What Did/Do You Collect ???

When you were a Kid/Or now.

Used to collect empty Cigarette Packets, went rooting in waste bins for them back then.

I try to collect money, but I keep spending it!

Panini stickers back in the day along with WWF stickers.

I was one that collected the panini stickers for the football when I was a kid.

I also used to collect the Hard Rock Cafe pin badges from the ones I have been to.

You could say I collect I.T equipment as my home is full of this shite, I seriously need to part with some stuff and throw it out!

Used to collect Pogs at one time when I was a kid and the crowns of beer as well.

Used to collect empty beer bottles when i was at college, then I tidied up.

Used to collect the tops off smarties when they had letters on, had them all except w. Also collected toys out of kinder eggs and football stickers as well.

I remember seeing the letters imprinted on the caps of the Smarties tubes and always wondered why they were there.

I presume they just simply spelt Smarties?

Edit: then again you said you never had letter W.

Do you know what the letters were supposed to spell?

I'm guessing the alphabet, or in a cruel twist of fate the alphabet minus the letter w meaning my collection was omplete.

Did you not just turn the m upside down?

I used to collect Pogs, football stickers and them big head footballers. I think they're called soccer starz these days.

These ones

MAD and Cracked magazines. I have some now that are over 20 years old.

Football cards from Shoot magazine. Marvel comics from the sixties ( which would be worth a fortune nowadays.)

Tazos

I remember my nan used to collect focus points out of embassy packs.

Kensitas coupons -you needed about 50million to buy a transistor radio.
Younger readers won't have a clue what I'm talking about - but the greybeards will remember them

Anyone remember Green Shield stamps?

Yes. I can still taste them.
Collected footy progs for a long time but ran out of space.
Still collect BWFC memorabilia.
PG Tips cards.
The tops off ACDO pkts. Collect so many and you could send off for a free gift.
