Todd (nolemmings)although I agree that you might want to avoid the personal collection language. It does or can seem tacky, especially if you acquired the item somewhat recently and are flipping it and/or acquired it primarily with an eye toward re-sale. If you have held possession for many years, I see nothing wrong with disclosing that fact and/or why/how you acquired it, which may convey that you "collected" it or that it held some meaning to you.
