively collecting something to be the type of thing that online dweebs do. The same sort of people who collect stamps, read comics as an adult, train spot, or take photographs of planes landing at Dublin Airport.

    I acquire items I want. I recently purchased a first edition collection of Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire for example.
    So what you're saying is that you collected the entire collection then!

    I collect watches.

    Have a small but special collection , unfortunately don't see them often as they're in a safe deposit for insurance purposes.

    When I die my daughter will be a lucky woman that's for sure!

    Gary Glitter albums and Jimmy Savile memorabilia. Not so popular now, but I’m going long. Buy low, sell high.

    I built up a collection of Irish movies on dvd a while back. Some of the movies were quite rare and obscure. There was a music and dvd place in Dublin near Nando's, I think it was in Wicklow Street. I completely forget the name of the place but I picked up most of my Irish movies there. I dumped them all a few years ago though after moving house, I wish now that I hadn't. There were movies in that collection that most likely I'll never come across ever again.

    I like collecting Blu-Rays, mainly of movies, series and anime I love.

    Also collect CDs or books the odd time if it's an artist I love or something I really want to read, only have three vinyl records (two are singles, one is a greatest hits) but wouldn't be opposed to collecting more in future.

    I collect money. the only thing that can be exchanged for the fun things in life.

    Everything else collected is just clutter.

    I note that ads for kids toys on tv talk about "there are 14 to collect". Which is great marketing to get you to buy and collect. Also ive heard about "collectors edition". i found that amusing. who decides what edition is.

    id say the real winners are skip collection companies. When you kick the bucket it will be the relatives who have to throw away all that junk.

    I collect rocks from different rivers I’ve visited. It’s not very cool or exciting but I like it. My Dad told me once that a local river near where he grew up was at least 10,000 years old, so it’s mad to think a rock may have been sitting there for that long. Maybe longer.

    I always put the rocks back in, so it means I don’t really take a rock unless I have a reasonable chance of getting back to the spot. I’ve got a nice one from just below Torc waterfall, really smooth, like an egg almost, and when the restrictions get lifted, I’ll head down to Kerry and put it back, maybe take another one instead.

    Stamps. Started as a kid, but kept it up over the years, gradually getting more niche in what I collect over time. I often wouldn't do anything with it for months on end end then break it out and build it out a bit more. I'm now at the stage where I'd be only buying a handful at a time.

    I've a bit of a collector's mindset but I try to curb it since storing stuff is often a challenge. The beauty of stamps is that they only take up a bit of space on a shelf.
