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?

Nice question,

I collect books, look to complete collections of certain books all in the same edition.

I collect valuable retro games.

I have scanned my magazines and keep the originals in storage.
