I liken this to classic car collecting.
Some think of them as investments, keeping them locked away in the hopes they'll gain significantly in value.
And some like to spend their time polishing and buffing their beauties and trailer hauling them about to car shows.
And then there's those that prefer to focus on keeping them in tip-top shape mechanically; and driving them for enjoyment; perhaps occasionally driving to a car event or track day for the camaraderie and shared 'car talk'.

I guess there's merit to each; but I like driving 'em!

After being asked why he collects cars; one man responded " It's like having a mistress; then finding out she's independently wealthy"

Each to their own.
