Line 26:
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]]s." 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 car|sports-cars]], for example. One alternative to collecting physical objects is collecting experiences of a particular kind. Examples include collecting through observation or [[photography]] (especially popular for transportation, e.g. [[train spotting]], [[aircraft spotting]], [[metrophile]]s, [[bus spotting]]; see also [[I-Spy]]), [[bird-watching]], and systematically visiting continents, countries, states, national parks, [[county collecting|counties]] etc.
