Default Do you collect anything other than Blu-Rays?

NOTE: I'm not entirely sure which forum this belongs in, so if it doesn't belong in this one, please move it, mods. Thanks.

NOTE #2: I shoulda clarified in the topic post by putting "collect" in parentheses. Obviously, we all love movies and sometimes we end up with a collection even though that wasn't the point. We just like movies and that's why we're all here. So yeah, I don't mean collect by the actual term but at a certain point, we end up with one. So yeah, that's my bad.


Anyways....

I'm one of those people that has champagne tastes and beer money. To coincide with the fact that I collect blu-rays and spend thousands and thousands of dollars alone on that, I also collect sports memorabilia, i.e. autographed jerseys, helmets, footballs, postcards, etc... When I was a teenager, I collected memorabilia and cards, but when I was 16, I succumbed to peer pressure and did some things I shouldn't have been doing until I was 22. I gave up on cards/memorabilia in that six-year span and eventually sold most of my cards (for obvious reasons ), but held onto nearly all of my memorabilia.

After I got sober, I started collecting blu-rays and that was 20 months ago (best decision I ever made; getting sober, I mean..) -- and I haven't looked back; but, a part of me still loved memorabilia and I still spend maybe $200-300/month on autographs and other things. Needless to say, I'm out of room and it's a miracle I even have some money in my bank account.

So, my question is.... Do any of y'all collect anything other than movies or are you just blu-friendly? And if you delve into other things, like books, CDs, sports memorabilia, cards, movie props, shoes, weapons to hunt down Honey Boo Boo, whatever.... post pictures. I wanna see and know I'm not the only one with a multi-collecting addiction.



I'll post pictures of some of my stuff later in the day...
