Kind of off topic - What else do you collect?

I know a LOT of people on here collect Broadway things, signed playbills, window cards and whatever fun Broadway stuff you can find on your own or at the bc/efa flea market....
But does anyone on here collect anything else that isn't related to theatre? I know some people collect candles or stamps or anything?
Me...I love movies ALMOST as much as I love theatre. I started collecting movie posters )that are autographed by the film's cast) like about a year ago. After bidding on a few on Ebay I got to know two poster dealers who now email me when they get new things in so I have a chance to buy them before they sell them on Ebay and usually at a lower price. So now they are hanging up all over my apartment. I think my favorites are Sleepless in Seattle, The Hours and Chicago (I also have a prop that was used in the movie, one of the newspapers that are shown near the end, one stack said GUILTY and the other INNOCENT).
So...anyone else collect anything?

Names. They are one of my biggest obsessions. I'm so weird, but I collect them. I have a long list on my computer.

"Spores, molds, and fungus."

used ones? lol

Anyway, I also collect Barbra related things, and I collect spoons. No, not spoons with which to eat things, spoons that I hang in a display case. It started when I was very little and my Dad would go away on business trips. He would always bring me back a spoon that represented the place he went. As I got older, and went to different states and countries (well, actually, the only other country I've ever been to was Italy), I would buy myself a spoon. I haven't actually bought any in a while, even though I've gone away. I've been a slacker

And although this is included in Broadway things that are collected, I always buy a t-shirt from every show I see. I never wear them...I plan to make them into pillows.

Glad I could inspire you.

Not to insult anyone here, but I kind of find the t-shirts cheesy as far as wearing them (unless it's to bed or if you're actually in the show that the shirt represents); but I really like them. At first I was going to make a blanket with them. Then I figured, if I keep buying more, the blanket will never be finished. So pillows were the answer. I can continue to buy the shirts, and just add pillows to the collection. Plus, this way I can get the front and back logos on them.

Shirts just are cool because they let everyone know you saw the show. If I lived in NYC and attend Bway shows all of the time, I would think differently. When you see a show on tour, it is just cool to buy a shirt for memories...I guess. I don't know!

Faerie figurines, Rainbow Brite dolls, and anything Audrey Hepburn related that I can get my hands on.

---

Christopher Radko Christmas ornaments (although I'd like to add Mr. Radko himself to the collection) and Fontanini Nativity figures.

---

SHOT GLASSES!

Angels or anything else related. As gifts, I have received angel lamps, pillows, pins. etc. When I travel, I always buy one from the country I visit. This time, a Fontanini angel from Italy. It is absolutely gorgeous. This must be my ninth angel from Italy.

Cookie Jars and vintage Fiesta.
Yes, I'm a dish queen.

Oh man Broadwayguy I wasn't expecting that. I nearly choked on my wine. EXCELLENT answer...LOL LOL! I dare not say what I collect here, I'll be torn apart in different directions.
