Guys, I forgot to tell everyone that I bought The Dude a White Russian last week at the bar. It was easily the happiest I have ever been to buy someone I didn't know a drink.
See, that is a real collection. I didn't care about years or anything. It was just every single penny I could find in a box.
Do you get anxious when you see people dumping coins into a Coin Star machine?
I collected stickers when I was younger, but that was it.
So for this clothing tag collection, would all the tags be from your personal clothes? Would you cut the tags as soon as you got an item, or wait til it was "retired"? Have you ever snipped a tag from a piece of clothing that wasn't your own? Do you have a special niche of tags that you find more appealing (ie sweaters, pants, etc)?
So many questions. This is for beebee too (which I still hope you find that Good Charlotte pic sometime!).

When I was little I had really weird collections. Pennies, all sorts of stationary type things (pencils, erasers, notepads... but all HAD to stay unused), and weirdest of all? Tags. Like clothes tags.
this is amazing, because i just told my family about my childhood tag collection and was ridiculed all weekend. I ALSO COLLECTED TAGS!

i would cut the tags off new clothes (mine and my parent's/sister's clothes), throw away the plastic part and keep them in a pile. separate piles for price tags and the tags with the brand. i organized them by size into a nice little stack. further proof that i've always been a freak, and had a need to organize unnecessary things. and i'll try to get into the bin with my pictures when i get home from work tomorrow. you've waited long enough.
What's your favorite tag that you've collected over the years? How early on do you remember collecting tags? Will you buy a shirt that is a tagless style, or avoid it for a style that has a tag you can cut off and collect?
I'll have to rummage through some clothes and see if I can find some weird/obscure tag to send you.

let it be known that i no longer collect tags! i did this probably from the time i was in third grade until junior high (the fruit snacks as well). as i've grown up, i've started throwing away everything i own rather than keeping garbage. also, i should clarify that i kept the paper price tags, and not the tags inside the clothes. i found a stash of them when i moved out of my parent's house. this was my favorite place to get tags from.
Rothric -I think we're on different pages. Like Bee just said, we collected the (traditionally) oak tag type tags that are attached with prices and all that- not the kind at the neck of your shirt that you would have to cut off.
I rarely kept the boring white pricetags, but kept the company tags. My favorite was actually a big sticker (unused of course). I think it was a unicornish creature. My favorite were those which were different- bright colors, different materials, funny shape, attached with a chain...
I am not sure when I got rid of mine. I moved in the summers between 5th and 6th, and between 6th and 7th. I feel like I didn't have it in middle school, so I must have tossed it before one of those moves.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

This Dude?
mhmmm, it was great. I walked up and said, " Hello Mr. Dude, I see you're starting to run low there... How about the next one is on me?" he smiled and nodded and I asked, "I take it you'll be having a White Russian" and he nodded and smiled again. I got one as well and we toasted each other and I told him to have a nice night and that if he knew anyone looking for a rug, to let me know.
I got a chuckle from the notification "Bonzai tagged you in the thread..."
I have to say, I find collecting the price tags even stranger than collecting the brand tags. I don't know why, but I do.
And I loved Pogs, especially the slammers like Bonzai mentioned. I remember I had one that had a pretty amazing hologram of a cobra. I played with my pogs though. I remember when I eventually got rid of them in a move. Was hard to let them go, but they had to!

I didn't usually keep the ones with the prices unless it was also really pretty. For example, if I bought the clothing item below, I would keep the green tag on the left, not the price tag on the right, and not the tag attached inside the clothing. But, yes, it was a very weird collection...

Things I love about inforoo: No matter what you post here, there's always someone who is willing to relate to you.
I feel like sometimes I've said things that no one is willing to relate to me on...... but usually then I just have to page Mr. Limp and that fixes it.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I collected Pogs for a hot minute back in the day, 'til I went up against one or two kids with the Cadillac of slammers. RIP my Pog collection.
I used to have a whooolle heap of Ghostbusters gear 'til my mum decided to chuck 90% of it because she thought I was too old. What I would do for that firehouse, Ecto 1, or proton pack, trap, and PKE meter. At this point I would even settle for a few action figures; the only thing I've seen since the '90s is the Mr Stay Puft stuffed doll.
Excluding books, movies, and music, the only thing I collect these days are ticket stubs. Mostly concerts, some movie stubs, a few festival wristbands, a couple boarding passes, and other odds and ends like museum tickets or ferry tours. I'm thinking it's about time to move them from the Ziploc to a frame.

Oh man, my neighbor had the proton pack! That thing was awesome.
I collect all my ticket stubs/festival wristbands too. That's why I'm sad about the move to digital tickets. I still have plans to comb through my email and print out stubs for myself, just haven't done it yet. I always opt for a hard ticket when it's an option.
HOW MUCH LONGER DO I NEED TO WAIT BEFORE WE DISCUSS WHO COLLECTED BEANIE BABIES AND IF THEIR PARENTS WON'T LET THEM SELL THEM AND SO NOW THEY HAVE 300 BEANIE BABIES IN THEIR PARENTS BASEMENT???
Oh. I had all the Beanie Babies. I was all about them bears, man. Britannia? Erin? Princess Di? The World Peace one? Yup. Collected them for years with my Grandma.
And yup, they're definitely in the basement, aside from a few that she uses for decoration.

When my step-father smuggled bibles into China in 1998, he came back with a shit-ton of the "rare" beanie babies. My little sister (who is 11 yrs younger than me) was a HUGE collector and I am not sure if she still has them. My step-father sold most of the ones he brought back, he had that pink elephant that wasn't the correct shade or whatever and made like $200 bucks off it. He gave the Princess Di one to a relative that collected those as well. I just don't get it. They were fucking stuffed animals and completely worthless now.

HE SOLD THE PURPLE PEANUT?! THAT MONSTER!
Is that what it was called? He bought it for like $5 and made $195 off it. I think that is acceptable.
EDIT: Also, apparently I am too old to know about pogs. I had to google it.
Fun story: when I was in third grade right before I started collecting Beanie Babies, McDonald's was giving out the little beanies with Happy Meals. I got Patty the Platypus, and it still had the tag on, which I didn't really care for. After all, who would want to keep a fucking tag? That's ridiculous.
Anywho, two girls in my class each had a tagless Patty the Platypus, and they wanted to trade me for mine. No problem. But I didn't know who I should give it to, so they started arguing over who should get the Beanie Baby with the tag. It annoyed me, so I just tore the tag off and tossed it to them so they could fight over it between themselves. The silence and look they each gave me was awesome.
Screw you, Andrea and Tara. I hope you've learned to play nice.
