Do you collect odd things?

For years I collected paper. Stationary paper for the rare occasions when I had to write nice notes or letters. When I saw notepads on sale, I'd buy them. I had boxes of very useful paper... I just like paper and the idea of filling it with pretty words, meaningful words... Do you collect anything odd, that most people might not see as a collectible...?

I collect everything which is where my user name comes from. The oddest thing I collect is the rubbings from old headstones. They are all in a book. The inscriptions from 100 years ago and the designs are so neat.

oh don't ask me what I collected when I was a kid... At the grocery store they had sweepstakes cards next to the products and I always took all the expired stacks home. They looked like postcards and on one side you had to fill in all the sweepstakes info... I had tons of those. Guess cuz they were made of paper LOL Napkins eh.... hm. more paper.
