Breyer horses and Nancy Drew books.
As an adult I completed my set of Nancy Drew books, and my DD shares my love of horses, so she got my few Breyers. The coolest thing was being able to get an actual horse in my forties. Loved that ornery ole' mare, and now my DD is a veterinarian. You never know where a childhood hobby or collection might end up.

Stamps, like all my other friends were doing. It was "the thing to do" when I was a kid.

Books - the Nancy Drew series was my favorite. Also Trixie Beldon. I became a mystery fan at an early age, and it's continued!

Nothing better than curling up on the porch with Trixie Belden and Honey Wheeler on a lazy summer day. Thanks for bringing me back to those memories...

Some values raise to even more! I know a few moschinos, still in box from NM have. The ballet shoe handbag and the la scala opera bag have gone from 299 to close to 1200. The very quirky older kate spade, like chinese take out, the beehive, and many I have have more than tripled. But the handbag market is like the stock market. Up, down, up down. I have a kate spade that looks like a bird cage. I love that one it even has leather newspaper print on bottom of cage with a parrot swinging. Lol. I love them. Makes me laugh.
I wish I knew how to post photos I could post a photo a day of my handbags for a smile a day.

I did not have any collections of any kind
my mom cleaned daily and all she did was yell if she had to much to clean so it was a useless thought to even collect anything.
when dh and i got married we collected salt and pepper shakers we collected quite a few sets, but with all the moves we made (military) we lost a majority of the sets or they were broken when unpacking as we moved.
I don't have any collections now.

Not a big collector as a child but I did collect Harmony Kingdom boxes for about ten years as an adult (but 9/11 and the market problems of 2008 effectively "ended" that collection).
