The liobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest of the
collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively
displayed. Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost
any subject. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a
specific subtopic within their area of general interest: for example. 19th century postage stamp, milk
bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian harnesses and tack. Others prefer to keep a more general
collection, accumulating Star Trek merchandise, or stamps from all countries of the world. Some
collections are capable of being completed, at least to the extent of owning one sample of each possible
item in the collection (e.g. a copy of every book by Agatha Christie). Collectors who specifically try to
assemble complete collections in this way are sometimes called “completist”. Upon completing a
particular collection, they may stop collecting, expand the collection to include related items, or begin an
entirely new collection. The most popular fields in collecting have specialized commercial dealers that
trade in the items being collected, as well as related accessories. Many of these dealers started as
collectors themselves, then turned their hobby into a profession. There are some limitations on
collecting, however. Someone who has the financial means to collect stamps might not be able to collect
sports cars, for example.
