Well you should always do what you love but the rest of the quote i do not understand.
Are you really saying you mostly collect things just so other will know you have them? It just sounded that way.
I think most of us collect because we love the franchise and the items of that franchise we collect for. Showing the items off is a bonus... and we only do it to share our passion with others who share the same passion and can appreciate the items like we do. There is always a small part of it being "Hey! Look at what I got! Don't you want it!?" with all of us... some of us are worse then others though.

Very true... we all curb our collecting from time to time for various reasons. Some of us even sell parts of our collections. But I do not collect to show others I collect because i enjoy searching for the items and finally finding the one i was looking for (or one I wasn't looking for).
