I somehow missed this thread when it was new. Hubby and I tried to collect pewter figurines years ago but we were poor and couldn't continue so we only have about 10 piece's.
I suppose books would qualify as a collection but I never really thought of them in that context. That said, I have hundreds.
We are extremely novice neumismatist's, not for lack of interest but because of affordability. We have also collected rocks and minerals for nearly 20 yrs. Hubby travels alot for work so we have an ever growing collection of shot glasses (jump started with my Dad's 20+ he passed down).
I'd have to say our most satisfying collection would be our houseplants. It's a horrible itch to have because it can never be scratched completely!
