Collections of anything, unless for educational or preservational purposes, are petty sus. Like you just buy and store stuff? Consumerist mind rot.
I feel like there's a great vibe difference in people collecting things that are unintentionally rare and those that collect intentionally rare things
To stick with the given example: I think some guy collecting vintage Mockbas would be a lot cooler than some guy collecting the newest limited edition sneaker.
If you like the way they look, you tend to display them. Just like literally all other collections. You know, like art?
