Back in the day, I used to collect movie ticket stubs—yeah, I know, it sounds silly now, but I was committed. I had almost a thousand of them at one point, each one a tiny reminder of the movies I saw (and the questionable decisions I made on date nights). It was a weird collection, sure, but it had nothing on some of the wild stuff other people manage to gather.
From collections of antique dentures to hundreds of rubber ducks, these folks have dedicated themselves to hoarding the unexpected in the most fascinating ways. Here’s a look at some of the weirdest and coolest collections we found.
1. I collect pill boxes and small containers.
2. Smalls found at the rubbish dump.
3. This man’s collection of lost apple varieties.
4. I’m a hardcore collector of 70s space age mod, and pick up every single piece I find thrifting. Here is my upstairs living room with some of my finds over the years.
5. Been collecting off and on since ’97
