A name for it - or course there's a name for it. I tease my friend that he has a bottle obsession. Obsession fits it for him. I don't know what it is for me. Add to my building full of bottles (yeah, to get them out of the house so everytime you moved you didn't knock one over, a building was built - 35 x 16 - and it's about full; most of the duplicates live here, the rest - good stuff - is in display cabinets in the house); so, add to the bottles the signs, trays, crates, cartons, bottle caps, calendars, glasses, magazine ads, posters, photographs, cancelled checks, tradecards, etc. and it makes a lot of "stuff." But geez is it fun chasing it all down, and the people you meet doing it.

So, obsession can be a good thing........

Used to have 1000 or so sodas and 600 embossed and labeled food and product jars and bottles but sold most of the too.but cut way back. Also have a bunch of fruit jars but havent counted them lately.

I am what you call a switcherupper, when I dig better stuff I move bottles off the (good) shelf to the windowsill.I keeps going around and around until I have to put stuff in boxes.I don't buy a whole lot,as a matter of fact I haven't bought in a long while.I rely mostly on digs to fill my shelves.Then you have them slow dig periods like now, where you just stare at the stuff you dug and thank the bottle god. Here is one shelf, I had to do two shots the shelf is to long to get it in one pic.

I've just been collecting bottles for about two years now. I'd say I have around 150-200. 98% of them are embossed and local. That keeps the numbers down quite a bit and more money to collect other things .

My other collections are of baseball cards, NY Yankees memorabilia, comic books (regret selling my older Amazing Spiderman comics), hotwheels, arrowheads, fossils and a small collection of coins. I don't get rid of much.

My wife wonders if I have O.C.D. Its like I will be hooked on one of my collections for a while then all of a sudden I turn to another one. Some not so much anymore.

Been collecting for only 2-3 months now (I'm still a baby, waaaah). My oldest Obsession is collecting Video games. Got about 9-10 different systems and over 1000 different games for them. Guess I got OVGC disorder.
