You make a great point, Leon, about having a long-term collection and the time and effort that goes into it. How can you put a price on that? In terms of enjoyment, it's priceless. We all have many "kills" in our collection, and the trophies to go with them, but the "hunts" make it all worthwhile. Maybe that's where the true value of our collections lie, regardless of the amount of money we spend. (the friends we meet are a pretty nice bonus, too)
OK, getting a little too deep here.
Can we somehow achieve collecting nirvana?
<-- that's what you look like when you achieve nirvana.
