I find that most people who collect things are usually people who enjoy there own company as much, if not more than others. Its that extra bit of personality that outgoing people express in public. To these usually shy, or not so outgoing people its a way to prove to themselves that they have some zest about them, who without this confidence, might otherwise feel boring or nervous around others. These personalities tend to keep private with any opinions or beliefs for fear of judgment, collecting allows only people who they trust (eg people they would invite to their home) to be able to judge.
