Freud (with regards to the psychology of collecting), took the extreme position on the origins of collecting.
Freud postulated that all collecting stems from unresolved toilet training conflict. He took the stance that the loss of bowel control was a traumatic experience, and the product from the bowels was disgusting and frightening to the child.
Therefore, the collector is trying to gain back control of their bowels as well as their "possessions" which were long flushed down the crapper. Where Freud linked object fixation to the anal-retentive stage in childhood.

Chronic diarrhea leads to hoarding.
This explains everything.

I collect coins, movies, commemorative soft drink bottles and cars but also have several other interests, like guns, that I dabble in. I don't know that saying I have about 16 or 17 guns would be considered a collection...at least not here. Home theatre is a huge interest for me and i spend a lot of money on it but can't consider it a collection.
I don’t collect anything. I think it’s the most bizarre behavior. My in laws collected Salt and pepper shakers amassing a collection of well over 10,000 sets. They had an entire room of their house set up to display them. Spent countless weekends and probably $100k in their pursuit. They’re in card board boxes taking up an 8’x8’ section of my unfinished basement for almost 3 years now. Stupid fugkers.
I collect Iron wood sculptures. I also collect canes and old coins. I used to have an antique booth and that's when I got in the canes and iron wood. But my dad and I started collecting old coins when i was a kid. I have a pretty good collection now.
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!
Violence may not be the best option... but it's still an option.

Me too, teachers retirement, SS, union pension, I’m freeloader now. Got a letter from SS today, telling how much they are cutting my SS. I knew it was coming.
Deer antlers. I saw the skull and skin it off . Let them dry and end up hanging them in the attic where nobody ever sees them. My wife wants me to get rid of them and she has never even been in the attic. Don't know why I save them all but I do.

Had a few Kleinguenthers, sold them 2 days ago. I mostly accumulate rifles!
Say it ain’t so! I was hoping to pick one up for myself.
