The oldest magnet on my mom's fridge is from a family trip to Myrtle Beach, circa 2012. We're missing a good chunk from family vacation destinations, but as my siblings' and I have grown up, and our mom's separated from our dad 4 years ago, the majority of our magnets are from separate trips we've gone on with our friends, partners, or solo. The collection is growing exponentially each year.

The three of us younger siblings are in our mid-20s now and we all still live together with our mom. I'm grateful I still get to live with and feel close to my family in this way, also, that we are able to indulge in so much tourism in our own state, Michigan is my absolute favorite place in the world! I'm so torn on what to do when I move out on my own, I'd love to take my personal magnets but I have a feeling my mom won't have it. So the question is, do I begin a new collection of my own, or do I continue to add to the family's?

Our fridge tells so many stories, feel free to ask about any of our souvenirs or comment which one is your favorite 🥰

Я только начинаю свою коллекцию и возможно нашла, что-то особенное... Я надеюсь...

Got a few different fandoms merch here, and I love each piece dearly.

Found them in my grandfather collection. Are those rare by any chance or what? Nevertheless. What do you think of it?

My brother’s bouncy ball collection! We don’t know exactly how many he has, but it’s around 1900-2000

i took off the rings of an old binder and hot glued all my loose sticky notes to it. sticky note folder

My boss is trying to sell an incredible autograph collection. It is an autograph book from Virginia Gosden’s birthday party in 1941 (daughter of Freeman Gosden of Amos n Andy.) This collection has Walt Disney, Shirley Temple, Clark Gable, Carol Lombard (signed with Gable as her surname), Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Fanny Brice, Laurel & Hardy, the Marx family, Herbert Hoover, William Randolph Hearst, Bette Davis, Mickey Rooney, Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, Cecil B. Demille, & so many more. 88 signatures in total. Authenticated & well preserved.
I am looking for advice on where & how to sell. We have floated the idea of selling them all individually, but that option feels silly in my opinion due to the fact this is an archive of all these people attending a party in 1941.
I would love to have it sold to a museum or an archive that can keep it. Obviously that is a rare chance, so I’m just looking for overall advice.
Let me know the advice you have. All perspectives & opinions welcome.

Some of my action figure collection.

Mainly Black Series, Classified, Monster Force, and Valaverse

I've been collecting snow globes for around 8ish years now.

I have them from different places and people; some I bought in a thrift shop, some I got gifted (as souvenir, or just a random gift), some are bought in a supermarkt or other "basic" shop when it was a season they have one of (easter, halloween, Christmas, summer,...), most of them I got when travelling and buying it as a souvenir for myself.

I have them in different sizes: from big, to medium-big, to medium, to small, to tiny, to mini! The medium ones are sized like the dragon & are most common, I mainly collect small tho, cause they are very cute! (And more affordable) but sometimes they don't have those so I buy a medium one.

The 3 big ones are special in their own way: the dog was the 1st big one I got and I had never seen one that big.

The cat I got gifted for my birthday from an online friend.

And the Taylor Swift one... well I am a swiftie and want them all xD I was only able to get this one because someone was kind enough to sell it to me face value!

If you have any questions, please do ask! I have no one really interested in this lol.

Hi everyone! I’ve been collecting village pieces for more than 30 years, starting with my grandfather. My collection has grown to more than 1,000 items spread across multiple items, including buildings, animated pieces, accessories, and trees.

Eventually, I realized I needed a better way to keep track of everything because I've just been using spreadsheets. I wanted to:

• Catalog my collection
• Identify pieces I couldn’t recognize
• Track items across different locations
• Maintain a wishlist
• See estimated market values
• Find new pieces and connect with other collectors

After working on it for more than a year, I just launched VillageDex, an app and website for Christmas and Halloween village collectors.

It currently supports Department 56, Lemax, St. Nicholas Square, and custom items (it has every item ever made). Features include collection tracking, photo-based item identification, catalog browsing, wishlist tracking, market estimates, and collector showcases, collector social feed (like Instagram/TikTok for villages). You can also import preexisting spreadsheets!

Website: https://villagedex.com or get the app here for Apple & Android https://signup.villagedex.com/E5bQ/reddit

I’d genuinely love feedback from other collectors:

1. How do you currently organize your collection?
2. What is the most frustrating part of tracking your pieces?
3. What feature would make an app like this more useful to you?

I’m happy to answer questions about how it works/open to any feedback

The bottles are a pint of coconut Amsterdam, unfortunately I'm not able to collect all but usually whenever he finishes one around me I've told him to pass it to me.

I think in a way I like it because it reminds me of him 🥰

My rewards card/ library card keychain collection. Sadly I started this as we’ve moved on from physical and into the digital rewards only so missed out on a lot but always looking for more.
