Agreed. Most of us are collectors, not just buyers of cardboard.
And I would also suggest, try not to get caught up in cardboard envy. I dislike registries for this reason. Don't worry about comparing your collection to that of others, or wondering how you can one day have an astonishing collection yourself. These are hollow goals that will rob you of the enjoyment of collecting and make it more a burden than anything.
