Hi Balticfox:

Looks like you're relatively new around here. So welcome to the site.

You raise some good questions, and I'm sure that you'll find a lot of different approaches to how people collect, as we all have our own ideas around what gets us excited about collecting.

But if you're looking to help people to open up and be generous about sharing, maybe you could start off the conversation by sharing your personal approach to collecting?

Since I see that you have a poll, you might also consider whether some of us use more than one of these approaches. My guess is that most of us could check multiple boxes. Under the current format, it looks like only a single selection is permitted for each respondent.
