Ooh, I also collect sheet music! However, for me it's more modern rock/pop stuff. I love finding the really detailed, accurate full score transcriptions that used to be published. I've now resorted to making my own, as much less of it is officially published today.
I collected games across a wide spectrum, and I say collected because I'm mostly an old school fan. I have 5000+ boxed games, but not really many modern games.
My pride and joy is that I have a complete collection of every game made by Sierra pre-1995, with the exception of Ultima: Escape From Mt. Drash, which I doubt I'll ever acquire. I guess that's one of the better things about being older, in that I finished my collection in the early 2000s, back before video game collecting became as expensive as it is now.

I used to collect video/PC games a decade ago, but sold my collection piecemeal (and cheap) for about $4k to be able to afford my driver's license. I had 1k black label PS2 games, and about 100 PS1 games. Those were my main focus, but I also had a bunch of other stuff, both older and newer. And some big box adventure games, including a sealed TLJ. The only thing I haven't sold is my King's Field collection.
These days I'm mainly collecting D&D 3.x books and tabletop miniatures for use with it and other TTRPGs. Got about 3200 minis total that are painted(factory painted, or painted by me or friends). And probably just as many unpainted. And that's not counting the scenery stuff, because I haven't decided on how to count or categorize it yet.

I don't really have space for collecting anything, but I guess I could call my small library in the small corridor a collection of books. Now and then I give books away when I am sure that I don't want to read them anymore, but others (like for example The Neverending Story) are very dear to me. There is a book swapping box nearby where I put in books I don't want to read anymore and swap them with other books I don't know yet. Some I keep, others I bring back to that box.
Sometimes a bird from bluebrixx happens to find their way into my apartment when I forgot to close my window.
And I am collecting a beautiful pile of anticipation in my steam library.

I don’t keep very many books, but The Neverending Story is one of the ones that I also will never get rid of. Mine is an early, but not first, hardcover edition of the English version with the different-colored text. I hesitate to reread it, though, because I fear I won’t love it as much anymore. Perhaps that perception is colored by the movie, which was, to me at least, just awful.
