   I guess that you could argue that ANY collector is nuts. Why collect
paintings when a photo is more realistic and cheaper? Why collect cars that
can't be driven and that take up large amounts of room and that are a
potential fire hazard? Why collect Beanie Babies? They're just cheap
stuffed toys. You get the point.
