The dictionary defines collector as one who collects. I believe to be a great collector one must have, or have had, a great collection. So, in this respect I agree with Bruce. It need not be all encompassing or particularily valuable, just "great". If one is very knowledgeable about the hobby and a great teacher they are just that, but to be a great collector they must have the collection also. Like him or not, this is the reason Alan Rosen IMO is not a great collector---no collection.
