do you collect any thing?
I collect action figures and comic books
-
I've tryed but nothing has stuck :-\ :P I tryed marbles, coins, action figures and prob a couple more i can't remember :D
-
Pipes.
-
Right now I'm collecting dust.
-
CCGs:
Pokemon
Megaman NT
Teen Titans
Acceleracers
Sonic X
In my garage:
Old computers
-
anything halo related.
-
Decks of normal playing cards. I have well over 20.
-
State quarters...I almost have em all!
-
Sports Cards, normal 54 card decks(yes, I count the jokers.)
-
I collect the cards from Star Trek: Customizable Card Game. I also played, but haven't in a long time since everyone who played with me has moved away. Now I'm stuck simply collecting, or playing games with my brother from a couple of my decks (he doesn't have his own cards, but knows the rules well enough to play).
I also collect clarinet solos (and perform the ones I collect).

Is this game fun? I didn't know there was a Star Trek CCG.

Oh yes, very fun. Star Trek: CCG is actually my favorite card game ever. There have actually been two card games based on Star Trek (and I played them both). One was Star Trek: The Card Game, which was based solely on the original series. It was basically played by drawing portions of a particular episode and re-creating the "feel" of an original series episode, though you, of course, would not be re-creating the episode exactly. It was pretty fun to play, but it didn't have the charm of the Star Trek: CCG.
The other game is Star Trek: Customizable Card Game (or ST:CCG). This also tried to capture the feel of a Star Trek episode, but in a different way. Also, this game encompassed all of Star Trek canon (beginning with The Next Generation, but eventually expanding to include Deep Space Nine, Voyager, The Original Series, the motion pictures, and Star Trek: Enterprise). Basically, you and your opponent played with six missions, and you seeded each other's missions with dilemmas (which were meant to hamper your progress in completing missions) -- so this game did require a bit of set-up. But you could choose which affiliation you played (starting with the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans -- but eventually expanding to include most, if not all, the major races seen in Star Trek). Or you could mix affiliation with the use of a treaty. Basically, each mission had requirements for completing them (usually skills on each personnel card), and you had to have those abilities to complete the mission. In the course of completing missions you would encounter dilemmas or possibly unearth artifacts). Whoever scored 100 points was the winner. But eventually, as the game expanded, it also included alternate methods for victory. It got very complicated, but this was also the appeal to me. I never got bored playing the game. There were constantly new icons to use, new rules to incorporate, and other things. I loved that part of it, but the average player wanted it simpler. So Decipher (the creators of the game) made a Second Edition to the card game and kept it simpler. I always preferred the First Edition because it was more complex.
-
Decipher...what other game do they make that is pretty big...I have definitely heard that before.
-
oh...they made LotR CCG...can't believe I had to look that up haha

I used to collect baseball cards, but then I realized that I don't really like baseball.
Marbles are my thing, as you can see from my avatar. That one is a Lemonade Oxblood Corkscrew made by the Akro Agate company. It's kind of an expensive hobby, so I mostly look for really good deals in junk/antique stores. (The one in my avatar I paid $3 for, and I could easily sell it for $30 on eBay.)
@Bap7 - If you've still got any of your marbles, I'd love to see them. Who knows, you might have some gems.
-
What makes a marble so expensive? I didn't know that marbles were even collectible!

Are you suggesting that he's lost his marbles?

The only non-game things I collect are soda-related. I have a small collection of root beer bottles (and other related sodas, like sarsaparilla and birch beer) showing some weird brands I've drunk over the years, but the star is my collection of Dr Pepper clones. Many grocery stores have generic-brand sodas, and many of those have some Dr Pepper knockoff with a hilariously terrible name. My favorites in the collection are Giant Eagle's "Dr. Aahh", Piggly Wiggly's "Mr. PIG", Kalil's "Dr. Good Guy", and the undisputed star: a soda simply titled "Doctor."

Well, it's mostly the really old ones are very collectible (though there are exceptions). Anything made pre-1930 has a chance of being collectible. Check out this awesome handmade marble on eBay:

Man I'd love to find one of those in a junk store $20. That'd be the find of a lifetime.

dr thunder ftw! :)
and thats one crazy marble.
-

Yes, they did. They always made the Star Wars: CCG (it was kind of their companion game to the Star Trek: CCG), and I believe they also made Young Jedi (but don't quote me on that one).
-
coins, coins, and more coins!!!!!!
working on 6th set of state quarters
(Stupid add of the 6 Taritories)
a penny from each mint from every year going back to 1909
(missing the sanfran mint ONLY MINTED 484 THOUSAND)..Feel free to say "I HAVE ONE!!!!"
(Yes i have the Steel ones too)

Tie-dye t-shirts. I try to get one when I go on vacations...
I have:
2 from VA beach
1 from Seaside heights
1 from myrtle beach
1 from wildwood, NJ
a couple that I know were bought on vacation, but don't have the name so I dont remember.
So, I totally am always looking for screen-printed tie-dye shirts from all over the country! :)

676 bucks?!?!?! WOW! How big are these? just like a couple cm's in diameter? Are some of them made by like expensive material or all they all made of marble?
-
What makes that one so expensive is the fact that it is handmade, and a rare one at that. The bands of gold flecks (called lutz) are a highly desirable and uncommon feature. Not to mention that the marble is in awesome condition considering that it was made between 1870 and 1910 (in Germany).
There's nothing special about this one's size; it's only 5/8" (16mm) in diameter which is your average marble size. There do exist handmade marbles that are gigantic (up to around 2 1/2"), but they are almost never in great condition and aren't usually in rare designs.
And there's nothing special about the material either, they're just glass.

