Whats a true collector?

[rapidly-greying]

Would you guys say a true collector is one who keeps everything sealed? Or can there be more than one kind of collector?

I myself,open them all up so I can meticulously scan every nook and cranny of each item,but i'm a massive videogame nerd(albeit a particularly handsome nerd).

If I had the money i'd obviously buy 2 copies and keep one sealed but I dont so I like to have them on display. The bigger ones are upstairs in my wardrobe though as there aint nowhere to display them away from sticky and destructive baby and infant hands :-)

We'll hopefully be moving soon if somebody buys our house and i'll knock up something to use for displaying.

Can I call myself a collector or am I merely an enthusiastic geek?

What are your collecting habits?
