There are two kinds of people in the world (in addition to the hundreds of other two kinds of people in the world): those who collect things and those who do not. In my own experience, these two races almost always intermarry. Since I've recently been sorting through some of my grandfather's stamp collection, I thought it would be fun to talk a little bit about what we collect, why we collect it, and whether we find our collections bringing us closer to other people or alienating us from them.
