I think the "great collector" can be a person who either by oneself or causes through others to assemble a great collection. A person with tremendous knowledge is an expert to be consulted, but may not be necessarily a collector.

On the other hand, a "great collection?" I prefer to think of breadth and/or depth. A deep collection narrowly focused can be great. A lack of focus or a broad focus (type-card collecting?) can yield a great collection.

Sometimes I wonder whether the great collector assembling the great collection is happy doing so. When does the quest cease to be fun and turn to addiction?
