Renaissance era weapons (swords, polearms and guns) and armor, mostly European, but with a couple of notable Japanese pieces 8)

I also have quite a few modern weapon reproductions and we make them too :wink:

I still have about a hundred Dragons, but don't actively look anymore. :l

Still have my coin collection from 30+ years ago that must be getting more valuable (I hope) :?

Very nice!!

I have Samurai swords, Ninja swords, Taichi swords, Bokens, Spring loaded Baton, Grappling Hook, Hundreds of Shurikens, Blow guns, Bo's, Tonfa's, Nun-chucks, and Broad Sword Swords! I have everything I would need if I wanted to be a Samurai or Ninja... I'm pretty sure I didn't list everything!!! Yep I have the nifty ninja stars you throw on the ground to slow people down if they are after you...


I never got any Renaissance/Medieval weapons before! Do you have a website?

Yep the coins are going up especially if they are silver and gold...

I'm not currently collecting anything besides production artwork, but in the past I've collected older movie star signed photos, comic books, basketball cards, some baseball cards and U.S. coins/stamps.

(Reposting):

Some of my non-cel/sketch collectibles:

Anime scripts, two autographed cards and a Confederate paper bill:

Mostly Older Movie Star Autographed Signed Photos (I prefer Black&White photos because they usually age much slower than color photos. They also discolor much less):

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I collect the Sonic the Hedgehog comic books made by Archies comics - I started collecting those when I was 8 years old! My collection is almost complete, missing a couple from the first year and some of the recent issues. I also collect graphic t-shirts - usually ones that are fitted or made for a girl. My favorite place to get them is threadless.com. Anyone can send in a design, people vote on them, then the favorites get printed. They are really unique and fun. Of course cel collecting is the greatest thrill of all! :rollin

I never would have guessed that was Mifune's signature, it's crazy! You've got an impressive collection there, Keropi, but this one stood out for me because he's one of my favourite actors.

Cenbe's recent thread about collections of non-cel anime items [31st Oct '07] touched on this subject and many of us participated.

To add to that, my largest collections are Music [CD/Vinyl] of which I have over 2000 and Movies [DVD/VHS]. At a guess I have around 4000 of those.
I also collect Tshirts, mostly band shirts, and have 120.

I collect many things....which is about the best description :)

let's see-my biggest next to cels would be comic/anime figures/statues. I prefer polystone/cast resin to pvc, and between my husband and I we have a sizeable collection. Every holiday and birthday new ones join the horde!

I also collection the lennox disney villians statues, and a little into the disney classics statues.

Hmmm...anime figure pins, beanie babies, starbucks barista bears, pocket dragons, glass octopi from our travels...I have a bad tendency to be distracted by the cute and shiney
