So are all collectors the same?

[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 491022, member: 5830"] Really interesting question Lee I remember distinctly being a bit embarrassed when I was asked to go on The Vintage Rebellion Podcast a year or so ago as I thought my collection was too small and insignificant to be discussed/featured. I guess we are all at times a little humble actually, despite limelighting and showcasing what we pick-up or how we display things etc. I was genuinely shocked and embarrassed when I sent over a little video clip of my room and in response on the episode, Rich described it as a top collection... maybe we should all sit back and appreciate what we have a bit more and not look at others with so much envy and be proud of what we have.... lesson learnt right there for me. There are of course some crazy collections out there that most of us will never emulate, even with a major lottery win they couldn't be bought, the old school US pre-production pioneers, the early 90's completists... they really are untouchable, they collected and accumulated at a time when monetary values were so disconnected from today's madness and the items they have in swap will be more than some of our entire collection are worth.... a lot of that is just down to timing, a lot though is like collecting today, down to learning, hard work, networking and friendships. That's the key to collecting for me; learning, hard work, networking and friendship, not what you've got and how much it cost or is worth. [/QUOTE]
