Loved this sentence:
"Indeed, some collectors even collect collecting guides."

guess I resemble that remark
as I have a run of ACC guides and many other guides catalogs and collector books dedicated to baseball and non-sports. Quite a few are signed by the original authors. Two of my favorites are the Sotheby's Halper catalog signed by him and my Alan Hager signed price guide :-) Oh yeah - and a copy of Lifson and Mastro's Sideshow freaks book.

I have a variety of collecting guides, too, so I'm not belittling that -- although I don't really collect them in the same way I collect the underlying memorabilia. But the sentence just made me laugh.

As a member (supposedly) of the highest order of life on this planet, I collect for one reason:
Free Will Come to think of it, since I retired, most everything I do is based on Free Will. It may be different on other planets...still waiting to be collected myself. .

Some collectors collect ads for old baseball card shows and photos of cards.
A baseball card collector was asked why he collected kid's cards. He said he was reliving his boyhood. Sounded as worthy a reason as any. It's noteworthy that most of the world's great museums (MOMA, etc) were started by private wealthy collectors who donated their collections and money for the building. Many museums wouldn't except for collectors. Last edited by drcy; 11-07-2016 at 11:33 AM.
