I have to agree with Paladin and mbliss.....

I don't really consider myself a "collector" but over the years I have "collected" a number of what I call "gun shop saves".......ranging from a Registered Magnum and a 1955/56 Pre-39 ( now living in Ohio LOL) to unfired; Interarms Blue Walther PPK and Beretta 92SB (bright blue) compact Type M(single stack).

All were anib or 95%+.... all were 25 years old or older, the price was right and they deserved to be preserved. Like mbliss I've got my shooters..... so maybe I'm preserving some history .......... or just have a nice savings account that pays more than .2%
