Here I encourage all of you to speak up about anything when it comes to art, hobbies, shows/movies/games you been enjoying...all is welcome! In addition to that, I'm going to pose a question to answer at the end of your comment or if you have nothing to say but want to join in and take part!
Question of the month: What do you collect? If you have multiple collections what are you most proud of? And in that collection, what is the most valuable piece of it?
Now I've hopped around so much in my life collecting things but one of the ones that has stayed the most consistent through all my years has been Pokemon Cards. As a kid I got ALL the series all the way until middle school-highschool where there was the inevitable "im too cool to collect Pokemon cards" phase. Then in my early 20's my now wife got me back into it. She hid the fact that she collected them religiously her whole life before I found out like 2 months after dating.
I think the most important card out of it has to be Lugia from the Neo Genesis set. Since my parents threw out/sold my childhood collection, my wife gave me her Lugia from her childhood to help complete my NG set and man its so precious. Sometimes I just flip to that page to feel the rush of nostalgia that card gave me as a kid.
Other collections to note but not as important: Artbooks, Figures specifically of All Might's Buff Form and Gojo, and a bunch of rare POP figures I was able to obtain through my time working at Funko.
What about you guys??

Oh nice!! Did you collect YGO around the time it first starting coming out by chance? I think Exodia is probably my most valuable set of cards from it, and a Jinzo I pulled from a pack when I was a kid. Still to this day he feels a little cheap hahaha I didn't knoww about the "Freezing" books!!! These are amazing! I actually copped a few after reading your reply haha so thanks. Anime DVDs will always be like the last physical media I purchase, its like having a manga collection but takes up a little less space lol.

HELL yeah boiiiii! My manga collection does pretty just consist of MHA and DBZ, if I had shelf space I definitely get JJK to add to it! As for Pokemon cards, I started out only wanting to collect the 90s ones but it adds up over time. So Ive been trying to make binders of dedicated things like the Trainer Supporters, Full Art Illustration series, and just pages and pages of specific Pokemon I like. Makes it a lot cheaper to collect haha The full art illustration series cards right now I think are the coolest looking so check those out if you want to collect just for the great art!

I do collect Yugioh cards but nothing pops up in my mind of "ooo". I do also collect figures. My favorite figure is probably my Nyphmeria figure by Kotobukya because HLP is my all time favorite anime. I also like to collect art books. My fav one is probably the series called "Freezing" art book. Tons of lingerie which is my fav. Also collect DVDs of my fav animes; most prominent is Fate/Grand Order: Camelot movies

Aw man Late this post, In terms of collections, I collect manga! Mainly shonen. My gf and I’s collection is getting a bit too big and we need another bookshelf 😓. Also I’ve been thinking about collecting Pokémon cards! Would you recommend based on your experience?
