Just random football memorabilia. Pretty pointless really as it just goes in to a box, in to the loft and gathers dust. Always planned to convert the garage at the bottom of the garden in to a man cave / bar and display it all in there - just never got around to doing it.

If only there was a museum of Charlton where people could donate such items : - )
I collect old metal signs relating to motoring (Castrol, Shell etc), oil cans and stuff like that. I've got a fairly big garage at the end of the garden and display them in there with my old car.
I've also got a fairly big collection of old Charlton stuff which I'm the process of sorting out and getting around to displaying.

Charlton Life threads. I print them out and store them in the attic so I can then re-read them when I'm old and grey and stuck in an old peoples home somewhere. Should keep me entertained for a while.
Leads and plugs/transformers (why do they all have a slightly different charge rate?) with USB sockets. Soon it will be impossible to actually get in the house.

Dachshund related items, me and the missus are obsessed with them, all cards etc we get from people feature them, have dachshund doorstops, bookends, figurines, door mat, soap, draught excluder, bottle opener, mugs, bedding, slippers, stuffed toys, even a dachshund themed olive oil bottle
I collect WW2 bits and pieces, I love studying Military History and have a nice collection of various original pieces including deactivated weapons, grenades,fighting knives, and hundreds of other interesting artefacts. I also have a few items from WW1 including a beautiful 1916 Luger. I have just bought this little fella a 1943 dated Lee Enfield Mk4, attached, it has 6 notches on the stock (you make your mind up what they are for) before it was converted as a drill purpose weapon in the early '60's. I could bore anyone for ages about my collection. ;o)
As an MA instructor, I have a substantial collection (approx 12) of original Samurai Swords one dating back to 1550, I also have original Samurai clothing, hats and even a smoking pipe from circa 1800. Antiques and collectables are a great way to invest money.

Not by choice - odd socks. Give the missing socks six months to turn up, chuck out the accumulated odd socks and then start all over again. Must be an analogy to supporting Charlton in there somewhere, but in the meantime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ-Z2aq-UR8

I collect street Art based Artwork. Sadly had to sell most of my Banksy works early on to clear uni debts, but I still have a couple of his prints left... luckily I got in early though as they are well out of my league now
Avid collector, books, football shirts, coins and bloody programs, had thousands of them in my time now safely given away!
I still have 12 signed and framed Charlton shirts plus over 20 more in a box to be framed. Because of my compulsive nature I would of framed the rest if my money had not run out. I had nowhere to hang them all at the time either, it was just part of this urge to own stuff that is in a set. If I totted up the money I had spent over the years on Time Life book collections, programs, videos... I would probably still have a pot to piss in!
BTW, was going to donate the shirts to the museum... that's reminded me.
New £5 notes being bought for £400-800 dependent on numbers PER NOTE..
Yeah, I saw that. But didn't understand it. Queenie gets the first one, the BoE keep some for their museum and offer the really low serial numbers and other "interesting" combos to staff. With one million notes (minus one) having the prefix AA01, there is surely no added value to any currently in circulation? Bonkers.
Which leads me on to useless fact of the day. Unbeknown to many there are actually £1mn and £100mn BoE notes. They are called "Giants" and "Titans". They never see the light of day, staying within the Bank. They are used for some internal accounting function. (Possibly to back the note issues of the Scottish & Northern Irish banks?)

Have you considered buying a dachshund?
Both of us work full time 9-5 and they are the neediest bloody things in the world, you leave them alone for an hour or so and they start yapping and howling non-stop. They are also stubborn as hell and notoriously hard to house train, but yes it's something we will do eventually (we'll get 2, a normal sized one called Frank and a miniature called Chip, obviously)
Comments
I have a modest 3500 + collection.

I've also got a fairly big collection of old Charlton stuff which I'm the process of sorting out and getting around to displaying.
