Those collector Barbie dolls they'd have behind the glass at Toys R Us (mom put them right back behind a glass display case, so I couldn't even really play with them lol), Ty beanie babies, and PEZ dispensers. Sold both the beanie babies and PEZ dispensers a few years ago and made good money off of them. I still have the dolls though.0

I started collecting postcards as a child. I still collect them. I only collect them from places I've been to though or ones sent to me by friends and family (aka I don't collect random "vintage" postcards from places I've never been or from people I don't know).
They are a great thing for a travel lover like me. They're cheap (often 2 or 4 for a dollar), pack well (great for carry on bags), they note where you were (and often when), and the images are often better than anything I can take with my own camera (aeral shots, perfect weather, no under construction/renovations--post cards are great for things like European cathedrals and castles that you can't take a decent shot of in real life).
I have over a shoe box full of the things now. I had them as a collage on my dorm wall in college (with putty to mount them to the wall so that I didn't have to poke holes in them) and they got a lot of attention then (have you really been to X?!). Since college, they've been in a box but I'm now exploring ways to mount them in my home (like a series of framed collages down a hallway).0 -
I've got a 1970 topps football card of my wife's grandfather graded gem mint (pop 1).0

I still have boxes and boxes full of boxes of Garbage Pail Kids Cards at my parents house! I bet they are worth something these days! I also collected those plastic charms you clipped to the long plastic chain necklace and had about a million stickers! Those were the days!0

Angels. My grandma had quite the collection, blown glass, cloth, wood carved, etc... She died on my 7th birthday and my dad and aunts thought it would be appropriate to give them to me.
This turned into my family, other grandma and friends buying them for me, mostly in ornament form.0 -
Whales - I still have a ton of them and people still give them to me as gifts.
Coins - I include $2 bills in this too
Rocks - I still have people bring me back rocks from other places in the world.
Foghorn Leghorn - pretty much anything with him on it.0 -
Pogs (does anyone remember those?)
YES.
