Jason Lalways a collector.
It is a diagnosed medical condition for which there is thought to be no cure.
It can go into remission, if the "bug" decides to hibernate. However, the Collecting Bug IS a permanent resident in the bloodstream of its host, and a dormant infection will oftentimes become re-activated in response to emotional trauma, such as marriage or mid-life crisis.
There is no verified medical proof or documented evidence of how the Collecting Bug is transmitted from person to person; however, it is known to be highly contagious and often transmitted from parents to children. There is no known instances of carrier hosts. Every infected person exhibits the characteristic symptoms.
Collecting is a permanent condition for which there is no cure. Only an extreme lack of funds can be gauranteed to send the bug into remission. Please collect responsibly, and always wear a penny sleeve and top loader.
