...and I thought I was the only one that opened them for the magnets... 
Let me guess...you also have magnets you saved out of old speakers?
I do. Somewhere around here.

Starting in kindergarten, I've collected old stuff. My most useless collection was my first - broken glass and pottery from my parent's garden. When we moved, they threw my comprehensive broken sh*t collection away and I've been trying to recapture the magic of that collection ever since. 
Currently have so much 19th century furniture that I need a bigger house to put it in.

| Over the years I've collected American stamps, Boy Scout stamps, pennies (still save them), world coins, magnets, keys, electric motors, software, (currently) movies, problably any number other things. I also had a car on blocks for years that I swore I would one day fix up. |

Soooooooo many things, I couldn't count. The one I'm most proud of though is my collection of over 1,000 four, five, six, seven and eight-leaf clovers!  They're all pressed three to a page in a book, in sections depending on how many leafs they have, and all recorded on a sheet in the front with date, place found, and the current tally of the various numbers.

When I was younger - matchbox cars
Never really played with them either. I liked to sort them based on whatever categorical relationship suited my fancy at the moment (aspie alert!)
More recently - exotic beer bottles
But... only if I've actually consumed it's contents! |

I collected the usual kid things like china dolls, hockey/baseball/basketball cards, and rocks.
My ongoing collection is a stamp collection I inherited. I'm in the process of organizing it. I estimate the whole collection has a value of $1500. |
