Wikipedia-Article "Collecting"
The hobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest of the collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively displayed.
Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general interest, for example 19th Century postage stamps, milk bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian harnesses and tack. Others prefer to keep a more general collection, accumulating any or all Star Trek merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world.
Some collections are capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible item in the collection (e.g., a copy of every book by Agatha Christie). Collectors who specifically try to assemble complete collections in this way are sometimes called "completists". Upon completing a particular collection, they may stop collecting, expand the collection to include related items, or begin an entirely new collection.
The most popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers that trade in the items being collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers started as collectors themselves, then turned their hobby into a profession.
There are some limitations on collecting, however. Someone who has the financial means to collect stamps might not be able to collect sports-cars, for example.
Items and subjects that are popular in collecting include:
- Animals
- Butterflies
- Cats
- Dogs
- Eggs (Oology)
- Fossils
- Model Horses (Breyer, Peter Stone, North Light, Hagen-Renaker, Royal Worcester, etc)
- Insects
- Seashells (Conchology)
- Skulls and Skeletons (see Maceration)
- Antiques
- Art
- Autographs
- Automobile license plates (only legal in places where the plates are not government property)
- Books, often by genre (see also bibliophilia)
- Bottles (usually a particular type, such as beer or cola)
- Boy Scout and Girl Guide memorabilia
- Brand articles
- Candles
- Cigarette Cards
- Coasters
- Coins - Numismatics and Token coins
- Comic books
- Computers (especially Vintage computers)
- Crystals
- Currency (Notaphily) - paper currency collecting
- Dolls
- Figurines
- Games
- Keyrings
- Live Music Recordings - e.g. Grateful Dead/Phish/other bands live performances
- Lottery tickets (lotology)
- Lunchboxes
- Matchbooks
- Memorabilia
- Militaria
- Scale models
- Paperweights
- Patches and badges (Scutelliphily)
- Phone-cards
- Pornography
- Postcards
- Records
- Refrigerator magnets
- Rocks
- Scripophily Collecting Stock Certificates
- Silver
- Souvenirs
- Stamps (Philately)
- Stickers
- Tea bags
- Teapots
- Teddy bears
- Thimbles
- Trading cards
- Sports cards
- Non-sports cards
- Digital collectibles
- Video games
One alternative to collecting physical objects is collecting experiences of a particular kind. Examples include collecting through observation (especially popular for transportation, e.g. train spotting, aircraft spotting, metrophiles, bus spotting; see also I-Spy), bird-watching, and systematically visiting states, countries, continents, national parks, etc.
