Baseball cards - I got out of it for a few years, but I am trying to catch back up now.
My most valuable card would be my rookie card = Cal Ripken Jr.
I also have tons of matchbox and hot wheel cars, but I dont really "collect" them, they are just all over the damn place..
My son loves them. I bought a custom 49 Merc hot wheels the other day for him, and liked it so much I kept it for myself....Is that wrong???

Ah, piss off! This is actually a pretty good topic.
I used to collect stamps, but got bored. They're in a ziploc bag, somewhere.
I used to collect baseball cards, but got tired of baseball and annoyed at the move away from simple cards and toward gold-plated holographic 3-d cards of death. They're in a box, somewhere.
I used to collect comic cards (like X-men), but that was a money-sink. They are in an album, somewhere.
I used to collect world currency, but I didn't really know anything about what I was collecting. They're in a box, somewhere.
I used to collect US currency, but then had to start paying for rent, insurance, food, etc, etc. They are in an album, somewhere.

I used to collect vinyl albums, but I almost completely stopped buying after I hit over 2,000 records. I've inherited my dad's collection recently and very rarely buy the odd record I just *can't* pass up (just recently found a Jimmy Smith album - The Cat - that I'd been casually looking for for about ten years), but mostly I just enjoy the fruits of my labor, now.
