Default Why do we collect?

Posted By: Daniel Bretta

I grew up in a family of collectors. My father was a stamp collector and my mother a doll collector. I went to a lot of auctions and garage sales as a child and I don't think there's ever been a time when I didn't collect something. I got hooked on sports and nonsports (Star Wars, et cetera) cards when I was very young and the card bug stayed with me....I got very attached to baseball and then I concentrated only on that....part of my "Obsession" is to organize and categorize which gives me a sense of order in my life. I think some of it is mental because I move furniture a lot, and I can't stand a messy house, everything has to have order. I can go in my baseball room and just relax.
