No you're not....
As long as you have a place to keep it without mess and you're not spending money that should go somewhere else (e.g. spending the rent/utility/food money on tchotchkes), go for it 
I agree with Grandpa, though--make some provision for your collection or be content that most of it will end up in a landfill when you're gone. I have a 46 Y.O brother that regularly violates the first two provisions (and actually thinks his 'collectables' are worth something)--him, I have a problem with.
My weakness is movies and books, and it is hard to think that most will be dumped when I shuffle offstage, but there you go.

...the moral of this story: avoid rabid dolphins.....
I'd do that! It would be nice to have the luxury to decide what happens to stuff; then again, it's probably better not to know (lol).You can always send them to me......
OH! That reminds me! Have you seen The Drop (as you're my fellow Tom Hardy-ophile--lol)? I picked it up yesterday for a few bucks, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Locke was TREMENDOUS--he should have been at least nominated for an Oscar.You can always send them to me......
No, you didn't........a little shot of his own medicine eh?....(I've been doing it too)
I have Locke and, yes, he should have at least got an Oscar nom, but I haven't seen The Drop. I did read that he's slated to star in at least three Mad Max movies!
I collect fabric. Occasionally I cut it apart and sew it back together to make a quilt. 
I don't know who going to do what with it all when I'm gone but I'm not going to worry too much about it now. I say collect what you like if it adds happiness to your life. But I agree with Skimom that we shouldn't spend the money that should go for bills and such.

Me neither. I collect Marvel cards even though I'm a girl.

If this is what makes you happy, go for it. The older I get the more I've come to realize we all need something to be passionate about or obsessed about. As long as that doesn't hurt anybody I don't see any problem.
Yes he did.No, you didn't.....
No, you didn't.....
