[COLLECTION] [CREATIVE] [MK COLLECTION]
I agree... it's the collection as a whole that has any significance or value. Keeping track of numbers is only for the benefit of non-collectors who ask, and for seeing how each year of purchases compares to previous years (for me).
I just like knowing how many I have. I first started counting/cataloging my Transformers collection in 1985 (I made a spreadsheet on our Commodore 64!). Of course a common counting method isn't necessary for this.
Having a common counting method has helped me:
1/ Compare my collection count with others who have chosen to use the UCM
2/ Determine the average size of a Transformers collection - I've wanted to know this since 1996!
How people want to count their collections (if at all) is up to them. You only need to use an agreed upon method if you want to compare your counts or participated in the survey project... beyond that it doesn't matter.
