People just love collecting things, no matter what. And it's really amazing how different each collection is from one another. Some collect stamps, others toys, and others go even further and create their own ideas for a collection.

Which is why I thought it would be interesting to see what Bored Panda community members are collecting, and I wasn't disappointed. Some collections were really bizarre in an awesome way, some collections were more standard, but still very exciting to see. Without a doubt, there's a collection for anything one might conceive of.

    Oh brilliant, I like these and thrift stores the best place to buy them. I presume a Thrift store is what we call a charity shop in the UK? I had an Edward the V111 coronation cup but he was never crowned and some idiot broke it.

    Skulls and skeletons are not so odd to collect. People interested in human or veterinary medicine have these, science teachers, and lots of artists have these too. They are cool! I have a dog, cat, horse, deer (male and female), and cow, as well as complete turtle shells. Just be careful with the teeth, sometimes they fall out!
