Some people collect because they cannot
stop doing so; it is a kind of disease.
Other people collect because they have
been requested to do so. The pathological
collector collects more for the sport of it than
for the results. Therefore, the (p) collector
will make stringent rules for the sport, so
it will not be too easy for newcomers. But
collecting is not enough; the collection has
to be organized in a proper way. The result
of the requested (r) collection depends on the
collector’s background and understanding
of the matter at hand. The cultural, historic
value of a collection can be measured by the
amount of information that is added to the
objects in the collection. A collection with
little or no information on the objects has
really low value seen from a cultural, historic
point of view. But a p-collector may overlook
that fact as long as the objects fulfil the
collector’s criteria for making additions to
the collection.
