Many people collect a little bit of a lot of things, but what's the main thing you're interested in collecting right now? Have the holidays helped your collection grow?
For me it's those DC and Marvel phone book-sized B&W collections of reprints from the 60s-80s. Counting the ones I purchased with an Amazon gift card that haven't arrived yet I will be up to an even total of 40 of these books in my collection. The great thing about having the gift card is I treated myself to a few of the more expensive out of print ones like Essential Howard the Duck and the first volume of Luke Cage Power Man. The surprise hit of the season has been Showcase Presents: Batgirl. I expected your basic Batman knock-off, but I've found Barbara Gordon to be a surprisingly great character. My top three books overall would be Doom Patrol, Phantom Stranger, and Man-Thing.

Garfield memorabilia. My Mom got me interested in Garfield at a young age and I've always loved it. She passed away when I was 10 so I still collect stuff in memory of her. Plus,I really like Garfield.

Baseball, football, basketball, and wrestling cards Have you seen those WWE Classics cards or whatever they're called? I bought a two pack of them at Wal-Mart recently. For anybody who hasn't seen them, I thought they were reprints of the classic WWF cards and it turns out that some of them are, but they also have newer guys with cards in the same style as the old cards mixed in. They're pretty cool. I got a Dude Love sticker in one of the packs.

I used to collect keychains. But also insisted on connecting them all so there is like an 8 foot chain of key chains hanging on a wall.

Baseball, football, basketball, and wrestling cards Cool, I use to collect. What's your best Baseball card? Out of all of them, I have the worst luck in baseball. Best one is probably my 1994 SP Alex Rodriguez that's in damn good condition. I haven't gotten it graded. Football I've hit stuff like a Clay Matthews auto SPX rookie, Steve Young auto, Tom Brady 2000 Bowman, Brady jersey numbered to 25. Basketball I get stuff like a LeBron Chrome rookie refractor (sold that), Yao Ming SP Authentic auto numbered to 25 (sold that), Dwyane Wade Chrome rookie, Kevin Love auto jersey numbered to 25, and a Michael Jordan auto (UD Authentic redemption for autographed photo). Wrestling is where I have the best luck, by far. I've been able to hit Sting autos, Kurt Angle auto, Mick Foley autos, Hogan worn, Eve auto, AJ auto, Kelly Kelly autos, Dolph auto, Harley Race auto, Big Show auto relic, Christian auto relic, Velvet/Angelina/Kong/Raisha auto printing plate, Mickie auto relic, Trish autos. I've even bought entertainment boxes. I've been able to get autos of Nathan Fillion, Casey Kasem, Sean Maher, and Morena Baccarin. Baseball, football, basketball, and wrestling cards Have you seen those WWE Classics cards or whatever they're called? I bought a two pack of them at Wal-Mart recently. For anybody who hasn't seen them, I thought they were reprints of the classic WWF cards and it turns out that some of them are, but they also have newer guys with cards in the same style as the old cards mixed in. They're pretty cool. I got a Dude Love sticker in one of the packs. Yep, I pre-ordered 2 boxes when they went up for sale. I love Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter. I got relics of Sheamus, and Ryder, a Trips Mania mat card, and a Mean Gene auto. I love that they brought back WWE Heritage this year, they better keep it up.

Soccer/Football jerseys. I'm not sure I would call it a collection, but I have a bunch and I get one from every city I travel to.
I actually wish I collected something, but there's nothing like that that I'm super into
