People seem to realise the inherent value to things people collect, thanks to news stories, click-bait stories (you'll never guess how much this thing from your childhood sold for) and reality TV shows. So when people learn that I collect or do x thing, it is not at all surprising.
Probably the only group I can think of is "opposite" collectors. Even in sports cards this division exists, the type that does something different in your hobby than you. Think graded vs pages collectors. Or in cards in general, the sports vs game card collectors. I've met some people who are huge into Magic cards that have expressed literal difficulty in trying to figure out sports card collectors. Its a weird thing.
