I am just curious on what people collects, be it stuff toys, books, travel souvenirs, dolls, cars etc. How and when did you start this collection? What kind of satisfaction do you feel each time you look at them? Do you buy most of them or just gifts? Where do you keep them?

I used to have an officemate who loves to collect pigs, not real ones though. That would be a piggery! May it be figurines, stuff toys, mugs, ball pens, bags, etc. Name it, she has it. During her birthdays or Christmas, I don't have any problem on looking for a gift specially for her. Just look for a pig item in the mall and she'll be delighted to receive it. Her room is full of pigs in any color and sizes as well.

I hope to know what your collections are. I hope these are not enemies! lol Thanks! happy

i currently collect old Bibles and antique books. i love books as i have been a writer for several years. i love old stuff too because it is interesting to think of what hands (and what the people were like) that owned the books. i also very much like history!
i used to collect antique glasswear and other old odds and ends.

I also have a lot of books including 4 Bibles. Most books are bought by me while the Bibles are gifts from my friends and family. It's nice to know about your collections, cher913! Thank you for responding. Keep and enjoy on collecting and myLotting!thumbup

hi cindy, I have a different collection. i use to collect empty refils of the ballpens i use. I dont know why iam doing it . But i have now more than 500 of them . i just started this almost 5years ago


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

hello Arun (or Sun)! How are you? Wow, that's something else. Collecting empty refills of ballpens is my opposite, I collect ballpens that are not empty, most of those are from different places in our country and the world, usually gifts from relatives and friends who travelled abroad. I have been collecting since High School. I have around 200 of them. Thanks for your response! Have a nice day! happy

I think this is a good topic,it's nice to share things with other people. I love collecting horses,their my favorite animal and I had tons of them at one time,then i had to move, so gave them away to people I know and who i knew would enjoy them, i have different sizes and colors of them, glass ones,plastic and so on.My favorite horse i'd have to say is the Arabian though,their beautiful and powerful, free and wild.I also collect unicorns,their horses as well but with horns.


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Nice one lira23! You're the first person that I know who collects horses. Didn't you feel sad when you gave them away? sad

I love collecting pencils and souvenir spoons, and am just now starting to collect rocks for some odd reason. Little figurines are also some of my favorite collectibles, and don't even ask me about the number of stuffed animals or books I have, because I honestly couldn't tell you. :)


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Wow, you have quite a lot of collections I suppose. If you collect rocks, I collect sand. Usually from beaches that I have been. Sadly, I only have 5 because I started only 2 years ago. I put them in a glass jar and put a piece of paper inside where the place and date are written. Little figurines are my mom's collection and most of them are angels and ballerinas. happy

I've been collecting those reshaped ovalish pennies from souveneir shops.. the ones from the machines where you put like two quarters and a penny in and the penny comes back out flat with a new design.. ie: my golden gate bridge one. Also I love earrings, and other jewellery in general. I like really fun earrings. Also, some old stickers I really like. I have a few charms too, but not much else I suppose.


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Hi wunovakind! Your collections are alwo one-of-a-kind! Thanks for sharing your collections with the rest of the myLotting world! I hope you'll have more of those. lol

6. myLot reputation of 96/100. AKRao24 (2258)   ranked 688 out of 27,468 in mylot.com   4 years ago

I have collection of different varieties. First thing is Old Gramaphone Records which presently I am not persuing any more for the want of time and efforts require to get them!

My second collection pertains to ballpoint Pens. I have collected more than 2000 ball point pens without any duplicates and for this I have been awarded a Certificate from our National Book of Records by name Limca Book of Records.I am also having my name mentioned in that book. Again because of want of time and managing the whole collection isnot that easy, I have more or less stopped adding further to my existing collection, which presently I have packed and stored in the store room!!

Third one is interesting one and I like this hobby verymuch and likely to continue with it! This is collection of One Rupee Coins. I have got One rupee coins from various countries where the currency is one rupee and I have tried to collect One rupee coins from India since the first coin came into existance. Thus I have pre independant One rupee coins and post independant one rupeee coins in my Collection. I have got the first One Rupee Coin issued by King Sher Shah Suri in 1548 AH, before that there was concept of One rupee. Then after that I got One rupee coins from Princely states then, Mughul period, British Ruled territories and by East India Company. All these coins are Silver ones!

Post Independant coins are not of Silver but are with different designs from different mints.ighlight of my Coin collection is that I have got Coins of one rupee with mint errors.

For this collecion of mine which is largest in the Company The Limca Book Of Records entered my name in their Book and awarded me with Certificate !

I am really proud of my One Rupee coin Collecion which I have systematically preserved in a Album after packing each coin in coin holder along with all the details and a piece of history whenever I could manage to add !

Thanks for initiating such a nice topic of discussion I liked it! happy Mylotting!


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Wow AKRao24! You have quite a lot of collections. I am quite surprised as well that a record-holder replied to my discussion. It is such an honor! I really like it on how you describe your collections, it is as if I can really see them. Thank you very much and I am happy to know how people love and become dedicated to such hobby. And thank you for liking this topic. I actually put it in a wrong "interest", it should be in hobbies or maybe question and answers. But anyway, I am glad to sign in here in myLot about a few minutes ago and found out that there are 31 responses! I left myLot with this topic about 4AM earlier (Philippine time). Have a nice day and it's really nice to know about your collections! thumbup

8. myLot reputation of 92/100. lilcee (2107)   ranked 1,404 out of 27,468 in mylot.com   4 years ago

Hi iamcdy. I collect bells and clowns. I have more bells than I do clowns tho. My kids used to give me either a bell or a clown every Christmas. They kinda quit doing that tho. I'm running out of room in my cabinets. I keep them in some closed in cabinets with glass doors. When ever I travel anywhere or go somewhere special, I look for a bell. I like the ones that are unique and that don't look like just an ordinary bell if I can find any. I also like ones that have the name of the place on them. I put the date and who gave it to me on the inside of the bells.


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Hello to you too, lilcee! I think you gave me an idea on how to keep track of my collections. Putting the name of the person who gave it and the date it was given is really a wonderful idea. Thank you very much for letting us know about your collections! thumbup

myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Hi Mulinaad! I also never thought that it will be this interesting. I hope there are no traces of candies on your candy papers, or else the ants will like it, too. Thank you for your response! happy

I have a passion for teddy bears, I have a hugh collection of them. I have so many things in the shape of teddy bears, I have a paper towel holder shaped like a bear, salt an pepper shakers, dish towels, I have an ottoman shaped like a black bear and many many more things. If you were to come to my house you would be able to tell what I collect and what my husband collects.
My husband collects trains, he loves model railroading, and has built a mini lay out in our dining room.


myLot reputation of 81/100. iamcdy (1022)   ranked 2,621 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

That's what you call a collection, dear sudalunts! Having one item in different kinds is such a wonderful way to collect, because you don't just stay in one type. It becomes more interesting to see them all in different ways. What's good is that your husband also collects trains, which is fun for a man like him! Thanks for sharing with us your collections. Have a nice day!
