Hobby collectors of the OT - who are the worst group of collectors?

My ex wife was apparently a semen collector, and she was pretty bad. That’s my vote.

Bourbon nerds and wine snobs.

Absolutely. Driving prices skyward so that they can keep full bottles on pretentious displays and post pictures on social media.

Lego collectors are fricking psychotic

There are some insufferable vintage toy train collectors.

Just like clockwork, someone helps my point. I went to one of the collector train FB sites I administer, and there's a shite post. Some guy posted a picture of his 30's train, just the picture with FEF ("front end Friday"). Below, some guy posts about how certain parts look restored and that it is not fully original.

I think "nobody asked for an assessment of the item."

Any kind of car collector / motorsports enthusiast, but there's something about Ducatti motorcycles in particular that attracts the biggest douchetards on the planet. To a man, people who own those things act like this weird combination of 1) guy who just had his first three beers since graduating basic training; and 2) entitled fast food franchisee who fricks his employees.

Those who collect bodies in their crawlspaces.

I will say that WWII Collectors and Militaria collectors are a great bunch of baws. They work together and just an all around good bunch.. BBQ and everything...

But the down side is the collection it self... So many fakes have hit the market. Prices are going through the roof on items.. Like German Helmets, uniforms etc.

Then you have kids that are inheriting all the things that Grandpa had in the attic. And instead of trying to keep items together that belong together, they are breaking these things up just for the money without care for the historical aspects of the items, or it's meanings or lessons.
