I look at it this way:

People need to find enjoyment in life, and often that costs money. Some people like to travel, or hit a casino once in awhile, while some will drop some dough at the local watering hole once or twice a week.

Some people take cruises, stay at nice hotels or eat out at good restaurants a couple times a week, or go to a movie theater every weekend. Some people will spend a hundred or more dollars per game attending sports events...

And so on. Here's the thing - the hobby that gives you pleasure does not involve spending money; it involves putting your money into something that will likely hold its value.

All of the other examples I gave above result in money being spent and gone. Your example is the opposite - it involves money being preserved. I'd say, not only go for it, but go for it and feel great about your decision because not only does it give you pleasure, it is also a wise move.
