Collecting is one of the best – and oldest – hobbies in the world, and it’s very popular in English-speaking countries. Children like collecting because they feel happy when they finish their collection of football cards or when they get an unusual coin. Adults like it because they can forget work and stress, and they can remember special times, for example if they collect postcards, memorabilia or concert T-shirts.
