Do you collect anything physical?

So my wife knows I’m a data hoarder and she’s unbothered. Thank god 😂

But she asked me why do I collect comics physically when they could be digital and take less space? I didn’t have an answer so I said just cause haha. I was curious for y’all do you collect anything physical? And if so what do you collect? Also why?

According to the added storage capacity of my bins, I have 192 gallons of movies, video games, books… not including 8 short boxes of comics.
