Do you collect anything physical?

So my wife knows I’m a data hoarder and she’s unbothered. Thank god 😂

But she asked me why do I collect comics physically when they could be digital and take less space? I didn’t have an answer so I said just cause haha. I was curious for y’all do you collect anything physical? And if so what do you collect? Also why?

Game consoles and physical games. I also like having physical media in general, so I have a decent collection of music and movies, even if they just end up getting ripped anyways.
