Has Anyone Recently Completed a Collection?

Hello:

I'm new to the list, so please forgive me if this is outside the
normal run of things:

I was hoping to speak with (and interview) folks who have recently
completed a collection. It's part of a research project that I'm
preparing for the 2005 Popular Culture Association conference in San
Diego. If you are interested in speaking with me, please email me at
, or call me at 215-895-1823.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You might try leaving the same request in some of the more popular
specific collecting groups, (i.e. coins, stamps, books, dolls, cards,
etc.) I frequent rec.collecting.coins, and the topic of "why we
collect" has come up more than once, so you might generate some
interest.

It just seems that rec.collecting may have fewer posters, and some of
the more specific groups may have more rabid collectors.
