Default Why do we collect?

Posted By: joe brennan

I collect because I like something and it is an addiction. I have an extremely high addictive personality. If I like something, I go obsessive with it. This is not a good trait in a human being as it can lead to some very harmful habits. But, it also can be very expensive and that's not always a good thing. Funny part of this addiction is when the thrill stops, so does does the addiction. Roseville Pottery was my first addictive collection. 63 pieces. Fine art works 14 pieces. Maxfield Parrish vintage prints. 41 pieces. no more room on the walls of my house for art and no more room on shelves for pottery. T206 baseball cards 112 in 10 months. "Hi, My name is Joe and I'm an addict."

A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.
