I have a lovely collection of model buses, EFE, OOC Etc. mostly Welsh companies. I've been collecting them for around 20-23 years. I'm a bus driver myself, although started this collection when I was a motorcycle courier. Quite surprised how many bus drivers collect these models.
I want to collect stationary sets from the 80s like those pencil cases with hidden compartments, theyre usually decorated with cute japanese cartoons on them. I loved those little plastic penguins and frogs that had paper clips in their feet, a pencil sharpener in their back and a rubber in their hat. Most of this stuff is quite pricey now and I'm not sure I could have them without my kids destroying them but maybe sometime soon.
Other things that spring to mind are old Football Magazines or any Magazines with Coupons in for things or Competitions (in the hope I can "just" catch the deadline)
Another is certain Football shirts (that can take my fancy- at that time ... then I go off them) that have different players names on the back - though the Shirt in the main is the same. I love these types of finds where you can keep a Secondary of them as a"spare" just in-case!
Though with all those pins on is like wearing a helmet.
It's actually more of a display piece and I have since replaced the glasses which are my own with a souvenir pair of sunglasses which I can't wear cause they're not prescription.
