I found the article very interesting, partly because I am intrigued by the way that the urge to collect manifests itself for different people.
To me, the best line in the piece was:
"Stuff tends to collect in New York City. So, too, do collectors — who bring more stuff."

Just to liven up this thread, here is today's acquisition:
I just could not resist this one, for $1.50! The reference to "the comet" is to Halley's Comet, which came to perihelion (closest to the Sun) on April 20, 1910. On May 19, the Earth actually passed through the tail of Halley's Comet.
"Sit up and take notice!"
Wow, that's a SAUCY woman!

It is unique & useful to read a newspaper article (or see a TV news report) about a subject of which you have first-hand knowledge ... you learn that they (journalists) cannot be trusted at the same time that you learn that, in fact, they get a lot right ... but its never the story you would have told.
