Its obvious that most of you guys are pretty crazy into grabbing up games of all sorts. Do you have any other collecting vices? Comics, Sports Cards, Celebrity Genital Molds, Troll Dolls?
Heres some pics of the only thing besides Video Games I've cared enough about to collect.

Thats my Judas Priest collection, minus a few pieces that arnt in the picture. Notable ommisions are the British Steel and Painkiller CDs aswell as a few old tour posters and tour books.
I've acquired everything locally which makes this collection extra special to me. I've gotten every studio and major live release on CD. I'm only missing 3 more records and I've got all the major releases there too. Somehow I've gotten the European cover variants for Point of Entry and Killing Machine locally in North-Western Canada?
There are still a few big whole to fill in such as Halfords other bands after leaving JP and Glenn Tiptons Solo album. I've got a few of the Tim Owens albums, but as you can see in the picture above the are not allowed to touch the REAL Judas Priest stuff. Man that guy sucks.
These are two of my favorite pieces. Neither are overly valuable, but are just really cool items in my mind.

The CD is a live recording of Rob Halford filling in at a couple Black Sabbath concerts on vocals. Its pretty poor quality, but its awesome to hear some Sabbath songs with an actual singer (Ronnie James Dio stuff aside, because he is freakin awesome in Sabbath. Ozzy sucks!!!). Whoever made the CD also added a few bonus tracks such as Rob singing Delivering the Goods with Skid Row, a song with Ugly Kid Joe and a few other gems.
The Vinyl Album is the 80's Hair Band version of Band Aid. It was organized by Ronnie James Dio and includes guys from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Spinal Tap, Yngwie, Night Ranger, WASP, Queensryche, Blue Oyster Cult, Twisted Sister, Dokken, Motely Crue, Y&T, Ted Nugent, Queit Riot and others. It has the cheesiest lyrics you can imagine ("Who cries for the children........... I doooooooooo" and "We are Stars!!"), but with the very talented vocalists at the helm, they somehow pull it off. Oh yeah and there is also a 5 minute long guitar freakin' solo with some of the craziest guitarist around at the time that will blow your mind!!
Heres the Video for the song We're Stars:
Check out the awesomeness of the 80s Hard Rock scene all mashed into one song.
So what else are you guys passionate about? I'd love to see pics and hear stories about your non-gaming related collecting habits.

I've collected several things through the years, everything from baseball cards to HotWheels cars to Simpsons memorabilia, but nothing else comes close to my video game collection. I suppose my next biggest and favorite collection would be my record collection, with about 600 albums. But I quit actively collecting a couple years ago because it was taking up too much room and I couldn't display them properly or appreciate them boxed up and stacked up on top of each other. One day when I have the room, I'd love to start collecting them again because they are a ton of fun to collect.

I used to actively collect coins. Now its more of a passive things and I fill in my coin folders as I find stuff. I also used to collect keychains.
My policy anymore is that my game collection continues to grow and require tons of space which I don't have. I've also avoided collecting Star Wars things because I know it would consume my life. My video game collection has reached the comfortable "mid-size" (aka over 1000) point and I'm less interested in pumping numbers and more interested in quality. I'm spending a little more money on quality fighters and shmups and less time poking around the thrift stores for Tiger handhelds.

Kids, apparently. I'm up to three.

I have a decent sized collection of Jeep items. Everything from toy jeeps to shirts. I'm also a big Jurassic Park fan and have a nice size collection of toys.

When i was younger i collected: hotwheels/matchbox, legos, coins/bills, garfield stuff, Goosebumps stuff, Pokemon stuff, MtG cards, video games, books, Mortal Kombat stuff.
Sold/got rid of:
Hotwheels/matchbox, garfield, legos, goosebumps, Pokemon/MtG cards(:-/)
Still have
Pokemon stuff, books, MK, games, coins/bills(still grab things that catch my eye)
I (still) actively "collect" books, dvds, games and MK stuff.
I am a packrat though. Not nearly as bad as i use to be. Over the years i've been able to get rid of quite possibly a literal ton of stuff.
I had receipts for every game i bought between 96 and 07. It was disheartening to throw them out actually. I still have some tucked away in the game boxes.
