I'm 42 and have been collecting for a long long time. I guess it can be silly?? but it is something I enjoy doing. There are so many other ways to spend money and waste time but we choose to collect. We could drink as our hobby or we could blow are money at the strip club. I have gotten my 8 year old son interested in the hobby and with this he has learned a few good lessons. 1. sometimes you have to save to get what you want. 2. you have to stay organized ( or you dont have room for new toys) 3. he has also learned the most important thing and that is how to meet people and have fun. We walk into our local toysrus and they say hi to him by name. thats bad ass for an 8 year old.
I have enjoyed collecting for 25 years and plan to continue for another 25.
thanks for a great topic!
