1. Autographed first editions.

I’ve got a shelf full of them. Harlan Ellison, mostly.

I’ve got a first edition of “Lost Moon” autographed by Fred Haise.

2. Death metal concert shirts

I have a bunch but not nearly as many as the number of concerts I've been to.

Also have probably lost more to damage and moving than I actually have right now. But I've been going to (mostly metal but plenty of others too) shows since 1981. I didn't really start buying shirts until death metal came along in the later 80s though.

My shirt collection does match up fairly well with my vinyl record collection.

3. Several things ....

used to:
Rocks & Minerals - including trips to areas to collect.

Albums, and Sci Fi books. When I had to move to a much smaller place I got rid of 200 of each of these categories.

Still do:
Yarn. I'm barely at moderate speed for crocheting & kitting. It's also 3rd in line as far as Creative Endeavors go. I still have around 35+ skeins I'v bought over 18 years. It sounds like alot but that is like 25% - 10% of what really active and faster Yarn Crafters have !😂

I want get with some of my stimulous money several more "The Art of _______" . Books showing production sketches, models, etc of (a) Movie - land/city scapes, costumes, accessories, vehicles, spaceships 😉.
Have 2 on two SW movies I want 2 more.

Have the one on The Return of The King. I'd like to get The Fellowship.
One, maybe 2 from Pixar movies
And, oh, Cloud Atlas - though it may not have made enough audience to have put one out.

5. Books, music, and movies.

I also have a vast collection of concert t-shirts.
