What do you collect most?

What is the most popular railroading thing to collect and what do you have the most of?
Books?
Videos?
Music?
Models?
Artwork? (paintings, sculptures, figurines, etc.)
Magazines? (could be # of issues or # of differnt names)
Photographs?
Home Videos?
Postcards? (old & new)
T-shirts?
Cigarette lighters?
Railroad equipment? (lanterns, timetables, etc.)
Other novelty items?
This list isn't all inclusive. It could be something as obscure as having the most railroad spikes or maybe you hang on to everything about railroads that comes in the mail. I have all these magazines from Walthers that I never asked for but never threw away. I also recieved some unsolicited sample Christmas cards in the mail a couple times. Maybe someone has more than I do.
I have 19 videos (includes both VHS and DVD formats). I have about 16 or more books. I can't begin to tell you how many magazines I have. I began subscribing to Trains Magazine back in 1997. I have at least one issue of every magazine the bookstore had to offer over the last several years.
Books are still my favorite thing to collect.
