I've tryed but nothing has stuck I tryed marbles, coins, action figures and prob a couple more i can't remember

Right now I'm collecting dust.

anything halo related.

State quarters...I almost have em all!

I collect the cards from Star Trek: Customizable Card Game. I also played, but haven't in a long time since everyone who played with me has moved away. Now I'm stuck simply collecting, or playing games with my brother from a couple of my decks (he doesn't have his own cards, but knows the rules well enough to play).

I also collect clarinet solos (and perform the ones I collect).

Is this game fun? I didn't know there was a Star Trek CCG.

Oh yes, very fun. Star Trek: CCG is actually my favorite card game ever. There have actually been two card games based on Star Trek (and I played them both). One was Star Trek: The Card Game, which was based solely on the original series. It was basically played by drawing portions of a particular episode and re-creating the "feel" of an original series episode, though you, of course, would not be re-creating the episode exactly. It was pretty fun to play, but it didn't have the charm of the Star Trek: CCG.

The other game is Star Trek: Customizable Card Game (or ST:CCG). This also tried to capture the feel of a Star Trek episode, but in a different way. Also, this game encompassed all of Star Trek canon (beginning with The Next Generation, but eventually expanding to include Deep Space Nine, Voyager, The Original Series, the motion pictures, and Star Trek: Enterprise). Basically, you and your opponent played with six missions, and you seeded each other's missions with dilemmas (which were meant to hamper your progress in completing missions) -- so this game did require a bit of set-up. But you could choose which affiliation you played (starting with the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans -- but eventually expanding to include most, if not all, the major races seen in Star Trek). Or you could mix affiliation with the use of a treaty. Basically, each mission had requirements for completing them (usually skills on each personnel card), and you had to have those abilities to complete the mission. In the course of completing missions you would encounter dilemmas or possibly unearth artifacts). Whoever scored 100 points was the winner. But eventually, as the game expanded, it also included alternate methods for victory. It got very complicated, but this was also the appeal to me. I never got bored playing the game. There were constantly new icons to use, new rules to incorporate, and other things. I loved that part of it, but the average player wanted it simpler. So Decipher (the creators of the game) made a Second Edition to the card game and kept it simpler. I always preferred the First Edition because it was more complex.

oh...they made LotR CCG...can't believe I had to look that up haha

What makes a marble so expensive? I didn't know that marbles were even collectible!

The only non-game things I collect are soda-related. I have a small collection of root beer bottles (and other related sodas, like sarsaparilla and birch beer) showing some weird brands I've drunk over the years, but the star is my collection of Dr Pepper clones. Many grocery stores have generic-brand sodas, and many of those have some Dr Pepper knockoff with a hilariously terrible name. My favorites in the collection are Giant Eagle's "Dr. Aahh", Piggly Wiggly's "Mr. PIG", Kalil's "Dr. Good Guy", and the undisputed star: a soda simply titled "Doctor."

dr thunder ftw!

and thats one crazy marble.
