So are all collectors the same?

[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 490855, member: 9217"] I think the great thing about us humans is that we like different things: we like different foods, different women, different hobbies and different things to collect. Wouldn’t the world be a dull place if we all liked the same things? As a collector I collect what makes me happy and what I can afford; of course I have my own opinions on what others collect but I enjoy seeing diverse collections and seeing what makes others happy. I couldn’t for example imagine spending £1,200 on a rare sausage and beans label because I have no personal attachment to it and I don’t feel it is value for money for me personally, but I know it will mean the world to another collector; or spending $40,000 on a Sears Canada 12 pack GDE box only, as I couldn’t afford to spend that much, or see value in spending that much on cardboard, though I think it’s a lovely piece and take enjoyment in knowing I have had the chance to see it. I love seeing rare (and often) valuable pieces (pieces I might hasten to add I’ll never be able to afford in my collection) but I also get enjoyment and inspiration from seeing how others are able to collect great pieces on a limited budget and how to make the most amazing displays from a beater run.
