When I was younger, I tried to collect boogers and try to eventually accumulate one as big as a soccer ball.
Yeah and it was a total failure. I barely got it to the size of a marble, and that took months! Then my mum was like "wtf" and threw it away... I also used to collect my fallen teeth when I was younger as well. Didn't wanna give it to the tooth fairy. My teeth are worth more than a damn quarter! Then mum saw it and was like "wtf" again and threw it away...
I collect casino chips, mainly of the $1 variety, but some $5 if they are limited edition. I currently have $1 chips from every casino on the Strip and Fremont Street in Vegas.

Adam Morrison Bobcats Blue Alternate Swingman jersey, that jersey is so sweet is so many ways.

Hardy Boys books. Not the new ones: the old, blue, hardcover editions. Got a bunch as a kid and just kept adding on.
I've got about 20 years worth of a movie ticket stubs from every film I've been to since Rocketeer in 1989.
I collect exotic percussion instruments and classic album covers (which I frame and put on the wall). My wife collects 45 singles (for her jukebox). This makes for a pretty interesting "music" room in our house.
Vintage BMX cruisers (24" and 26") especially the brand Champion (late 70s - early 80s) Vinyl records from the new wave era (75-83) Debt
Ooooooh! That's a collection I would love to see. My Hardy Boys books are all the paperback casefiles from the 80's.
