Collect what you like. How you like. If one wants to speculate so be it. If one wants to hoard so be it.
It is baffling that people think they know what the definition of a true collector is and you only qualify if you don't care about value. Most of us in our 40's are a product of the 80's baseball card chase where the fresh Beckett with up arrows was like reading the Bible. It is why many are successful in life today.

Goudey brought up "true collectors" so only then did I chime in on my opinion.
I was a fool for busting 89 Topps Hockey and then trusting PSA to grade it. They're a scam company, IMO.
Sure, we all care about value to some extent - it's always nice to get what we pay for something.
