My only point is that we can’t judge a person with this kind of collection by the size of the collection alone.  The effort and dedication <i>usually</i> needed to amass such a large collection is what we <i>really</i> admire (or should, anyway), and the <i>size</i> of the collection is <i>usually</i> a proxy for that, so at first instinct, we are impressed by this person.  But the size does not imply effort and dedication in this case, for two reasons:  Firstly, he’s too young to have been doing this for very long, so we don’t know if this will simply be a passing fancy of his.  (I’m <i>not</i> saying it will be, I’m saying that in this case we <i>don’t know</i>; unlike a normal aging collector which we can reasonably assume to have put in the years required for our admiration.)  Secondly, as a consequence of the first, he must have bought it all relatively <i>quickly</i>, and we all know that when you want something fast, it’ll cost you.  Also, things like an Apple I don’t come cheap nowadays, no matter how many years you spend roaming flea markets looking for them.  This suggests that he has a lot of money – much more than the average adult, even – which in turn suggests that he hasn’t made any significant monetary sacrifice in acquiring the collection.<p>So, we can reasonably deduce that he hasn’t spent much time, effort or money (for <i>him</i>, anyway) on this collection, at least compared to the usual collector with a comparable collection.  <i>Therefore</i>, we can’t say anything about his dedication to and interest in this subject, because the collection alone does not demonstrate it.<p>I am not trying to denigrate him – I am simply not impressed by him <i>yet</i>.
