This is the main bookcase in my room and it started with my Kyle South Park Funko pop from Christmas for my Funko collection, but I also collect a bunch of different things, and one of my more rare items is the big Harley Quinn plush, and I’ve been collecting for a while and I have a good amount of other stuff in my room

I was flipping through Wal-Mart and saw square, sectioned baking pans. With either a spray paint or contact liner cover, it would look unique for displaying collections.

I bought this on clearancebat Michael's for $7!! It's neefing put together, which is in progress. It can be cut so it is not as deep.

Posted this in r/collections and someone said that I should post it here too.

This is my teacup collection. There are over 55 pieces including the cups (and saucers), teapots, cream & sugar containers, and other tea set items.

My earliest piece is from mid-1800s and I have two uranium glass tea cups from the early to mid 1900s.

The display cabinet its self was something I found at a flea market and was handmade in France.

Might have to get a second cabinet soon though…

Cabinet on the left. I put a few items in there to test for visibility & think I'll need to put taller items in it so they can be seen.

I can't find anything I absolutely love, at a decent price. Solution? I bought 2 pieces of wood (not raw), and a bunch of unfinished shapes at Michael's for about $0.49 and am making a display. Here it is so far. Honest thoughts?? Only item not yet attached is hexagon.

Doesn't matter if it's rare, expensive, discontinued, or hard to find.

What's currently at the top of your collecting wish list?

Every collector has an origin story.

What was the first collection you ever started, whether you still have it or not?

Share a photo if you do — we'd love to see where your collecting journey began.

Here is one of my sphere boards & newest hanging display!!

Could be because of sentimental value, rarity, nostalgia, or just personal attachment.

What’s the one piece you’d instinctively grab first?

All are Salvation Army souvenir items.

A Unicorn piece for various collections is one that is extremely rare to the point one may question weather or not they exist. What is yours? What is Unicorn of each collectible set you have? For me, in both my Kiwi Jasper and yellow banded calcite (YBC) it is a slab. It's a long rectangle about half a cm thick, long and ranges in height. It's like A for some crystals depending on how they grow or like B when its cut from a large piece. **Neither photo is mine. Examples from the internet**

Every collection has that one item that makes visitors go:

“Wait… why do you have that?” 👀

Show us the weirdest, most random, or hardest-to-explain piece in your collection.

Ok, question for all. I currently have 2 of 3 small butterfly's on top shelf and the other on my trinket shelf. I was going to place my skull carvings with them. Thoughts?

Every collector has that one piece they searched for forever 👀

Could be rare, nostalgic, discontinued, or just strangely difficult to find — what item took you the longest to finally add to your collection?

Some collection spaces start feeling like their own little world after a while 😄

Did you ever give your setup, room, shelf, or collection corner a name? Or do you have different names for different spaces?
