What's In Your Collection?

Monday March 24, 2008
I am no longer surprised at collectors and what they actually collect. I could have a thousand categories on this site and still be missing something. But I thought it would be fun to find out just what most people collect -- and see if it fits into the broad categories created in this poll.

Take the poll and if I didn't put your category down, leave a comment and let me know!

Are you looking to sell or for insurance purposes? It sounds like you have some unusual pieces, so you would definitely want to have someone who specializes in toys look at it.
What part of the country are you located in?

Couldn’t really take part in the poll because it would only let me select one and I collect at least a few of the catagories (Holiday, Kitchen, some toys).
