I collect Stephen King books in hardcover(first ed. when i can, but that is secondary) Have always loved reading his work.
There are other things I would love to collect, just haven't made time or space for them

I used to collect mushrooms. Kinda weird but they fascinate the crap out of me.
I also collect large crystals and rare rocks.
I'm extremely interested in hand made Tibetan style rugs.
Starting on pipes and baccy
I also like antique furniture especially gothic stuff.

I did the same for a long while.
Finally started selling off a few years back. I'll have to check my stash and see if I still have any firsts left for ya!
I have a beer glass collection but other than that I don't really collect stuff. I buy bottles of booze but they are intended for drinking and thus it isn't collected just a stockpile waiting to be consumed. Same with cigars, stockpile, not collection.

I build model cars so I've got a collection of about 300 kits right now along with probably 50-60 that I've built. That's what my retirement time is going to be spent on. I also collect pre-1991 Marvel comic books (I read them all and love creasing the pages. lol!) and have a handful of cool cigar boxes and pipes. I used to collect Van Halen pins and have a VH hat that's covered with them.
Knives (case, etc). Probably have 300 or so pocket knives.
Music- I have around 20,000 CDs- mostly live shows and a great deal of it is grateful dead.
Instruments- at any given time I have 10-12, but I trade around a lot. Guitars, basses, mandolins, dobros.
Most importantly, Kentucky basketball memorabilia. Makers bottles, prints, signed balls, etc. I have the original 1978 championship banner- they were sold at auction a cpl years back and replaced with new ones.

Exactly my philosophy. I have quite a few cigar but intend on smoking them all so don't really consider that a collection. I have a lot of beer and whiskey but plan on drinking all of that so again not a collection. I have a lot of watches but I wear them and throw out the paper work as don't plan on selling them so not really a collector there either. Few pipes but only what I need to be able to smoke what I want when I want. Bit o pipe tobacco that falls into same category as cigars... So well I may hoard I don't collect
When I was 18 I worked for a private sector security contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan (quit when I found out I was having a Son) and I got way into collecting weapons. Of any kind really. Most of my stuff is in storage now but I have some cool african spears and some actual iron sword fragments from the dark ages. The hilt of a viking sword from sweden, a native american bow and arrow, stuff like that.. Now that I don't work in that field I tend to collect lots of tacticool shit that I used to have to use. Like chest rigs, trauma kits, body armor. You know the usual.

this will come as no surprise to anyone, but all my toys that are not tobacco related are nerd related; metric shit ton of Magic the Gathering cards, ton of comics, room full of books that my wife and i share, and a room full of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and gaming books in my area.
but another vote for "it's not really a collection". the comics and books are read and reread, the gaming books and magic cards are played, and the tobacco WILL all be smoked, preferably by me or whoever i choose to hand it out to. the ONLY reason i keep the older and excess stuff is to revisit it, and in so doing revisit an old chapter in my life: who i was dating when i last played this game, the trip i was on when i first got that book, that kind of thing.

music - compact disks & vinyl LP albums. I'm close to 13,000 but I don't think I will hit it this year.
