Collectors
Look around your room. Are you a collector? If you have
more than two versions of the same item, you could be.
So, what do people collect? All kinds of things! From vinyl
records to bracelets, from very little cars to quite big cars …
and even airplanes!
But how does it start? For some people, they became
collectors just by chance. They started with one thing – like
a shell or a comic book, and then they got another one and
another one and soon they were organizing them by colour,
size, and favourites – a sign that they were becoming true
collectors.
And then after a few months or sometimes years of
collecting, they suddenly realise that they are collectors!
In the old days, many people liked to collect stamps from
different countries and keep them in special books, or old
coins that were often worth a lot of money.
Some people collected postcards from different places
around the world when they travelled or they asked other
people to send them postcards as a memory of the trip.
When travel took longer and was more expensive, this was
one way to feel like a traveller without actually going to
those places.
Nowadays, you can collect almost anything, but some of
the more popular collections include shoes, special figures,
film posters, and, of course, football cards.
These items are sometimes quite expensive, which makes
some of the collections very valuable.
Some cultures actually encourage collecting. More than
fifty years ago, you could collect toys from breakfast cereal
boxes!
But collecting is not for everyone. Some people prefer to
only keep what they need and nothing more. What about
you? Do you collect anything?
