Steve fRich, good question.
IMO for the collector -one that started in adolescence, they may take long breaks but revert to our childhood automisms to recapture that feeling. I'm in it for life.
On another note, Due to budget constraints (I'm blue-collar) and to keep the home tranquil, I have to liquidate several beaters before going back on safari. I realize this cardboard orgy can be addictive and struggle often to prevent impulse buying.
