You asked the question: "how many people in the world who collects anything"? Approximately one in every 10 in the world needs something to collect. Some consider it a waste of time. Is it really so? Tretyakov art gallery is also started with the collecting of P. M. Tretyakov. He collected works his whole life and gave them as a gift. The famous historian A. N. Paul was collecting antiquities, which became the basis of the Museum in Dnepropetrovsk and part of a collection of city historical Museum.
The collectors are interesting people. Each of them has his hobby. There are the directions: stamp phillumenist, coin collectors, dealers and bibliophiles, profanity and many others. Collecting takes a lot of time and effort. Because of this need as early as possible to determine the topic of your hobby and start collecting. This will allow Your collection to be more complete and extensive.
I recently learned about one person. He is about 50 years. He was thin, sad, but with glowing eyes and warmth to their work. He said that for 20 years busy collecting paintings, prints, musical compositions. He did not feel sorry for neither money nor time. Often it is necessary to make long trips in order to find some vague picture, happened to be on artist paper, or a sheet of paper, written by a musician. Every day he sorts his collection in chronological and systematic order according to the authors. But most of the time he explores it, takes a distinctive character, similarities and differences. The purpose of all his research is to prove that under these terms, under these scales is hidden a mysterious language. Language, without which, in his opinion, it is impossible to understand poetry in General or any delicate work or the nature of the poet.
In my opinion collecting is very interesting. It allows you to study your chosen area in more detail, to delve into it. Familiarity with this person inspired me to start collecting and your collection. I collect stamps. My collection is not yet large, but in the future, I think, can boast a huge variety!
