Wow, that's nuts! How did you ever get started in collecting them? I thought my aunt was nuts for having like 400 Lucy Riggs ceramic bears!

I collect (or rather used to before kids) GWTW memorabilia. I started out collecting reproduction B&W prints of scenes from the movie. First original piece I purchased was a B&W still print of Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable - only 120 prints were made for magazine publication only. The biggest (and most expensive) piece I have is an original movie poster from 1954 with a deep purple background - it is my most favorite piece because it's so different.

I used to collect beanie babies but they are now bagged and boxed and put away. For a time, we collected 1/24 scale Nascar cars - something the whole family enjoyed collecting.

But now, like Nicole, I collect dust

I collect Swarovski crystals, the figurines & jewellery.

It's so interesting to see what everyone collects. I really don't collect anything. I have so many things to dust already, I don't need any more. I've often thought it would be fun, but I need the money for redecorating and I just don't know where I would put anything else.

I used to collect unicorns but lost most of those over time then the rest during a breakup. I would love to start collecting Maryilyn Monroe memoribilia & Celtic things but for now the kids come first so its dolphins for one daughter, fairies for the other & Racing stuff for one of my sons. The other son collects music & "goth" stuff.

I used to collect beanie babies, too!!!!!!! But like you, they are all boxed up. I figure they'll be worth something one day! Kinda how the original barbies are worth so much now, maybe beanie babies will be worth a lot one day.

One of my friends got me into it! She actually sold all her stuff, but I still have tons. I'm actually going to go through it soon and sell duplicate sets on eBay. I have so much stuff in my parent's attic!
