I think collecting is about control. Controlling a tiny world in which nobody has access to it.
The good thing about our collections is that we take the power to categorising it as we prefer. Then we became the kings of our particular kingdom.
I do believe every single person in the world is a collector. As we do collect all kinds of objects we do also collect memories.
- When I was young did I collected anything?
- What do I think about Compulsive Collectors?
- It is a men or women hobby?
There is something that come to my mind every time I think about collectors.
What is the criteria they follow to categorise the objects?
- Colour
- Alphabetic order
- Size
- Shape
- Location
- Money value
- Memories
Every video a watched shows happy people living in armony with their collections. If something make you happy and you do not disturb to anybody why should be a Pathology?
In most of the cases there is a lot of money invested in collections. Do you need money to be collector? What about space? Some people required lot of space to keep their collection.
Unlikely Treasures
Collectors, archivists and obsessives: is there a method to their madness? UNLIKELY TREASURES features people who collect unexpected things like clothespins, platform shoes, etc, and intimate discussions about the compulsion to collect and the urge to create order out of chaos. You think staplers aren't worth collecting? Think again.

The 2 Million Dollar Doll Collection
Doll mad Kathy Libraty is barely visible amongst her astonishing collection of antique dolls - worth a whopping £1.23m. Every inch of the 52-year-old's home is filled with over 1000 of the figures she has been collecting for over 25 years. Mum Kathy is so obsessed with dolls she now has to smuggle new editions to her hoard into her home - past her husband who said 'no more'. But along with pretty daughter Elisa, 19, even hubbie Frank, 52, gets roped in to helping her repair and organise her vast assortment. Kathy's dolls - ranging from two inches to over three feet high - come from all over the world including countries like Germany, France and the Far East. Some individual models are over 170 years old and all cost between £30,000 and a meagre 60p. Included in the range are famous figures like Henry VIII and his six wives, Victorian dolls from the 1900s, voodoo dolls, and even some from the 1880s used to smuggle opium.
