I love owning too but, especially with esoteric things I had to have in my 1st collection, once I obtained an item the thrill for that item diminished greatly. It might go more towards a type collector mentality, since that is what I always have been (except when I was very young) with a sprinkling of set collecting. I needed some cards to further me towards completion but didn't care to own them. An enigma wrapped in a bologna sandwich.
And of course everyone collects to own or it wouldn't be collecting or would it?
