I was going through my little calculator collection, taking out all of the batteries so that I can pack this crap into a box, so I took a picture of some of them to take stock of what would be in the box. I started collecting them about 20 years ago when I went back to school for a bit and got my first graphing calculator. I thought it was so cool because I had a handheld, programmable device and it was super handy at work. Thereafter I would buy a calculator or old computer once in a while. No doubt, it's a lovely collection but it's something that I've enjoyed collecting and I still think pocket computers and graphing calculators are awesome. What kind of crap do you guys collect?

I have bits of collections that I was into as a kid. I kept some baseball cards, coins, and autographs from sports men. I wish I still had the drive to collect something, but we also bought a small house so we’d be less tempted to have more stuff. I like your calculators, op.

It sounds like a joke but for me it's illnesses. Every few months some health problem comes up and it turns out that I either had an underlying problem get bad enough to notice or it's a new one wanting it's time to shine. But also I have a fever for late 80s and early 90s audio rack units, especially ones that I considered not great or straight up bad. I love using them to gently caress with and artefact sounds and music, because I view it as giving them a chance to shine and offer what they can in ways that weren't expected. Also Pokemon cards because apparently I don't like getting laid.

My brother collects Jerseys/Jumpers/Shirts from obscure sports teams. I have helped his collection by getting him the Jerseys of local sports teams from places I have visited/lived. Such as A rugby top from a local Chengdu team, the jersey of the soccer team from Gyeongnam, and the Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team jersey among others.

Musical instruments. Also have a fat stack of old electronics that I'm either going to fix or scrap for parts eventually, when I'm not too busy being a lazy fucker

Lotta masks. I've got another dozen or so, but they're packed for moving. Also earrings and these guys occupy a space in my office.  There's a cute little Japanese shop in Burbank that friends and I kept grabbing them at. In the yesteryear.

We didn't go in, it was $3 entry. For me, I collect musical instruments, but haven't bought anything new in like 10 years, desires the tongue drum I bought for my 7 year old boy, who's definitely going on a very musical path already. Now I just collect incorrect parts for a 2000 VW Jetta ☹️

As a child I used to collect shoehorns. I think it's because I was an only child of a single mother and childcare is expensive. so she had to take me everywhere. The shoe stores were the worst. No other kids around, nothing to play with or read, and I guess at one point I picked up a shoehorn and started fiddling with it, so my mom asked if I could keep it and that became the thing. She shopped for shoes, I got a shoehorn to take home. All of them were basically the same, of course, but they were different colours, and that was enough. I started to look forward to the stupid things. These disposable shoehorns were my reward for sitting quietly and not complaining during the shopping trip. I don't think I realized how little money we had back in those days. Now I collect miniature arcade machines
