Dear Collectors,

Collectors are my kind of people. And my favorite collections are the weird ones: barbed wire, paper airplanes, barf bags. You can start a collection from anything, and it can be totally free. The most important part of a collection is how the collector organizes it, not the stuff itself.

The world’s first museums were nothing but glorified collections. Amateur scientists took the weird and wacky stuff from the natural world and put it into a room.

The world is a big, confusing place, full of lots of seemingly random stuff. Collectors make sense it by searching for related bits and pieces and giving them meaning.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
