boston.com Your Life your connection to The Boston Globe

Beyond baseball cards and postage stamps

From Zippo cigarette lighters to 8-track music cartridges, some people collect some very interesting, unconventional things. We are calling all readers to tell us why your collection is interesting enough to make it on the pages of Boston.com. Send a message and a few photos to yourlife@boston.com and tell us:

1. What you collect
2. The size of your collection
3. What makes your collection stand out

Don't forget to include your name, hometown, and telephone number.

Avoid telling us about your massive comic book stash, or the million-dollar coin collection you scored on eBay last week. We want randomness!
