a sense of community and sharing....
the vast majority of the population will be quick to label collectors crazy and a tile short of a roof (and I actually understand their point), so its nice to find like minded people to enjoy your hobby with. Its by sharing collections that hidden gems become found too, Ive found items on this board that I still wouldn't know exists if I hadn't seen them here.
Its also a useful place to present a collection for online reference if you ever need to check something out whilst you are away from home, and for purposes of an insurance record.
