Advantages: You can earn a lot of money if you sell your collections!, Very curious, You can discover a lot of things you didn't know

Disadvantages: A bit expensive, It takes space...

Some weeks ago I read an opinion about collecting phonecards and I got surprised by reading the comments of some Dooyoo members which didn’t know that there are people who collect phonecards.
In this opinion I wuold like to show you some strange collections which perhaps you don’t know.
Some of them are followed by my father, so I can assure you that they really exist.
So, which objects are collectable?

PHONECARDS
from all over the planet. There is a difference (of price, obviously!) between “uncut” and used cards.

LOTTERY TICKETS
There are some catalogues showing the varieties and the respective prices.

TICKETS in general (of concerts, stadiums, etc.)

AUTOGRAPHS of the best-known people

POSTCARDS in general

STAMPS
It’s a huge collection, I don’t follow it.

CANS
Beer, Coke, and many others...

BOTTLES
But only some special bottles, such as Coke bottles made of glass

CAPS
Of every type of bottles

SACHETS OF SUGAR
This collection is not yet very popular, but I think it’s very intersting (because it’s very unusual!)

ADHESIVES, STICKERS
Of every type

PICTURE CARDS

COINS AND NOTES
From all over the world

TINS
For biscuits or other objects

SURPRISES
I don’t know if in England they exist, but in Italy and in other countries you can find some small puppets in chocolate eggs. (They are produced by Kinder, do you know?).

ACTION FIGURES
Of films and cartoons

MC DONALDS TOYS
Representing the Mc Donald family or the characters of some Walt Disney's films.


So, this is only an example, but if you visit some flea markets, you will find these and many other “strange collections”.
It is fun collecting some of these things, but don’t think it’s easy! The collector soon bec
omes a maniac.
When I started collecting phonecards my mother said “Ah! It can be done, this hobby doesn’t need big spaces!”. Well, think about what happens when you have some albums full of hundreds of cards...
