Do you collect anything?

I have recently restarted collecting first edition books. Not rare books or high dollar value ones, just ones I find in second hand stores that catch my eye.

Among them I've got a first edition of Sammy Davis Junior's autobiography that may or may not be worth money.

Books, I have lots and lots of books. Mostly because I enjoy reading to a highly disgusting degree, but I also collect old and rare books (not often now, but when I can).

Louis Wain paintings, pictures, etc.

Comic books, mostly Nightcrawler related. Beasts of Burden. Don't have that many.

Nail polish, lots of it. My psychosis for books is almost matched by my love of nail polish. Mostly Zoya, Julep, and Deborah Lippmann (because they are significantly less toxic than other brands). Julep even has what is basically a monthly club, like a book club. So... nail polish fumes explain a lot about me. :crazy2:
 
I used to collect comics as a kid. I still have them and some of them are worth something. I do also occasionally collect game consoles.
