I think you need to clarify what kind of collections you mean. Collections meaning money terms. Or collections as in stamps, star wars figures, comics, toe nail clippings, Barry Manilow albums etc... (Eugh, that last one is just sick)

you're right, that last one is sick.

What i mean is someone that doesn't just buy things, but feels the need to make a collection out of them. for example, instead if just buying one album by a band, they feel they have to buy them all. Or an authors entire back catalogue etc.
