Why Collections Aren’t Just Clutter
Author : Damian Higgens
Some simply cast collector’s items off as space-cluttering wastes of money, while others fawn over them like precious idols. People of all ages find themselves attached to certain objects, objects which they feel the need to accumulate to what some may refer to as a fanatical degree. In some cases this may indeed be the result of some sort of disorder, but it is important to consider what it is that drives so many people to become collectors.
Forms of apparel, such as Christian lapel pins or baseball caps, are relatively affordable modes of expression. These may express what someone is passionate about, a religious group or a favorite sports team or even a political statement, and through a greater accumulation of them they are expressing an even stronger sense of loyalty. Even non-uniform clothing articles, such as silly wigs or shoes, may be seen as modes of communication, demonstrating that person’s versatility.
Another important means of collecting is a need to savor cherished memories. Coins, spoons or charms are popular collector’s items that fall under this category. Many people will collect one of these custom metal products from various places they have visited or events they have attended. Others will collect posters, t-shirts, or maybe autographs to remember proof that they met someone famous.
In that regard, collections – consciously or subconsciously – often stem from a need to impress. That is why so many people proudly display their collections, whether they are physically wearing them, posting them on their walls or showcasing them around their homes. Even photo albums and home videos may be seen as a display of one’s collection.
Though they may be acquired with self-centered intentions, it is through collections that we are able to communicate to each other when words are not enough. Museums and even seemingly insignificant collections like custom coin minting help maintain our history and teach us about what is important to one another. So the next time you accuse someone of wasting their money on a pack of baseball cards, consider what they are trying to say with those cards.
