Personally，I am not much of a collector．I collect photos of special times in my life，and I have a big collection of soft toys-dogs，cats，rabbits，bears，e（86）lephantsand so on．I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life．Who hasn't got a collection of photos，or books？Many people collect the letters or emails they've got from friends．And most children have a good toy collection．Most people don't think of t（87）themselvesas‘collectors'because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life．However，there are some people who love collecting things as a h（88）obby，and there is no limit to the things you can collect．You can collect anything，from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos．In fact，some people have extraordinary （不寻常的．collections．
For example，Robert Opie collects things we usually t（89）hrowaway，things like old newspapers，sweet papers and boxes．He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection and you can find some of them in his own museum in Gloucester，UK．
When Stuart Graham from Sydney，Australia died aged 87，he left b（90）ehindsome extraordinary collections．His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5，000old bus tickets，3，000old match boxes and 1，000toy soldiers．Andy didn't want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections．He was s（91）urprisedto find out that his father's collections were very valuable （宝贵的）．
Collectors collect things in different ways．You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection，or you can buy collectors'magazines．You can even look on the Internet at sites such as E-bay．Or you can have an e（92）xchangeof things you have for something else that you would like to have．
