    International football jerseys. Every time I visit a new country I try to pick up that nation's current national shirt.

    I also have an addition of all the GAA intercounty jerseys.

    I've collected many things over the course of my years.

    Stamps
    Call cards
    Bottle caps
    Beer mats - Cloth & cardboard
    Stickers
    Kinder Surprise Tiny Terrapins
    Corgi Cars
    Metal base Toy Soldiers
    Star wars Figures - Old & new.
    Tie Pins
    Millennium Punt coins

    I don't think I've any of them left any more well bar the Star wars though they're up in the Attic somewhere. Ijust decided to get rid of everything after a while of collecting it.

    DVDs would be a big one in our house, always picking up films when I have some disposable income to spare. Have a room full of wrestling DVDs and merch also

    I have something of a collection of football jerseys, though haven't bought any new ones in a long time. I also hold on to tickets to football matches I've been to, I don't really know if this is a collection though.

    I know a girl who collected special edition cigarette boxes. Her bedroom had one whole wall lined with them.

    Travel books from over 50 years ago. Then go to the places and try and use the books as a guide. Makes for interesting times.

    I like collecting coins.

    I'd really love to have the Quarters from all 50 US states

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_State_Quarters

    I started collecting them when I went over in 2004 and continued it when I went again in 2008. I'm going over this year. I think I have 14 different ones at the moment. It's a long shot, but now they've all been issued, I'd love to have a collection of them all some day. :cool:

    I have a large collection of shoes that don't fit and clothes I don't like, cheap fashion is a false economy.

    Now as for premeditated collections I think I'd like to start one of trinkets as I don't have the means to collect antiques or bricabrac even though I have a good knowledge of it.

    I was given someone elses stamp collection from the 50s, it doesnt feel the same as building something up yourself.

    Rugby flags is my strange one. Any time I travel to a match I try and swap a Munster flag for the opposition's flag. Have most of the Pro 12 teams and a few English and French at this stage.

    Also hang on to all of my match tickets. The season ticket card means I only have a handful of new ones each year now.
