As kids, many of us collected dolls, cards, stickers, or whatever caught our eye. For most, those habits faded with time. But some never let go of the joy that comes from building a collection. The Reddit group r/CoolCollections celebrates those people. Each photo here shows a personal collection that sparks memories, nostalgia, and admiration. How many take you back? If this speaks to you, maybe it’s time to start (or restart) a collection of your own—and share it with the world.
