This isn't really on topic, but I think I did one of the coolest things ever. 
I got into comic book collecting for a while.  So what I did is get the fancy
bags and boards, and got these nice plastic totes and stored them away when I
got sick of them.  Once every 5-6 years I open it up to just check and make
sure they're alright.  So I'm sitting on about 1200 mint condition comic books
that are at least 12 years old.  :)
