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?
Books – I have crates upon crates of them, since I don’t have a library in my house, they are stacked from floor to almost ceiling in my bedroom.
Movies – VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, digital. I got rid of a few hundred VHS a while ago, but still have about 20 or so left, stuff that will never be made into DVD, but that I have had forever. DVD and BR, I have probably a thousand of them. Digital, I don’t even want to consider how much I have spent on Prime movies and shows!
Rocks / Crystals – growing up, my dad was a geologist by hobby (I was born in the mid 70s) and he would drag us kids rockhounding. We would find rocks, he would cut and polish them, then show us the treasures we found and give them to us to keep. My dad’s collection was displayed all over the state I grew up in – over 500 pounds of rocks! – and it was consistently tuted as the best collection libraries and state houses had ever had, so it kind of rubbed off.
Edit, spelling
