    what did you collect when you were a child?- I collected stamps, rocks, keys, marbles, leaves. lol what about you?

    I collected spoons. The tiny fancy spoons that said the destination on the handle. I had over 30 and from various countries and from several states up and down the east coast. I stopped collecting them in early high school.

    I don't know exactly when I started, but I remember seeing a huge case of spoons hanging and I always thought that was cool, so I guess I was trying to get to that one day.

    Pogs (does anyone remember those?)

    YES.

    omg pogs were awesome!!

    I never knew how to play, but my brothers did. I just loved going to the m j designs that sold them and collecting them. I'd spread them all over my floor a stare at my massive collection : )

    I've never collected anything. Every. And God willing, I'll never start.

    I had so much Barbie stuff we kept it in a second bedroom: The Barbie Room. Yes, really.

    Also, I loved those stupid rubber bracelets that look like o-rings. When I got a black one, (just like Ricky Schroeder) I *knew* I was finally cool!

    Pez dispensers, Bryer horses, ceramic dog figurines, trolls, pogs (it was all about the the ones that had "poison", "8ball" and "skull" type themes though), R.L. Stein Goosebumps books...lot of stuff!
    I don't collect anything as an adult though.

    I collected Transformer comics. I had about 150 and then my mom ended up throwing them all away. I also had a substantial Star Wars toy collection. Its scary to think what THAT would be worth now.
