Collectibles: Everyone Has Something

Do you have any collections?

Collections are something everyone has. Some hide theirs, and others show them off. Do you show yours off? Or do you collect them in private and hope no one finds out? Me? I show my collections off. If I hide them, then what’s the point in collecting?

I really only collect two things. I’d love to collect more, but I don’t have anywhere to put stuff. I also don’t think there’s much else I’d like to collect anyway.

The first thing I collect is comic books. Old comics, new comics, I collect them all. I don’t actively hunt down certain issues of comics, but every comic I buy, I read, and then I store it away in a box. I haven’t counted how many I have, but it has to be about 1,000 comic books by now.

Most of my comic books are Marvel, but I also have several DC and independent comics. Some of the independent comics are just as good, if not better than Marvel or DC. If I see something I’m interested in, I’ll buy it. A good story is a good story, regardless of where it comes from.

The second thing I collect is Funkos. I love Funkos, and I have since I started buying them. I easily have a few hundred of them by now, and I have them sitting on shelves where people can see them. Which ones do I have? There are way too many to list, but the majority of them are Marvel related.

I do have several Funkos that have nothing to do with Marvel, too. I have a few Stranger Things Funkos, Silicon Valley, Happy Days, and even a few Metallica Funkos. I have no intention of ending my collection of Funkos. There’s always new ones coming out, and if there’s one I like, I’ll buy it.

There’s nothing wrong with collecting things. Some people might call it weird. Some people might hate it. But at the end of the day, if it makes you happy, then that’s all that matters. Collections bring people joy. So collect on!
