i used to collect sooo much! b4 the move i had all punisher comics up to the year 2000... had all the first edition star wars figures, gi joe figures, star trek figures/toys... various other scifi toys/collectables... weapons, martial arts weapons, many guns, one of many israel produced guns (minus a galil, which i had access to one, a baby DE, micro uzi, and 50cal DE)... a book of autographs which i still have... all old game systems from pong to nintendo 64, including a vectrex... matchbox/hot wheel cars... sold it all minus the autograph book for the move... now i collect nothing because (1) it kind of hurts to get rid of it all (2) they just dont have the goods for collection here in australia... and if you are lucky to find something you might want for a collection, it costs about 3 times (if not more) what it would cost anywhere else and that makes it not cost effective because it would never appreciate in value anywhere but here IF it ever got about cost price... can import, but that takes away from collecting because you never know what you will get (dented boxes/cards, numbering, quality of paint/workmanship yadda yadda)
so that's bout it
