Malina | 1838 comments I collect skulls (not real ones!), I also have a collection of driftwood and interesting pebbles and lastly I have a collection of small vinyl figurines that are very odd.
I love photography and taking pictures, drive my kids crazy when we're on vacation :)

Donald Scott (writeondon) | 87 comments Have been collecting autographs of favorite celebrities (almost actors exclusively), off and on, since I was 14.

Patrick Gallagher | 48 comments Isobel good luck with the painting I wish I had some talent in that direction but sadly not of all the things i expected may be collected Malina skulls was not among them glad to hear not real ones though I was surprised to find that there are collections of real ones hopefully for scientific research as I write this my wife reminds that she has a collection of thimbles so I look it up and find the name for a collector of these is a digitabulist Donald while looking at the list I see the name for a collector of autographs is a philographist I would love to hear of any other examples of the wonderful variety of things collected

maria1836 (lilbittx) I love auctions, flea markets and junk! I re-do and repurpose things... I love playing with paint, scrapers, sandpaper, baubles and things...

I have a small collection of Superman stuff, have a collection of magnetic bookmarks from giftrenz (love those). Used to collect movies but got out of that.

Patrick Gallagher | 48 comments Erin Ive not seen a name for collectors of superman things but I believe a collector of fridge magnets is a memomagnetist not sure if that counts but maybe Its close enough my daughter has a collection of dolls and I see from the list the name for that is a plangonologist
