I collect Dragon and mythological creature statues. I have a fairly decent pewter statue collection I'll have to get a picture up. The pewter is getting harder and harder to find so iv stopped mostly.

I also collect swords...cool ones for the look not even slightly useful...except for a few real swords.

Recently my great grandfather gave me a few beers steins from his collection and that has become my new collectable.

Also college debt....does that count, cause I got a lot and it's not done yet.

I collect skills and knowledge. It's the only explanation I can come up with for the variety of hobbies I've had in my life. Woodworking, DIY home improvement, fly tying, firearms and handloading, photography, calligraphy, lapidary, silversmithing, leatherworking, model rocketry, RC flying, and many, many others...even taxidermy.

As for collecting real things, I wouldn't really call myself a collector. That is, I don't collect them as an activity unto itself. I have a collection of guns but I wouldn't say that I'm a gun collector. No antiques or RAHTF models. Just my EDCs and other shooters. Similarly, I also have a collection of woodworking tools but the emphasis is on "working." You might say they make dust rather than sit around collecting it. I have a small selection of Citizen watches but I wouldn't call four a collection.

Now that I think about, I did collect unit and system patches when I was in the USAF but I have only one left to speak of.
