Collect - to gather ot accumulate a group of objects, especially as a hobby
Collecting is a hobby and a hobby is defined as 'an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation. The hobbyist collector enjoys all aspects of accumulating a full range of objects related to their interest. Their collections will include the most common, generally least expensive item to the rarest, most expensive item they can afford. While acquisition is the end-game; it's the hunt for the elusive object, research of the subject matter, the challenge of pitting their knowledge against someone else's, and finally the negotiations that lead to acquisition, that fuel a collector's passion. Nowhere does the definition of hobby or collector imply financial gain. In some areas financial gain may occur, but it is not a focal point. There is no right or wrong way to collect.
