I also collect superhero figurines, busts, dioramas, action figures, my attic is like a marvel superheroes theme park. I let my daughter and her friends play with most of the stuff, but I have quite a few numbered and limited edition items that I keep in locked display cabinets.
I don't collect stamps anymore, but I do have 4 albums I amassed as a teenager and my dad keeps them with his stamp albums in a safe.
I used to have a mass of skateboard parts and spares I used to use in my little skateboard fixing and customising business but I packed that in when I left home.
I have a friend who collects comic books, X-men among them. I found an X-men, issue #1 in a box of comics in a thrift shop and gave it to him. Apparently it has some value. It was in pretty good shape, just some wear on the front cover.
