I'm probably a bit of both. I try not to buy stamps or lots that doesn't fit into my collections, but when I see something I like at a fair price it is kinda hard telling myself no...

Tony - you are neither collector or accumulator. You are a philatelist.

I never was able to afford to be an accumulator - since 1952 I only purchased a single of the best quality stamp I could afford -mint, never hinged extremely fine-superb-gem quality without faults. I have very few duplicates.

I'm a collector. I collect one example of each stamp and no more. I have zero duplicates.
