It would be interesting to get to know in which fields of collecting the members are passionated.
I have been collecting books about mountaineering, especially
Himalaya climbing for about 14 years, having now a small library with
titels in polish, german and english.

maybe predictable, given the forum, but old books on bridge or its predecessor games. My favourite is The Bridge Manual from 1904 (I have earlier whist books)... card play has come a long way... in one chapter, on opening leads, the author says to lead A from AQxx. In the next chapter, on 3rd hand play, he advises that with Kxx, should partner lead the A, your task is to'get out of the way'... to play the K!

Other than that, it seems well written, altho of course the game it describes is nothing like our game.

I collect golf-related pictures and portraits.

I also collect anything sports related from Tampa (Bucs, Lightning, D-Rays).

I just collect coins, used to also collect stamps but those are covered by dust layers. At least I got myself the Verona stamp :)

I collect food. Then I eat it.

Motor vehicles.

In my collection I have, amongst lots of others, over 30 Ferraris. Sadly they are all around 4 inches long and the most expensive was about £24.99
