The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 30, July 23, 2000, Article 12 COLLECTING AS AN ILLNESS On a related note, a column by Michael Batz in the July 19th edition of "In Pittsburgh", a local arts and entertainment weekly, asks the question, "What worthless piece of crap human being collects these damned multiple TV Guide 'collector's covers?'" "People collect all sorts of stuff - coins, stamps, baseball cards, dolls, urine - but whatever it is, there's usually a legitimate reason that boils down to love, money, or mental illness. Surely the folks over at TV Guide aren't depending on the mentally ill to fill their coffers.... Instead of buying all six TV Guides this week, you would be better off just giving me the $10.74, and when you turn 65, I'll just slap you upside the head and call you an idiot. You'll be spared the embarrassment of realizing it yourself, and meanwhile, you'll have space for other collections..."
