I collected cards for a while, but they were the kind that were more reliable than credit cards for cash-flow purposes. Playing cards, that is. Specifically, I collected the jokers. Not because I enjoyed resembling a notorious foe of Batman, but because jokers are different in each deck. My wierdest one would have to be "The world joker" a fellow in Reanaissance costume standing atop a globe holding a banner proclaiming his name. He also wore a sword, for whatever reason.

But, yeah, credit cards are a cool thing to collect. Maybe there's a way you can scratch the magnetic strip off the back of other people's used cards and render it impossible for you to make transactions with them.
