My collection would be much smaller if I sold lesser condition guns after finding a better one of the same grade and configuration. A "collection much smaller" is something I should be working on, but it is a rough ride.

I think a "collection" implies that there is some relationship between all the pieces therein. Additionally, it suggests I have a plan, or at least know something. Hence, I prefer to think of myself as an "accumulator".

My wife tells me to dust in my library because the "stuff" in there has collected dust. I now know that I can correct her and tell her that the so-called stuff only "accumulated" the dust.

My guess is that I'll still have to dust in the library.
