Some collect cars, while others collect stamps
A true collector can spend hours examining the collection, admiring their treasures and sincerely rejoicing at a new exhibit. Types of collecting are classified according to the objects of interest. There are a huge number of them, because the list of what can be collected was compiled by itself in the course of history and embodied thousands of ideas of ordinary people.
Cacti, coins, labels, postcards, orders, stickers, stamps – the most common objects of collecting. And some collect original items – for example, globes (globophilia), seals (sphragistics), candles (shandalophilia), even there is such a type as lipography – collecting kiss prints.