My largest non-redemption collection is Star Wars Miniatures. (I have them all but 8, they put a new set out every 3 months so the last 2 sets I haven't quite finished yet.)
My smaller collections are connected to memories which make them extremely valuable to me.
Ken Griffey Jr. Collection:
well over 100 different cards of him including ALL of his rookies and 1 minor league card.
Memorbilia is about 20 pieces strong (including a batting practice HR ball, game-worn jersey card, game-used piece of bat) with the centerpiece being an autographed jersey.
Mini-bats and shot glasses
from all the Major League Baseball parks that I've been too (7 so far).
UNC-Chapel Hill (Carolina) Coke cans or bottle from all of their championships (except for 1957--but I don't think they made one that year.) Also, I have the newspapers too.
Reds Bobbleheads released during the time that I lived there.
A healthy Zelda Video Game collection
That's all I can think of for now.
-
Anachronism...good game, awesome art
Dinosaur King...STAY AWAY from this game
SWTCG, cool game.

Some would say that no video game collection is healthy.

That is quite the collection! The Griffey Jr. stuff is sweet! The Chapel Hill (garbage) is despicable! haha...I happen to adamantly hate everything UNC.

Some would say Christianity isn't healthy. Doesn't make 'em right. ;)

I used to collect a ton of other cards. I did baseball, football, ALL the Star Wars trading card games (including SWCCG, Young Jedi, Jedi Knights, etc), Star Trek CCG, Lord of the Rings CCG, Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, and a few others. I still play Magic sometimes, but never really collected, and I played WoW TCG too, but never collected it much. I'm also trying out Fight Klub, decipher's new game, and it's pretty fun, but since I don't have the money, collecting is pretty much out of the question right now.
I also collect coins and other types of money, tried stamps, and I guess you could say I collect books and dvds too. I'm all about hobbies, which is why my website is philsnextkick.com.
Oh, and for you guys who still like Star Trek CCG, I'm selling all my cards. Thought you might like to know...
-
My buddy collects everything, especially if it's old. Some things I can think of off the top of my head:
- license plates
- old bottles
- old vehicles
- matchbox cars
- Hot Wheels cars
- coins
- old refrigerators
- old mail order catalogs
- old fishing equipment and tackle
- etc.
Their house is a cross between a museum and mausoleum. :laugh:

Are you a M's fan? I am a HUGE M's fan ;D :o And Griffey is one of my all time fav's :-* LOL!
@jtay, I will check ;D
I also tryed collecting Baseball cards but never seperated the HUNDREDS I have :angel: I really do have a lot of Baseball cards though 8) Now that I'm into Redemption I am going to start collecting those :laugh:
-
Sorry, no, not a M's fan. I watched a lot of their games when Griffey was younger, but I tend to favor the Reds after living there for several years.

I've heard about Fight Klub, but haven't been able to try it out yet. But I sent you a PM regarding your ST:CCG cards.

I'm not an M's fan either, but I was a big fan of Mark Langston. I collected his stuff for a while.
I didn't include sports cards in general since I sold most of them at the right time. I got $125 for my Mark McGuire rookie, $100 for my Rickey Henderson rookie, and I got over $200 for my USFL cards. I only kept a few pages of cards in a binder:
a bunch of Roberto Clemente cards
Willie Mays rookie
Rod Carew rookie
Jim Rice rookie
Carlton Fisk Rookie
Larry Bird rookie
1963 Pete Rose coin

anybody collect transformers?
-
I played Star Trek CCG (first edition) and loved it. I actually had a pretty sick combo that let me download my entire Romulan deck as soon as my opponent attempted a mission.
I collect guitars, cigars, pipes, books, and random instruments.
-
I collect nothing. ;)
-
I collected basketball cards for several years. Collection is probably around 12,000 cards.
-
I used to collect both Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards before I found Redemption. This is all I collect now.
-
No surprise to anyone who knows me, but I collect Dragon Dice. I actually worked for SFR for a while. And as much as I love cards and Redemption, there's nothing like the feel of a bunch of dice in your hand.
Actually, I collect dice of all kinds. CDG dice, RPG dice, unusual dice, dice games, even some casino dice. In case you haven't guessed, I like dice.
(I also have some Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh cards, but I'm not a serious collector of those. I just have them to play my kids.)
-
I used to collect Yugioh cards, but whenever I played I used my friends deck. I recently gave some of my cards to my cousin.
-

I still have my 1988 Bowman's Best complete set (with a Griffy Jr. Rookie card) and my 1992 Derek Jeter rookie card (which is in a glass card case as a paperweight on my desk).
