Do you collect anything?

I don't really "collect" anything per se. For example, while I have a video game collection spanning 20 years that consists of hundreds (I honestly haven't counted them in ages) of games, I never purchased any of them for the sake of collection - they were all bought and played for at least some length of time before being entombed. I also have a fairly large collection of fencing foils, but again this is simply because the sport essentially requires it. I have 3 dry foils (dry meaning non-electrically scored) for different purposes. One is fairly stiff and is my general use foil. One has a very flexible blade that I use to practice flicks, and then I have a stiff foil using a french grip versus a pistol style grip. I have a total of 10 different electric foils as well, again for different purposes. For any given competition, I'll probably bring five of them, simply because I seem to have a propensity to break them regularly in competition.

You'd be well off in a nuclear apocalypse then, wouldn't you? You'd already have some caps...

Music + Instruments
9 guitars (2 Acustic, 2 Electric Acustic, 2 Bass, 3 Electric.)
Music wise I have alot. Most is not stored digitally so I really don't have much in the way of cataloging, as it was inherited from father and grandfathers

I collect coins. I have a full collection of original Euro coins, even the Finnish 1+2 cent, which have been taken out of circulation. I have a load of commemorative euro coins. I think I have 10 of the commemorative US quarters (the one per state ones). I have tonnes of coins from European countries from before the Euro. I have a few minted coins.
I might upload a picture if I can find one.

EDIT: by original Euro coins, I mean from before the EU expansions.

I collect cd's. I like having full cd racks because I believe music collections define ones character. The more cd's I have, the more my collection says about me.

Usual regular geeky stuff. Games, books, comics, anime starting a manga collection. Far too much stuff to be healthy.

I collect books (I like vintage), currency from different countries I've been too and vintage American currency. I also love watches and pens. The last two are my more expensive collections. I would probably be deemed crazy just off how much I've spent on a single pen or watch.
