What do you collect?

As some of you may know, Chris Wilson, one of the founders of PoE is an avid MTG collector. I guess all that PoE money will come to good use.


I collect:

* High quality scientific books. And I mean real scientific books, not books for the layman. I got quite a stock of them, mostly subfields of mathematics and physics. I have read almost all of them and made summaries of these. It is just amazing to see them all displayed on my shelves. Regular books I hardly collect as I have a public library nearby.

* Comics. Mostly European (read French and Belgian) but I got some American as well. I don't collect everything as some youtubers do. The writing has to be good, the story captivating and intriguing, before I consider purchasing it. I am also a huge sucker of great artstyle. My favourite series overall is Thorgal.

* Numismatic precious metal coins. I make most of my purchases from the Perth Mint, Royal Mint (UK), official US Mint, Munze Osterreich and the Ukranian Mint. Hardly purchase anything from the Canadian Mint as they tend to have milkspotting. Got some African coins in my collection as well. Also got bullion as a hedge to some of my financial products.

* Used to have quite a pc game collection but I sold off the majority. As games are not backwards compatible with newer operating systems, I decided to buy most of my games on GOG now. Some claim pc games will all be digital in 2022.

* My grandpa gave me his stamp collection but I have never really continued it up to this point.

* Collect virtual items in free online games. Since 2013 that means just PoE. Steadily growing my Alt Art and Foiled Relic collection, both in Standard and Hardcore.





What do you collect and what collections are you really proud of? Maybe I hear of something I wasn't aware of.

I collect mineral samples, gemstones, meteorites and fossils.

I also have a decent collection of american coins with some dating back to the mid 1800's.

But mostly I'm a rockhound. :)

Thanks for contributing!

I got a few minerals and fossils myself. But they are stored in some box but don't know where. (Lost my inventory list of all my boxes since I moved).

Did you find some of your stones yourself?

What sites can you recommend for people interested in purchasing some?
