This question is based on what could be acquired here and now. No time machines, and by “unlimited time,” I mean that you could devote as much time and effort to the hobby as you wished.

My current interests would take me toward military handguns and rifles, especially sniper rifles.
And then possibly items relating to espionage, cryptography, etc. I once saw an Enigma cipher machine for sale that fascinated me.

Super models (female)! Would not buy them, just rent or lease because there will always be new low mileage ones coming out every year.

I think I would go for the Super Models Sisters. Probably much cheaper and less maintenance.

I'd start a collection of US/World coins/currency. It's interesting how they evolved over time.

First edition classic books
Stradivarius violins
Ancient Christian relics like the ark, grail, etc
Aritsugu and other craftsman katana from the Tokugawa era
Rikyu lineage tea bowls
Dinosaur fossils
