This is a question My Collection

Do you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?

I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.

What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

Aaah, one I can actually answer...
My family seem to either not have something at all, or have it in abundance. Take books. They line every room. They trip you up on the stairs. They fall on you when you walk in the front room. I think we have more than the British library. Then recently, we started with DVDs. Last count 200+, probably nearer 300 now. I also have vast numbers of Airfix kits and model railway things from when I was slightly smaller (and possibly nerdier).
Outside, my Dad and me collect vintage machinery-old barn engines, 1960's mopeds, 3 battery trucks and even a railway engine.
As if that wasn't enough, when my older Brother died, we wound up with a large collection of manga books/DVDs/action figures in the loft. I honestly didn't know so much existed.
