What are your collections?

This is basically what I remember. I think about 5 vinyl singles got covered with cat piss at some point which really pissed me off. I don't take them out and play them much, as I usually have them on my computer. The CD albums and cassettes I listen to in the car sometimes though. I have quite a bit of the 'Too Much Love's Will Kill You' cassette singles (US), I bought them all at the same time on eBay. I have a few Headlong CD promos! I've got doubles of albums. I don't even want to bother going through my DVDs right now. I have a few of the Classic Queen Promo CDs from 1989 (one was even stolen from me!). I've even got the Mr. Sad Guy bootleg... but it's not official, so I didn't list it. I got Pre-Ordained as well. Most of this stuff I bought a few years back when I had this goddamn urge to buy things. I spent like $300.00 in one week at one point.[b]

I used to collect all the time but haven't done so since the mid 90's I may one day start again

Yeah sure, your e-penis is much bigger than mine.... :P

I aint writing it all down, but its all on the house insurance for £5000-6000.

A Night at the Opera
Jazz
A Day at the Races

That's it.

Only a good stack of LPs and all but 4 albums on iTunes...Which reminds me, I must work on my collection more.

I've been working on cataloging our collection lately.  I'm almost done.

Well, what I'm most proud of are the following:

- Killer Queen book
- 40+ photographs of Queen live in Liverpool 1978/1979
- 100+ tapes of live material (Queen, Brian/Roger solo, The Cross, interviews, soundchecks etc.)
- One rare video. The concert isn't rare, but this version IS! :) Unfortunately, I can't trade it, but hey, you asked for personal collections, right? :P

Hurry up Erin! Before another Greatest Hits comes out! [img=/images/smiley/msn/shades_smile.gif][/img] I'm probably going to get jealous of your collection though. Mine is bigger than average, but I know you probably have a million more things. Doesn't Pieter have a Freddie cardboard cut out?

Yeah, someone had The Great Pretender one. They were willing to sell it to me but I think they were asking like $200 and I didn't have it at the time.
