Many of us love to collect. It's a passion - but these Sunderland people really are a step above.
Here are nine collections which made the pages of the Echo. They included police memorabilia, the Supremes, sci-fi figures and even glass eyes.
We found all these photos in the Sunderland Echo archives. Read on to find out more about each of them.
