jonthefox Posted 25 September 2014 Posted 25 September 2014 I've just started collecting boxed figures . I reckon i must have 20 or so now and i figured they might be worth something in a few years. Does anyone else collect anything and why do you collect them ?. Do you just like them or do you think your collection might increase in value.
ScouseFox Posted 25 September 2014 Posted 25 September 2014 i kind of collect beer mats. for no reason. just robbed one cos it looked cool once and have continued to rob cool ones ever since. got them from all over england and europe. my one from the bulldog cafe in amsterdam is my favourite i think, or a particularly cool looking metal one taken from a bar in bratislava. i collect em cos they end up having a story behind them i guess.
Bayfox Posted 25 September 2014 Posted 25 September 2014 I like shoving toys up my wives box. is that the same?
Guest Col city fan Posted 25 September 2014 Posted 25 September 2014 I collect antique pottery and have a nice collection of Clarice Cliffe, Beswick and Royal Doulton. I love the bloody stuff. It's good stuff to collect actually (if you're into collecting) because it looks good and will only appreciate in value the older it gets. I'd have never done anything like this when I was younger, considering it to be square. Now I appreciate it for what it is...delicate, beautifully created and valuable.
Raj Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 got a massive stash if old beanos from when i was young!!!..Circa 80's...Only thing i collect now is signs of ageing!!!
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 I did have a fairly extensive Sega Master System collection (about 200 boxed games, boxed controllers and boxed console) but flogged it all about a month ago. I thought I'd be sad to see it go but wasn't. For someone who doesn't really play guitar I have far too many guitars (3 electric, bass, acoustic, electric mandolin) Also 2 full drum kits, about 10 snares and a dozen cymbals - wish I had somewhere to play them
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 Roman Coins, because I have always been interested in Roman history. They look good, and go up in value. Autographs, particularly those of Western's stars. Interesting, and appreciate in value.
Fox92 Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 I have my collection of diecast models. Though it does change all the time because I buy them, keep them for a bit and sell them on. Sometimes for profit. I only keep my best ones. Literally have models that I've bought for £30 and could easily sell for £100+. Used to go to the fairs and everything, haven't been for a few years now.

Again mate (and I dont work for them), Churchgate Auctions are selling lots of Beatles memorabilia tomorrow morning. Some interesting lots.. Churchgateauctions.co.uk
purpleronnie Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 Apart from music, art is a love of mine, especially pop art, the downside is it's so expensive.
purpleronnie Posted 26 September 2014 Posted 26 September 2014 Nope, seems a bit pointless. what's pointless? Music, Art? Besides how can collecting be pointless if you enjoy it?
Fox92 Posted 27 September 2014 Posted 27 September 2014 Nope, seems a bit pointless. Everyone's got to have a hobby...
Buzzell Posted 27 September 2014 Posted 27 September 2014 I have a collection of copper, steal, general scrap metal that I'm looking to add to before going scrap yard. I need the monies.
ADK Posted 27 September 2014 Posted 27 September 2014 what's pointless? Music, Art? Besides how can collecting be pointless if you enjoy it? I'd rather have something useful like a car, a house or clothes than spend money on an art collection.

Unabomber Posted 27 September 2014 Posted 27 September 2014 I kinda collect bottle caps from good beers.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 27 September 2014 Posted 27 September 2014 I always saved/collected ticked from every football match I went to but now they're Ll on digital cards it's has come to an end.
Rincewind Posted 28 September 2014 Posted 28 September 2014 Just put Antiques Roadshow on and they have a subuteo set.Not great condition but it has two footballs and they have valued it at from £1500. I'm sure I saw a set in a charity shop a little while ago.

Rincewind Posted 28 September 2014 Posted 28 September 2014 Which charity shop was that ken?. Cant remember. I look in so many. May have been the one on Granby Street but it may have been sold by now.
