My CollectionDo you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

2000adsBeen collecting them since 1977 and all the Dredd megazines, all read and then stored in the A4 paper boxes we get at work then put in the cupboard under the stairs with prog numbers listed on them.
Books - too bloody many. I tend to buy anything by an author once I decide I like them, and like others here Terry Pratchett features, alongside Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe), George RR Martin, Brian Lumley and others. For the last ten years it's been first editions of new books which has seen some nice growth in resale value. Not that I would.
DVDs - Stargate and BSG but thank god for TV torrent sites ;o)
And my wife collects elephants, mainly Tuskers. The house is filling up with the buggers and they are now migrating into the garden. God help me if I ever win the lottery because she's bound to want a real bloody one.
The 2000ads are a bit embarrassing now, was seen reading them at work a few times to be met with "You read comics at your age??" I'm only 39 :o( and it's not a comic its a magazine. So there.
